Read D&C 50:23-25
23 And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness.

25 And again, verily I say unto you, and I say it that you may know the truth, that you may chase darkness from among you;
Object Lesson
Have a picture of Jesus in a dark room. Light a candle and hold it about 5 ft (about 1.5 meters) from the picture and ask the kids how well they can see the picture.

In For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices (page 17) the first paragraph under the heading “Walk in God’s Light,” it says, “You make better choices when you can see things clearly. That’s why light is so important: light makes it easier to see the right path. Heavenly Father has given you access to heavenly light—the gift of the Holy Ghost—to help you see clearly what is good and bad, right and wrong.”
According to this paragraph, what helps us to see clearly what is good and bad, right and wrong?
What can we do to receive more light in our lives and chase away the darkness as we listen to the Holy Ghost?
