The Secular Church - Neal A. Maxwell

In 1978, the late Neal A. Maxwell (former Apostle in the Mormon Church) delivered a powerful and prophetic sermon at Brigham Young University concerning what he called "the secular church."

In this talk he predicted the rise of irreligion as the new state religion and prophesied that the important moral issues of life, family, marriage and religious rights would become subjects of intense persecution by the Secular Church.

Although he does evoke a few examples from the Book of Mormon, Elder Maxwell's talk is a message and a warning to people of all faiths.

I believe this is one of the most power presentations you have done Seth! Thank you so much for recalling to our memory the words of Elder Maxwell!

"When we choose Christ, acting in faith to humble ourselves before Him, we put ourselves in the hands of the Master Finisher. As we do his will, he will help us be stripped of pride and become meek and lowly in heart, filled with his pure and perfect love."

@DDAY2ndRangers Okay, I'll have to get it at the library someday.

@iplaydrumsnguitar i strongly urge you to read David McCullough's 1776 as Washington writes in his correspondence with subordinates and family concerning the role Providence has played in their victories (Trenton/Princeton) and even the safe retreat across the hudson river from white plains back into manhattan.

@Vutxzzn2 I've listened to an interview of an expert on George Washington on NPR and he said that he was a Deist and only prayed with his soldiers to comfort them. The Utah legistature required History classes to teach about his prayers, but my AP History teacher also said that he was a Deist who never said personal prayer.

@iplaydrumsnguitar George Washington was a firm believer in Christianity. and he did pray. quoting Peter Lillback "here are over one hundred different prayers composed and written by Washington in his own hand, with his own words, in his writings...."

*Lillback, Peter A. (2007-02-10). "Why Have Scholars Underplayed George Washington’s Faith?".

[iplaydrumsnguitar]

The story of George Washington praying is a lie because he was a Deist who didn't pray. I have a strong testimony of prayer, but we can't spread the lie that George Washington was a prayerful man.
