Maka-FekeToday we are surrounded by the maka-fekes which the evil one dangles before us and with which he attempts to entice us and then to ensnare us. Once grasped, such maka-fekes are ever so difficult—and sometimes nearly impossible—to relinquish.

To be safe, we must recognize them for what they are and then be unwavering in our determination to avoid them.President Thomas S. Monson
