2015 meeting with LDS apostles addressing faith crisis concerns.
“Questions lead to faith and to revelation, whereas doubts lead to disobedience, which in turn renders people less able to receive revelation. Or in other words, doubt is darkness.” - Richard E. Turley, Lawyer, Assistant Church Historian, "Boise Rescue" Devotional, June 13, 2015
“There will be small defects in any mortal structure or any mortal life but we should never lose sight of the wonderful all encompassing plan and doctrine of the Lord's Church by their fruits not by the occasional fruit fly.” - Dallin H. Oaks, LDS Apostle, "Boise Rescue," Boise, Idaho Devotional, June 13, 2015
“Modern apostles are called to be witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world (D&C 107:23). This is not to witness of a personal manifestation. To witness of the name is to witness of the plan, the work or mission, such as the atonement and the authority or priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ, which an apostle who holds the keys is uniquely responsible to do. Of course, apostles are also witnesses of Christ just like all members of the Church who have the gift of the Holy Ghost.” - Dallin H. Oaks, LDS Apostle, "Boise Rescue," Boise, Idaho Devotional, June 13, 2015
“We need to define the difference between doubts and questions. Questions, when asked with a sincere desire to increase one's understanding and faith, are to be encouraged. Such questions, questions we call them, are asked with the real intent of better understanding and more fully obeying the will of the Lord. Questions are very different from doubts.” - Dallin H. Oaks, LDS Apostle, "Boise Rescue," Boise, Idaho Devotional, June 13, 2015
When you follow false prophets, when you start toward apostasy, you are on the wrong side. - Dallin H. Oaks, LDS Apostle, "Boise Rescue," Boise, Idaho Devotional, June 13, 2015
