What does it profit?

This post is part of the General Conference Odyssey. This week covers the Priesthood session of the April 2007 conference.

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin asked some pointed questions.

How do we know if we are wise or foolish? When we hear inspired counsel, we obey. That is the test of wise or foolish. What does it profit us if we listen to wise counsel and do not heed the words? Of what use is experience if we do not learn from it? What good are the scriptures if we do not cherish the words and incorporate them into our lives?

Having had a wonderful General Conference weekend earlier this month these questions seem pertinent and timely.
