“Even as we seek to be meek and to avoid contention, we must not compromise or dilute our commitment to the truths we understand. We must not surrender our positions or our values. The gospel of Jesus Christ and the covenants we have made inevitably cast us as combatants in the eternal contest between truth and error. there is no middle ground in that contest.” MadeValuesJesusChristMiddlePositionEternalCommitmentJesus ChristErrorsCastsSurrenderCompromiseContestsCovenantMeekContentionMiddle Ground Author:Dallin H.

“Organized religion has too often followed the road of other people's institutions. It has made adjustments, compromises, and surrenders to a materialistic civilization for the benefit of material security in spite of occasional twinges of conscience and moral protests. The result has been that today much of organized religion is materialistically solvent but spiritually bankrupt.” PeopleHas BeensMadeTodayReligionResultsMoralSecurityMaterialsCivilizationBenefitsConscienceInstitutionsSurrenderCompromiseOrganizedSpiteProtestOccasionalAdjustmentMaterialisticOrganized Religion Author:Saul Alinsky
