We Really Can Ascend to Mount Zion

We need to believe in angels and miracles and the promises of the holy priesthood. We need to believe in the gift of the Holy Ghost, the influence of good families and friends, and the power of the pure love of Christ. We need to believe in revelation and prophets, seers, and revelators and President Russell M. Nelson. We need to believe that with prayer and pleading and personal righteousness, we really can ascend to “Mount Zion, … the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.”

Elder Holland

I remember when Jeffrey R Holland was called as an Apostle. There was something that didn’t sit right with me. There was some seed of distrust (a wedge) in my heart with regard to him. For many years, I would hear his messages and I would believe him, but not 100% trust him because this wedge in my heart persisted.
