Mark: Mosiah 17:11-12
“You don’t need to compromise your standards to be accepted by good friends. The more obedient you are…the more the Lord can help you overcome temptation. You can also help others because they will feel your strength. Let them know about your standards by consistently living them…No one intends to make serious mistakes. They come when you compromise your standards to be more accepted by others. You be the strong one. You be the leader. Choose good friends and resist peer pressure together.”
~ Elder Richard G. Scott
Why did King Noah not resist the pressure from the evil priests? What helps you to resist peer pressure?
*King Noah reminds me of Pilot a bit. Both of the men had second thoughts about killing the men before them, but both of them listened to the crowds, and priests. They both were not good men, but they saw who they were condemning to die and they chose to allow it anyway. I am going to leave the second question to be answered by the readers.
