As little children at the time of king Benjamin's famous sermon, this generation lacked the faith and commitment of their parents. What is most amazing is not that this generation lacked faith but that the preceding one never faltered after covenanting to serve the Lord. In one incredible sermon, Benjamin was able to change the lives of all his people. For years afterward, they were still faithful, providing us with a great example of what it means to endure to the end. Somehow, they didn't allow the passage of time to dim the light of their faith or slacken the strength of their conviction. While for us it often takes many talks, lessons, sermons, and conferences (as the scriptures say, stirring them up continually, Enos 1:23) to keep us in the straight and narrow way, it seems that Benjamin's speech was a seminal, life-changing experience for all who heard it.
