But, keeping in mind that...

• We have known for a long time, from the scriptures, that things would get crazy in these last days.
• And fortunately we have also been promised that the Lord will comfort/bless/sustain His people, if we keep His commandments faithfully.
• We'll have problems -- every age has -- but the important thing is to be faithful & follow the prophets, & help others as much as we wisely can.
• But, keeping in mind that...
• teaching to help the audience grow from their current position (not from where we wish they were), and
• never confusing good with evil or truth with error, and
• being faithful, patient, kind, & of good cheer, because we know the Lord will keep His promises literally (cf Sermon on the Mount, for example).
• Matthew 24:12-13
  

  "12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
  13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

• 2 Nephi 28:24-26 "Wo unto..."
  

  "24 Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion!
  25 Wo be unto him that crieth: All is well!
  26 Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men, 
     and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!

• 2 Nephi 30:9-12 (Or Isaiah 11:4 ff.): God will judge the wicked and there will be peace.
  

  " 9 And with righteousness shall the Lord God judge the poor, and reprove with 
     equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod 
     of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
  
  10 For the time speedily cometh that the Lord God shall cause a great division 
     among the people, and the wicked will he destroy; and he will spare his 
     people, yea, even if it so be that he must destroy the wicked by fire.
  
  11 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the 
     girdle of his reins.
  
  12 And then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb; and the leopard shall lie down 
     with the kid, and the calf, and the young lion, and the fatling, together; and 
     a little child shall lead them.
