“They Did Deceive Many with Their Flattering Words”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Contention and dissension are of the devil (see 3 Nephi 11:29), particularly when fostered by members of the Church. They rob people of the influence of the Spirit of the Lord and strengthen and facilitate the designs of Lucifer and his minions.
