Title of Liberty

In the Book of Mormon, in the book of Alma, there are a lot of wars that are going on between the people, it's not unlike what is going on in the world today.  There are so many things that you can say about war.  There are a lot of questions that you can ask.  Why is the war being fought, what benefits will the people gain after the war is won, is the war for a just cause, and the list can go on and on.  People are always quick to point fingers at each other as to who started it and why they had to retaliate.  I am not here to get into all of the politics that accompany a discussion that focuses on war. What I am asking is, what do you feel is worth defending?  What is your Title of Liberty? 

In Alma 46 there was a man, Amalickiah, that was making trouble in the land, he wanted to be king.  The chief commander of the armies of the Nephites was Moroni.  Although he was the leader of the army he was also a man of God, a man that believed there was more to fight for than just a position or a section of land.  When he learned of things that Amalickiah was doing he got angry.  The following verses in Alma 46 tells us what he did:

 11 And now it came to pass that when Moroni, who was the chief commander of the armies of the Nephites, had heard of these dissensions, he was angry with Amalickiah.

 12 And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it—In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children—and he fastened it upon the end of a pole.

Moroni was reminding them why they were fighting, what they were defending.  The rest of the chapter goes on to say that he went and took this Title of Liberty throughout the land to show and remind the people of all that they had promised to defend.  In verse 21 is states, 

"...the people came running together with their armor girded about their loins, rending their garments in token, or as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God..."

As stated above, what is your Title of Liberty?  What righteous thing are you fighting for?  I am not even really talking about an actual, physical war.  What are you standing up for or against?  My Title of Liberty would say something pretty close to Moroni's.  I go throughout my day trying to set the example to others that we need to make choices that will benefit, defend, and strengthen the things that we hold most dear.  As long as the cause is a righteous one, God will help us succeed in protecting that which is most dear.  I am not stating that life will be perfect or that nothing bad will happen.  I am just wanting everyone to know that we are not alone in this life here on Earth and that there are things that are worth fighting for and defending.
