"A long history of inspired voices … point you toward the path of Christian discipleship. It is a strait path, and it is a narrow path without a great deal of latitude at some points, but it can be thrillingly and successfully traveled, “with … steadfastness in Christ, … a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men.” In courageously pursuing such a course, you will forge unshakable faith, you will find safety against ill winds that blow, even shafts in the whirlwind, and you will feel the rock-like strength of our Redeemer, upon whom if you build your unflagging discipleship, you cannot fall."
-Jeffrey R Holland, "The Cost and Blessings of Discipleship", April 2014 General Conference
“Faith never demands an answer to every question but seeks the assurance and courage to move forward, sometimes acknowledging, ‘I don’t know everything, but I do know enough to continue on the path of discipleship. Immersing oneself in persistent doubt, fueled by answers from the faithless and the unfaithful, weakens one’s faith in Jesus Christ and the restoration. ‘The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him.’ … In a future day, you will have 100 times more information than from all of today’s search engines combined, and it will come from our all-knowing Father in Heaven.”
– Elder Neil L. Andersen, “Faith is not by Chance, but by Choice”, Priesthood Session, October 2015 General Conference
It is okay to have questions, the important thing is to go to the right sources to find the answers! The Internet is full of lies and half-truths. If we have questions, what tools do we have to help find the answers?
-scriptures
-temple
-conference talks
-go to church (go to all your meetings)
-church leaders
-Holy Ghost
"If you ever think that the gospel isn't working so well for you, I invite you to step back, look at your life from a higher plane, and simplify your approach to discipleship. Focus on the basic doctrines, principles, and applications of the gospel. I promise that God will guide and bless you on your path to a fulfilling life, and the gospel will definitely work better for you."
-Pres Uchtdorf, "It Works Wonderfully" Oct 2015 General Conference
