Inconsistency

One of things I find the most irritating and disconcerting, is inconsistency. I hate when people say one thing, and then change their mind. I hate it when you are told something will be delicious, and it ends up being disgusting. I hate it when people tell you something, and you believe them, and then you find it out it was all lies. I hate it when you get your hopes up about something, only to have them all dashed to pieces.

This has happened to me quite a lot in my life... and it's very difficult to get over it sometimes, forgive the people involved whether by accident or on purpose, and learn to have faith in things again...

But then I was thinking about the Church and how incredible it is that 1.) We know without a doubt that Church teachings are true. They are infallible and without error and we know this because Jesus promised it to us. Church teachings can't lie to us! 2.) We know that Church teachings will never change. Ever. For over 2,000 years the Church has held fast to its beliefs.

So the Church is guaranteed to be Truthful and Unchanging. It's something we can rely on to be our consistent rock in our messy inconsistent world. Pretty awesome right?
