David A. Bednar said: “The precise nature of the test of mortality, then, can be summarized in the following question: Will I respond to the Inclinations of the natural man, or will I yield to the enticings of the Holy Spirit and put off the natural man?”
THE IDEA BEHIND this religious test or standard is, of course, that if the topic or message one intends to share in Church can be tied directly to Jesus Christ then it clears the bar, as it were, and is deemed appropriate—therefore, one can feel perfectly comfortable in discussing or sharing it in Church. But, if this intended topic or message cannot be tied directly to Jesus Christ then it fails to meet the standard or clear the bar and is, therefore, not an appropriate topic or message and ought not to be shared in a Church setting.
