Show our faith

Be Christlike.

Faith is our shield and protection.

Witness only comes after the trial of our faith.

If with face trials with faith we will have courage. But, if we fear we obviously do not have faith.

I have thought before and still think it is easier to listen with your heart when someone speaks an unfamiliar language.

The best way to serve God's children is to be the best you you can be.

We will be GLAD to endure things (like flaming logs and mashed potatoes) if we think of the result. One day we will see God and be accountable.

It seems like people notice that the horrible things happen that end up causing the best thing that help them.

Served a mission mainly out of love. Love for the savior evolved into a realization that the savior loved him and wanted to find a way to repay.

If Ye love me, keep my commandments.

Obedience to one shows them love.

***It seems like the no matter what you do it will be enough. So, just do what you can and pay the rest in faith.

Never heard of anyone loosing out after paying tithing.

If you lack wisdom - conference talk.

The words were guessed were a part of a greater lesson, seemed to be about the garden of Eden.

Truth - what do we think of when we hear that word. It can come from lots of places.

Korean use of a word that means ours. Reminds me of my mother's lingering comment when she came to see Lena in the hospital. She said, "I love how you refer to things as ours and not yours."

We are commanded to be obedient.

Obedience is itself a act of faith.

A missionary did not meet many who would hear their message, but JW would, and the missionaries struggled with the choice to go meet with them.

The Savior knows you well, although, I do not.

Charity is important to have for yourself as well as others.

If we believe we will recieve what is best from the giver of all who also knows best.

If you love the people you serve it will be as if serving God.

Are tithes paid by other faiths?

The best and complete answers are found in True to the Faith.

Most religions ask but only Mormons are alone in actually doing it.

Pilots lived in a place to.increase the tugging enough to get a building and then, they were transferred.

Confession of a struggle with tithing immediately she was asked to teach our lesson.

Blessings do arise when we faithfully pay our tithing.

Cheerfully giving is significantly important.

Missionaries do better in poor areas. Poor denotes humble...

Story about taking actual livestock to church office and got money.

Object lesson with skittles and allow on child to eat until almost gone then ask them to give!

Story of lady who was struggling to decide to pay her tithing, then remembered what she had actually already covenanted to do, and it was easier although results could be perilous.

Seek is an action word...

Mango tree was desired, but kept growing plum trees from plum seeds. Story of woman who was selling seeds and the guy who never even planted them, but claimed the promise to be false that claimed they were garunteed to grow. This is likened to the scriptures.

****You must be prepared to act upon the answer you get.

Our truth comes through the filter of imperfect people.

It reminds me of the story of the guys who find bits of truth of Elephant.

Among truths we must find the ones important to us.

It is appropriate for earth life, that we only see parts at a time because we cannot understand the entirety and fullness of things.

Observing what fruit comes from our seeds.
Try it out, it will show, we will have evidence needed.
We then get personal revelation, and to learn about what to do.
Sometimes we do not pray about a thing because we feared the answer.

****We must be prepared to act upon the answer we get.
