I have noticed lately that there are many in and around the
church who expect that everything that comes from God should be something with
which they agree, and if they do not already agree with a teaching or doctrine
of the church, then they assume that it must not come from God. There are those who reject Christianity
and/or a belief in God, because they cannot reconcile their own beliefs with
those which are taught in the scriptures or by church leaders. There are members that persist in
disobedience to prophetic counsel because they cannot bring themselves to
listen to counsel with which they do not agree.
Many insist that they would obey a given commandment if only they
understood it, or they claim that they will live it just as soon as they gain a
testimony confirming that such a commandment is true.
