Seeking for Truth

When we seek for truth, from any source then God we will always be disappointed. Science constantly seeks for truth and the truth is constantly changing. Instead of looking to The source of truth, God, they seek after truth that comes from the "arm of flesh."

I believe that this is why Joseph Smith said,"I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct book on earth, ...., and a man would get nearer to God [Truth], then by abiding by its precepts, then by any other book." Because its writing is true it will teach us truth. It is correct because its source is God, who is truth. If you are wondering what you should do in your life, abiding by the teachings of the Book of Mormon will always put you in the right path.

Think about Lehi's vision of the tree of life. It talks about the people pressing forward catching hold of the rod of iron (the word of God). Those who let go were lost in the mist of darkness. Also, that harkened to those in the great and spacious building fell away. They ignored the source of truth, God.

As we move into more and more dangerous times if we seek for truth from science, philosophies of men, or political sources, we will be deceived. The only answer is to turn to God and apply His truths and we will see how to navigate in these perilous time.
