Continue listening for Part 2 with Dr. Aaron Franklin, Doctrine and Covenant Sections 49 through 50.

Back to the specifics of Section 50 here, one other thing I really love about the Lord's instruction is it has some correlation to what we hear in the church a lot these days, which is love, share, invite.

When we approach someone, love, share, invite with regards to bringing them to the gospel, I see some pattern of
