LDS Perfect Days Podcast

Your ability, your destiny, to be a chosen, joint heir with Jesus Christ is directly tied to your willingness and ability to put away your traditions. When we embrace traditions which deviate from the doctrines and teachings found in the Standard Works -- no matter how long they've been around -- we make ourselves vulnerable to Satan stealing away our light. This loss of light (which comes by aligning with false traditions) catalyzes our dwindling into ignorance and ultimately unbelief, which therefore disqualifies us from being joint heirs with Jesus. Conversely, if we do the opposite, we entitle ourselves to far greater manifestations of God: By teaching man-made traditions as the word of God, people turn the profane into the sacred.
