"We come to know the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ not simply by the exercise of intellect or the process of logic but by acting on what we learn. Through faith and obedience, the validity of gospel doctrine can be etched upon our hearts.
If our faith is rooted in the sandy soil of reason and logic, it will be swept away by a rising tide driven by the escalating winds of opposition. A faith founded in Jesus Christ and on the rock of revelation will endure through the fiercest storms of life. "
-Elder Kenneth JohnsonOf the Seventy
July 2008 Ensign
I really love this article in the July Ensign. It is titled "Coming to Know for Ourselves. I really suggest everyone read it. There is so much in this article that really helps us understand how to make our Faith stronger.
I hope you all have a happy day.

That is a good quote.
that exact same quote struck me when i read the article because i've often thought about how much the church truly "makes sense"...so when i read the 'sandy soil of reason and logic', it caused a lot of thought. warmly, -melanie-
