Hard Hearts Given Lesser Portion of the Word

Matt. 7:6; 13:11-12

“The best educated man in the world may not be able to comprehend the simple truths of the gospel because his soul is not in tune; he has not been enlightened by the Spirit of the Lord. He, therefore, fails to see and feel the significance of these principles. They cannot be seen except through the touch of the Holy Ghost. For this reason Alma explained to Zeezrom how gospel light may be known.” [Alma 12:9-11]. (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, 1:296-297)
