application

Moroni didn’t write on his cloak because people didn’t know what they should be doing. They knew but were not living it. Knowing the principles means nothing if you don't apply it.

Alma 46:12–13

Alma 46:36

“President Boyd K. Packer has a question he often asks when we have made a presentation or given some sort of exhortation to one another in the Twelve. He looks up as if to say, “Are you through?” And then says to the speaker (and, by implication, to the rest of the group), “Therefore, what?” 

“Therefore, what?” I think that is what the Savior answered day in and day out as an inseparable element of His teaching and preaching. I’ve tried to suggest that. These sermons and exhortations were to no avail if the actual lives of His disciples did not change.”

Therefore, What?
