“Serve the Devil”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

What follows is not a list of do’s and don’ts on the part of King Benjamin but rather a characterization of individuals and families who have been born of the Spirit. To have the Lord’s Spirit is to do the things that the Lord would do; conversely, those possessed of an evil spirit will be the perpetrators of evil deeds. Parents are admonished to teach their children to love and serve each other. Such actions will be attended by the Spirit of the Lord, whereas to fight and quarrel is to befriend the spirit of the evil one.
