1. We have a responsibility to discover truth. Not only is it a good thing to search the scriptures diligently but it is my responsibility to seek after the truth. I am going to apply this to my daily life by not only reading the scriptures but searching for light and knowledge during my study.
2. Seek truth to get rid of contention. President Uchtdorf explained that contention is of the devil and will not bring the spirit into my apartment. I will apply this into my daily life by seeking truth and allowing the Holy Ghost to be my guide. As long as I follow Christ, I will be less contentious with my friends and roommates.
3. Once I know the truth I need to follow it. President Uchtdorf explained that once we find the truth it is important to live it and apply it to our daily life. Knowing the truth requires great responsibility including the responsibility to share it and help other people live it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the CES fireside given by President Uchtdorf. I plan on applying these important principles to my life so that I can continually be on the quest for truth.
i watched this fireside at home (i was sick, so i didn't get to attend in person, sadly..). definitely the best kind of "media" out there! He speaks with so much power and loving care for us.
ReplyDeleteI love when the prophet and apostles talk about truth! It is so comforting to know that there is truth and that if we are faithful and prayerful, our Heavenly Father will help us discover it. We can never waiver from truths we have already discovered either! The gospel is an infinite truth and no other "truth" can change that.
