"When you know that the Book of
Mormon is true, you know that Joseph Smith was called by God to restore
the Church of Jesus Christ to the earth. You know that Joseph Smith saw
the Father and the Son. You know that there is only one faith and one
valid baptism. You know that a prophet of God lives on the earth today
and that he has all the keys of the priesthood and the right to exercise
them, as Peter did anciently. You know that Jesus Christ is the Son of
God, the only name whereby you can receive salvation. You know that God
the Father lives and that He loves us. You know that His plan of
salvation is perfect, and you have the desire to perform ordinances,
live the commandments, and endure to the end.
"I feel sad when someone who has been given the Book of Mormon and had these things explained to him still refuses to read it. I feel sad that some people allow themselves to be influenced by others, refuse to investigate the book, and set it aside as something without worth, never participating in the spiritual banquet it offers. To me, this is incomprehensible. It is as if a son or a daughter, separated from a loving father, refused to read a letter from him without even opening the envelope. Those who make such a choice are like spoiled children who refuse to even taste the meal tenderly prepared for them by their loving mother." - Marcos A. Aidukaitis, "Because My Father Read The Book of Mormon," General Conference, October 2008

With so much available on the
Internet, we must carefully consider where to apply our efforts.
Satan can keep us busy, distracted, and infected by sifting through
information, much of which can be pure garbage.
One should not roam through garbage.
Listen to this guidance, provided by the scriptures: “The Spirit of
Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil;
wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which
inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent
forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know … it is
of God.” - Marcos A. Aidukaitis,

Ye Lack Wisdom,” Ensign (CR) May 2014

Joseph
Smith’s actions when he was seeking for wisdom are a perfect example of
what it means to have an honest heart. He said he wanted to know which
of the sects was true so “that [he] might know which to join.” Even
before he prayed, he was ready to act upon the answer he would receive.
We must ask in faith and with an honest heart. But that is not all. We must also believe that we will receive the revelation. We must trust the Lord and have hope in His promises. Remember what is written: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” What a wonderful promise! – Marcos A. Aidukaitis, “If Ye Lack Wisdom,” Ensign (CR) May 2014
