I really enjoyed studying this week’s Sabbath School lesson, as it shows us how to appropriately handle situations where we suspect sin and apostasy.

The other day, to remind myself how everyone is fighting a battle against the adversary in this conflict, I walked into my local grocery store. However, this time I did something different.
