“It does not take long for a people who are full of pride to ‘forget the Lord their God’ and ‘be led away by the evil one.’ (Alma 46:8.) One wicked individual can cause great wickedness to take place among such a people. (See Alma 46:9.)
“On the other hand, one righteous person can make a difference in such a setting. Captain Moroni reacted to this situation by making a banner. … He prayed fervently to the Lord. … This became such an important time for Moroni that he challenged all his supporters to ‘enter into a covenant. … ’ (Alma 46:20.)” (Garrett, “Inspired by a Better Cause,” 75).
