Are We Ever Like Gehazi?

2 Kings 5 : 9-14

---

... the prophet of God, has counseled us on so many important things. Are we doing them? Or do we say:

• “Oh, yes, he is the Lord’s prophet, but I don’t want to go on a mission.”
• “I don’t want to get married.”
• “I don’t have time to read the Book of Mormon every day. I’m too busy with my work or studies.”
• “We don’t have time for family prayer or home evening.”
• “But I need to sleep in on Sunday after the big activity. I cannot go to church.”
• “But Sunday is the only day I have to shop because of my work and studies.”...

Could we take the servant of Elisha as a type for us when we look at riches, worldly things, and the wisdom of men instead of following the prophets? Will we and our descendants be out of the Church or unclean forever more because of disobedience?
