Hearken Unto His Voice

Chillin'.
This past week we met a man who had a master’s degree in theology. We offered to say a prayer with him and he said, "No thanks, we don't agree on who Jesus Christ is so I would be wasting my time." Then we asked him who he thought Jesus Christ was. For the next 15 minutes he explained his beliefs. He talked about the trinity and about errors he'd found in the Bible that he chose to ignore because he wasn't sure how to explain them. He talked about several other things, but the point I'm trying to make is that he was a man who believes he is wise but doesn't understand. He said he understood everything clearly and yet he still believed in the trinity. 

The scriptures are clear that Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings, but one in purpose. Despite his learning, he didn't know that. It shows that the wisdom of God and of His prophets is more than all the things that men try to learn on their own. It reminds me of 2 Nephi 9:21

I invite all of you to consider your testimony of the gospel. What areas are you struggling with in your testimony? Sincerely ask God for help and He will give it to you.
