“Cursed Is He That Putteth His Trust in Man”

Ed J. Pinegar, Richard J. Allen

The precepts of men are not of God. Decisions that matter most need to be made by following the Spirit (see 1 Nephi 4:6; 2 Nephi 32:5). We should trust in the Lord in all things (see 2 Nephi 4:34). Here is a question of conscience: Do we put our trust in man, his precepts, and the arm of flesh—or in God?
