Buffet Followers

Look for how much of the Gospel they wanted.
   Behold, I say unto you, that they desire to know the truth in part, but not all, for they are not right before me and must needs repent.
Doctrine & Covenants 49:2

The members mentioned in this verse wanted the Gospel in their lives… at least “in part”. But are we any better? Like a buffet line, do we like to pick our favorite aspects of the gospel and ignore other parts? Do we want to be followers of Jesus Christ completely, or “in part”?  Do we want God to touch some areas of our lives, but hands off other aspects of our lives?


Today’s Takeaway: Take some time and consider what parts of your life you have not let the Savior and His Gospel in.  The Lord won’t let us pick and choose to be halfway, part-time followers of Him. God is good.  Trust Him and surrender those areas of your life to Him. Otherwise, we really “must needs repent.”
