In these days of concern about the stability of governments or world affairs, people everywhere would do well to remember that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to find peace.

At the October 1993 general conference, Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Quorum of the Twelve said: "We live in a day when Lucifer's influence is greater than we ever have known in our lifetime. In terms of the sin, evil, and wickedness upon the earth, we could liken our time to the days of Noah before the flood. No one is immune to affliction and difficulty, whether it be economical, emotional, or spiritual. Immorality, violence, and divorce, with their accompanying sorrows, plague society worldwide."The only way to find peace, happiness, and security and to overcome the evils of the world and temptations of this generation is in the gospel of Jesus Christ."
