While his enemies gained power through fraud and deceit, Moroni empowered the Nephites by teaching them to be faithful to God (see Alma 48:7). How do we, like Captain Moroni, create places of security for those around us in these sometimes frightening and perilous times? We can begin by following the admonition found in 1 Timothy 4:12 [1 Tim. 4:12]: “Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” – Virginia U. Jensen, “Creating Places of Security,” Ensign (CR) November 1997
