Motives

I just read an article by S. Michael Wilcox. It was about the Abrahamic Covenant. In it, he said,

"There is, however, a chance that an elect, covenant people may allow the world’s cultures, laws, values, and standards to infiltrate their own. They may become like the world rather than blessing the world as the Abrahamic covenant anticipated."

Are we adopting the standards of the world? Do we allow our children to watch PG-13 movies infiltrated with evil, just because the world says it is appropriate for 13-year-olds? Do we look to magazines for tips on fashion and living, or do we look to the scriptures? Who are our role models?
It's a scary world.

1 Nephi 13:9  "And also for the praise of the world do they..."

Consider your motives. Why do you do the things that you do? 

For the world, for yourself, or for your Father in Heaven?
