But If Not

Have you read the talk by Elder Dennis E. Simmons of the Seventy titled, But if Not? I was prompted to go look it up and read it after our lesson in Gospel Doctrine a couple of Sundays ago. It is a great talk, and I highly recommend reading it. The Old Testament is not my favorite. But, through studying it this year, I’ve learned some valuable lessons from those prophets of old.

It is easier to listen to the whisperings of the adversary than it is to listen to the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. In the talk, Never Leave Him, by Neil L. Andersen Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles given at this past general conference, he talks about never leaving the Savior’s side, although at times it may seem tempting … Continue reading →
