Let Plans be Known

“Let your plans be closely investigated; and with earnest prayer commit your case to him who knoweth all things. Council together. Let not the whisperings of your own mind or of other minds close the door of your heart against the counsel of the Lord’s servants.”-Ibid., No. 7, 48, 49.COOD 118.1

“Committees of counsel, as far as possible, should let the people understand their plans, that the judgment of the church may sustain their efforts. Many of the church-members are prudent, and have many other excellent qualities of mind. It is proper that their wisdom should be exercised, that others may be aroused in reference to the great question to be considered. Many may be awakened to the fact that they should have deeper insight into the work of God.”-Ibid., No. 3, 49, 50.COOD 118.2
