This particular painting was originally inspired by a scripture in Moroni 7 (see if you can find out which verses apply). Though Satan's efforts to thwart God's plan will never prevail, unfortunately he gains great hold over the hearts of those who do not give heed to their conscience, the light of Christ, and the Holy Ghost. To those who are not seeking after absolute truth, even the laws of God which uphold and govern all things, any pleasant lie will do. It has been said, "If you do not stand up for something, you will fall for anything." When it comes to each individual choice that we make, there is simply no such thing as a good gray. It's either white, or it's not. Interestingly, in the realm of white light, we find that a prism reveals many beautiful colors within that light. I believe that is how we are different, by choosing which colors to emphasize within the bounds of the God's laws. Though there can be many right choices within the realm of white, there is no such thing as a gray choice that is acceptable in God's sight. The media today is aiding Satan in leading us through all the shades of gray and into the darkest black. The next phase and perhaps another possible painting is calling black white, and white black. Satan somehow is duping people to believe that evil is good, and some good is evil. Only the honest in heart who do not ignore guilt when they are faced with sin, and repent to let the Savior bring them back to the white area, will finally live with a Perfect God forever.
