"There is much that is evil and unclean in music, the Internet, movies,
magazines, and in alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. As to any evil and unclean thing,
my young friends, do not even touch it! Disguised in such things is a hook that
sets subtly and much more suddenly than you dare think—and it can be an
excruciatingly painful process to extract the hook. Alma described that for him
the process of repentance was 'nigh unto death' (Mosiah
27:28); indeed, he stated that 'nothing [could be] so exquisite and so
bitter as were my pains' (Alma
36:21).
"There may be some of you who have been involved with that which is evil or
unclean. Take hope in the doctrinal and historical fact that Alma's faith in the
Lord led him to repent, and as a direct result of his repentance he experienced
such happiness through the power of the Atonement of Christ that, in his words,
'there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy' (Alma
36:21). Such will be your experience as you seek the Lord through
repentance." - Marcus B. Nash, "The
Great Plan of Happiness," Ensign, November 2006
