Preemptive War (1.8 MiB)
A declaration of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regarding governments and laws… is incorporated as Section 134 of the Doctrine and Covenants of the Church… and the statement stands as applicable today as the day it was written.
To every man, says Joseph Smith, is given an inherent power to do right or to do wrong. In this he has his free agency. He may choose the right and obtain salvation, or he may choose evil and merit abomination
It has been the doctrine and practice of the covenant people of God in all ages to be subject to the worldly “powers that be,” and to sustain and uphold them in all just and proper government.
The Gospel of Christ is the Perfect Law of Liberty. So says James the Apostle. But liberty does not mean license, nor does the Gospel stand for antiquated tradition or for present-day speculation, religious or irreligious.
Free agency does not guarantee freedom and liberty. Freedom and liberty and peace are the products of right decisions made in the exercise of free agency.
Next to being one in worshiping God there is nothing in this world upon which this Church should be more united than in upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States.
Man’s responsibility is correspondingly operative with his free agency. Actions in harmony with divine law and the laws of nature will bring happiness, and those in opposition to divine truth, misery.
Elder Cowley told me why the man told me the plan. Now that I had been permitted to hear Satan’s plan, in detail, I could choose which I would follow, Satan or Christ.
We should continue to speak out for freedom and against socialism and communism… We should continue to come to the aid of patriots, programs and organizations which are trying to save our Constitution through every legal and moral means possible.
I testify that Jesus Christ has redeemed us from the Fall, that He lives, and that through Him we “are free to choose liberty and eternal life.”

I led a discussion in Freedom Society several weeks ago on this topic, and I found that a very helpful resource was Elder Nelson’s talk in the October 2002 General Conference entitled “Blessed Are the Peacemakers.” I don’t know what criteria you use to create these lesson plans, but maybe if that talk isn’t useful it will point you toward other things that might be. Let me know if you have questions. Great job with the site!
