Summary: This is an audio recording of Mormon Apostle M. Russell Ballard’s 9/13/2015 Utah South Area Talk. Deseret News coverage: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865636709/Elder-Ballard-speaks-to-Utah-South-Area.html Transcript: https://www.lds.org/prophets-and-apostles/unto-all-the-world/to-the-saints-in-the-utah-south-area?lang=eng Here is an excerpt, talking about those that leave the church & why(a clue..SATAN of course): When someone stops doing these simple but essential things, they cut themselves from the well of living water and allow Satan to muddle their thinking. Sin and guilt cloud the mind—leading them to deny past inspiration and revelation and causing a “de-conversion” from the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ. One thing that is constantly on my mind is knowing that individuals who don’t stay focused on the simple doctrine and gospel of Christ will eventually listen to false teachers and self-declared prophets and adopt worldly philosophies. These alternative voices include: -The allure of prideful wealth -Recreation and entertainment that can take away from the goodness of the gospel -Not observing the Sabbath day -Viewing podcasts and Internet sites that raise questions and doubt without being intellectually honest and that do not adequately and honestly present the Lord’s perspective.
