This is especially difficult when our judgment or public opinion differs from His will for His children.<\/li>\n<li>Some suggest that we should redraw the lines between what is right and what is wrong because they say that truth is relative, reality is self-defined, or God is so generous that He does not actually care about what we do.<\/li>\n<li>As we seek to understand and accept God\u2019s will, it is helpful to remember that the boundaries between right and wrong are not for us to define. God has established these boundaries Himself, based on eternal truths for our benefit and blessing.<\/li>\n<li>The desire to change God\u2019s eternal truth has a long history. It started before the world began, when Satan rebelled against God\u2019s plan, seeking selfishly to destroy human agency. Following this pattern, people like Sherem, Nehor, and Korihor have argued that faith is foolish, revelation is irrelevant, and whatever we want to do is right. Sadly, so very often these deviations from God\u2019s truth have led to great sorrow.<\/li>\n<li>While some things may depend on context, not everything does. President Russell M. Nelson has consistently taught that God\u2019s saving truths are absolute, independent, and defined by God Himself.<\/li>\n<li>At all times, it is helpful to remember Alma\u2019s teaching that God gives His word according to the attention and effort we devote to it. If we heed God\u2019s word, we will receive more; if we ignore His counsel, we will receive less and less until we have none. This loss of knowledge does not mean that the truth was wrong; rather, it shows that we have lost the capacity to understand it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>April 2019 General Conference\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/davidson-law.net\/CR\/2019%20Apr%200205%20HomerDP.pdf\">Hearing His Voice<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Relying solely upon our own thinking can lead us into a hyperintellectual stupor of thought.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Mountain climbers commonly refer to altitudes above 8,000 meters as the \u201cdeath zone\u201d because at those heights there is not enough oxygen to sustain life.
