While [the] precious, vital message [of the Restoration] has been proclaimed across the world, Satan has been most effective in causing people to ignore it or to look in the wrong places for it.

They have been led to be absorbed by mundane things that distract them from the essential ones. Don't you make that mistake. Richard G. Scott
