Day and Night

Is it easy to know between right and wrong in a day like today when evil is called good and good is called evil?  Is it easy to build our foundation upon Christ?  Consider these words that Mormon taught to the people of the church in his day:

For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.   For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.  - Moroni 7:15-16

As plain as the daylight is from the dark night?  Well, I can tell day from night easily enough, is it really that easy to tell good from evil? 
Yes, it's that easy.

It is easy, simple, and plain if we have the Spirit to guide us.  Any prompting to do good, to fast, to pray, to help, to bless, to be kind, to serve, to obey a commandment, etc, we can know with an absolute knowledge, nothing doubting, that these promptings are revelation.  For more, read "Following the Light of Christ into His Presence" pages 36-53 with the subheading "The Voices".  I'll try to type up some of it soon.
