“The Guilty Taketh the Truth to Be Hard”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

The nature of men has ever been the same. Characteristically the righteous rejoice in the word of God, while the wicked are offended with it. Wickedness and truth are no more compatible than light and darkness. Those who leave the Church, clothed in deeds of darkness, find it difficult to leave the Church alone. All too often they are found attempting to expose the Church or demean its doctrines-activities necessitated by their guilt, for they realize that if the Church is true they are servants of darkness and must needs repent.
