“Safety can’t be won by tanks and guns and the airplanes and atomic bombs. There is only one place of safety and that is within the realm of the power of Almighty God that he gives to those who keep his commandments and listen to his voice, as he speaks through the channels that he has ordained for that purpose.” (Harold B. Lee, Conference Report, Oct. 1973, p. 169)
“When threatened, we become anti-enemy instead of pro-kingdom of God… . We forget that if we are righteous the Lord will either not suffer our enemies to come upon us—and this is the special promise to the inhabitants of the land of the Americas (2 Ne. 1:7)—or he will fight our battles for us.” (Spencer W. Kimball, Ensign, June 1976, p. 6)
