The Parable of the Bread Pan

This story is from Elder Dallin H. Oaks book "The Lord's Way"

I was helping my wife wash dishes on one occasion, (she would say one rare occasion.) She had baked nut bread. When I got to the pans, she said, "Don't try to wash those pans before you soak them in water. The residue is cooked on."

He goes on to say

Many of our erroneous ideas about the things of God and the procedures we should follow to accomplish his purposes are also "cooked on" by heat and pressure of worldly tradition and professional practices. Those ideas will not yield to cleansing until they have been soaked in the living water of gospel principles.



In this life we have lots of erroneous ideas that are baked on. Through love of God, Family, and Friends we can change what the world has taught us so that was can become pure and clean. - Jennifer
