"Sometimes faithful Latter-day Saints and sincere investigators begin to focus on the 'appendages' instead of on the fundamental principles. That is, Satan tempts us to become distracted from the simple and clear message of the restored gospel. Those so distracted often give up partaking of the sacrament because they have become focused, even preoccupied, with less important practices or teachings. Others may focus on the questions and doubts they experience. Of course, having questions and experiencing doubts are not incongruent with dedicated discipleship. Recently, the Council of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles stated: 'We understand that from time to time Church members will have questions about Church doctrine, history, or practice. Members are always free to ask such questions and earnestly seek greater understanding.' Remember, Joseph Smith himself had questions that began the Restoration. He was a seeker and, like Abraham, found the answers to life's most important questions. The important questions focus on what matters most---Heavenly Father's plan and the Savior's Atonement." -- Elder M. Russell Ballard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLfVLZVEw0A #JesusChrist #Christianity #Questions #Answers #CalledToShare #ShareGoodness
