How can I recognize the difference between truth and error?

During the Great Apostasy, many gospel truths were changed or lost. These truths were restored in our day through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Studying the word of God and listening to the Holy Ghost can help us recognize the difference between truths of the restored gospel and falsehoods taught by the world.

To prepare for this week's discussion in Sunday school, please read the following article by Elder Neil L. Anderson from the April 2005 General Conference: Beware the Evil Behind the Smiling Eyes.

As you read Elder Anderson's talk, take note of the counsel he gives about how to discern truth. Then think of instances in your own life when you have been faced with the choice between truth and falsehoods. Did you use any of Elder Anderson's suggestions in making the right decision?

In class we will discuss what impressed you from Elder Anderson's talk and the experiences you have had in your life in choosing right from wrong, good from evil, and truth from error.
