Welcome to part two with Dr. Matt Richardson, the book of Ephesians.

I remember talking with the missionary once we were talking about,

are we doing any good? Sometimes they list our message and I said,

yes, you're doing great. Could you imagine if people just adhered to simple principles we taught,

not that restored truths, but what would happen to this world?

What would it look like if everyone kept the word of wisdom?

Just the basic principles of the word of wisdom would have changed the world.

How many marriages would be saved? How many cases of abuse would be eliminated?

Because we just get rid of the chemical addictions.

It would be a different world just based on that.

And we all know that the word of wisdom is not simply a physical health code.

Yes, it has a temporal aspect of it, because it must,

because the soul is the body and the spirit. They impact each other.

But we do good when we teach these little principles of how different would the world be

if husbands truly loved their wives?

I'm not even talking about having the benefit of the covenant yet.

And would never do anything that would harm them,

because they get into a we mentality than a me mentality.

Because if I hurt her or she hurts him, then we're hurting us.

It's every time we damage us.

But what do profiteers and revelators say if we had any counsel on marriage and family?

Oh, just president Nelson alone.
