The article of the week this week is entitled, "An Easiness and Willingness to Believe," a talk given by Elder Michael T. Ringwood of the Quorum of the Seventy in the most recent General Conference. This article builds off last week's article about preserving the heart's mighty change and keeping the heart from becoming hardened. Elder Ringwood addresses those things that we can and should do in order to retain soft hearts and willing attitudes to do those things that bring eternal and lasting happiness.
Although many of the principles discussed in this article are simple and easy to understand, sometimes we choose not to apply them in our lives. I have noticed in my own life that when I consistently study my scriptures and pray, when I go to Church with a desire to learn and grow, when I look for opportunities to serve others, and when I otherwise apply the teachings of the Savior in my life, I find that the Spirit is more prevalent in my life and that I am more willing and able to believe the words of the prophets, both ancient and living.

That's kinda cool that you posted about this talk back in January. I got baptized on Jan 30 and my first Sacrament meeting talk is centered on Elder Ringwood's talk and I am giving it this sunday.
ReplyDeleteI really love your perspective on the talk too!
How'd the talk go?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting baptized, that's an exciting step!
I have a question for you as an investigator/new member. Sometimes I wonder if I don't cater to the nonmember reader enough although they are my intended audience. Is my blog easy to read or is the language I use hard to understand from a nonmember/new member perspective?
