True Doctrine

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

President Boyd K. Packer taught the following powerful idea: “True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior” (Boyd K. Packer, “Do Not Fear,” Ensign, May 2004, 77).

At LDSWHY one of our goals it to try to help us understand the doctrines (or eternal truths) of the gospel of Jesus Christ so that we can better live gospel principles and act the way God would have us act .  Right now we are beginning work on a project that helps explain some of the doctrines of the plan of salvation, such as “What will happen during the millennium” and “What is agency” and “What are the effects of the fall of Adam and Eve?”  As part of this project, we are interested in some of your questions connected to the doctrines of the gospel and the plan of salvation.   Your responses will help us know what doctrinal questions to focus on so we can make sure we are hitting the most common questions.
