On God and Public Issues

  Should a person seek revelation on public issues?  Immigration, climate change, the NFL flag controversy . . . Is it all just a matter of personal opinion? Or, can God help?
  I do know this: How you treat another person is a matter covered by gospel teachings. And, many of these things do involve how we treat each other.
  Others would add that whether you keep the law is a matter of right and wrong.
  So, some of these questions are worthy of God's help. And, they can be right or wrong.
  Saving the planet? If climate change is as endangering as some say it is, yes, we should seek God's help.
  I believe two people might have differing opinions on immigration, yet each of them might believe theirs is the right position. Bless them both. If they are seeking to please God, that is much of the battle. It is good to get it right, yes, but it is also good to be trying to get it right, to be seeking the answer God would have.
   If a nation is a God-fearing nation, it will seek God's help. And, if the people of that nation are to likewise be God-fearing, they must also turn to God as they form their opinions.
