At the end of every show the guy would say, 'But you don't have to take my word for it.' And then would direct you to a book or two to study about what we learned. I loved it! The same principle applies in the gospel.
The Savior said, 'If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.' (John 7:17)
And the prophet Alma said, 'Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves—It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me. Now behold, would not this increase your faith?' (Alma 32:28-29)
I know that if we will 'awake and arouse [our] faculties, even to an experiment upon [His] words, and exercise a particle of faith' (Alma 32:27) we will know what the Lord wants us to do. And our Faith will swell. Lets read the Book of Mormon and apply what we learn.
