Agency and Elder Bednar.

.

The word agency is bandied about quite a bit when one is making choices that are contrary to what they should. Elder Bednar came to our stake last month when our stake presidency was reorganized. Let me just say that what he had to say on the matter was very timely. To quote Elder Bednar, "Agency is not to do what you want when you will." In the instance where one has made sacred covenants to be a witness of Jesus Christ and to do His will, your agency is then to do just that. To do anything to the contrary of that once you have made those covenants is to your detriment. Therefore, yes, we do have free agency. It does not mean you can do whatever you want. I love Elder Bednar and his forthrightness. He, in my opinion is the Dr. Phil of apostles. Telling it like it is.
