“Thou Didst Forsake the Ministry”

Next, Corianton left his duty station. He was not where he should have been. Likewise, members of the Church who fail to attend their meetings, who choose to absent themselves from occasions to which they have by duty and assignment committed themselves, are walking on thin ice. They have forsaken their ministry.

“Thou Didst Forsake the Ministry”

When I have been tempted sometimes to do a certain thing, I have asked myself, Which side of the line am I on?“ If I determined to be on the safe side, the Lord’s side, I would do the right thing every time.

So when temptation comes, think prayerfully about your problem, and the influence of the Spirit of the Lord will enable you to decide wisely. There is safety for us only on the Lord’s side of the line.”
