Making the evidence fit.

[_Home Teacher]

Good morning brothers and sisters. Today's lesson is on how to make all the evidence fit together neatly. The great thing about the gospel is we know it is true, even perfectly true. Therefore, the evidence will fit perfectly. Sometimes members struggle when so called evidence from the wordly scholars appears to contradict the gospel truths. However, if you trust in the lord, these seeming contradictions will melt away.

Today's lesson is an object lesson. You will need a square peg, round hole, and big hammer. The square peg is symbolic of the gospel truths. The round hole symbolizes the scientific evidence from worldly scholars. The hammer represents the Lord.

1) Attempt to push the square peg through the round hole without the hammer. No matter how much you strain, you cannot make it fit.
2) Now, take the hammer and pound the square peg into the round hole. If you hit the peg enough times and hard enough it will eventually go in.



In conclusion, as the object lesson illustrates, without the Lord we are powerless to make the evidence fit. However, with the Lord's strength, we can make it all fit together.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Nice lesson. I'm inspired.

It seems joe took this lesson to heart and used the Lord to pound his square peg in as many round holes as he could.

You know I'm really trying to be a believing Mormon now, but comments like that still literally make me LOL (even at work).
