Does salt have an expiration date? Dr. Scott Woodward explains how and why salt symbolizes eternity and how our covenants make us the "salt of the earth," as we discuss Sections 102 and 103--the instructions regarding membership councils, and the Saints' attempt to redeem Zion. Section 102 will become your favorite meeting minutes as Hank Smith, John Bytheway, and Dr. Woodward discuss one of the seven parables in the Doctrine and Covenants.
