D&C 58
As I read the instruction and counsel given by the revelation to Joseph Smith in Independence, Missouri, what struck me this morning -
"...he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 58:29)
...or in other words, their progress is slowed or stopped.
I felt somewhat accountable and guilty, in a small degree, with this instruction and sensed a need to repent. There have been times when my direct priesthood leader has given me a "commandment" and I have felt that so called commandment somewhat unnecessary, not applicable, or inappropriate and have ignored it or been quite slothful.
