A New Blog

Elder Ballard has instructed us young people to use new media to be a voice for the church.  I have actually just opened a blog to talk about politics.  I decided to open a second one to discuss the church, doctrine, etc. specifically.  The name "All Wisdom's Children" refers to Jesus' remarks concerning the logic of his adversaries.  Basically, you can use seemingly sound logic to explain or argue against anything.  I think this specifically refers to the logic of those who - like the children of the market in the parable - are anxious to have things their way rather than seek the truth.  They use sophisticated arguments, but in the end ignore sound thought.

This blog takes that name because it seeks to avoid silly arguments and focus on the strait truth of the gospel.  In other words, in the midst of confusing disagreements about gospel truths from the church's detractors, I will offer my perspective on what is the bottom line.  

I also want to discuss the gospel in general.  One way or the other, it's about the bottom line and what it takes to continue our eternal progression.
