Sometimes we sleepwalk on the path of discipleship. We ought to be excited to even consider the way truths have been opened up to us and we have things that man never had before.
When we teach true Gospel principles some part of it will feel familiar to others regardless of what they had been instructed.
"What shall we give in return for so much?" Apply this to the glorious light and all things our Father, who is God, has given us.
Look up..."Those who reject this glad message...
When he looked into his grandpas eyes, he saw his suffering.
Turn from natural man and love one another which was,not the natural way of man to live, he looks out for number 1.
We will suffer less if we love more, and love must start in the home. I had heard it said that the home is a workshop for love, do not let the moments slip by, even if it is hard, love and trust.
God's power comes from his love.
Family prayer. Scripture study, and council iis most important. FHE is not lecture from mom time.
We do not have the spirit when we raise our vpices in love.
Family life sounds so incredible if lived right. Children loving their parents and vice versa, and best of all loving each other.
Choice to follow the Lord must be your own.
Service is such a blessing!
Teach children to love one another, sounds like they ought to serve one another.
Love The Lord more and suffer less.
Prayer is the necessary precursor of faith.
1)pray
2)listen
3)obey
It is equally important to be able to discern an answer, as knowing how to ask a question properly.
It is sooo extremely important to put our will inline with our Heavenly Father's.
"Be still and know that I am God."
Joseph Smith was a prophet. He stands as a testimony to us that if we lack knowledge we can know the truth of all things.
There is alot of erroneous and false information about Joseph Smith, instead consider the fruit of this man as a prophet.
Marriage and family is so much more significant because Joseph was a prophet.
Craig ------- bears an unwavering testimony of Joseph Smith.
3 times he was warned of a thing, but he did not listen, he prayed when he could have died, and was heard and saved by someone who actually did listen and heeded the responses.
When God could have said, I tried to save you, he still helped. And it causes gratitude.
God knows things we never say, but he sees them through eyes of love.
When people express happiness in our abilities, it makes such a great difference. When we are compared and judged negatively it causes so much damage.
If you want true, real, critique ask God, he wants us to "make it". The Lord wants to help us.
Sin harms, but it can be forgiven, no matter how terrible. With sincere repentance, NOT rationalize or rebellion.
Rebellion is rejecting God, and why Satan was sent to prison.
Guilt is like the battery of a car it can get things going, but cannot sustain movement.
God can send your words to the heart of another.
Conversion of another has it's own time table, which is not likely yours.
You come to the table, nit empty handed, but with technology and social media. :)
It is not a coincidence that you are born where you are because the gospel meeds to be preached to every tongue and people.
What one views as a stumbling block to one, meaning a halt to progress, is not to another.
"Christianity did not defeat paganism it adopted it." - Durant
Christianity is seen as too simple or plain, and not as complex as other doctrine, and so many will be decieved by not seeing stumbling blocks.
Looking beyond the mark is a stumbling block.
You are never too young to seek and teceive a testimony of the book of Mormon, the keystone of our religion. If you accept it as truth, then all of the gospel is.
Stumbling blocks may be turned into stepping stones.
A power will flow into your life when you read this book, and it may seem unrelated.
Godly Love is not unconditional.
Blessings are not entitled, but graciously given.
Helen Keller is a parable.
Looking beyond the mark in trying to find those things which are not meant to be understood thereby ignoring the things that ought to be studied for our profit and learning.
We are not supposed to understand everytjing yet, in order to learn hope.
Be ambitious for Christ...
Elder Cohen, was nearing his physical limit, this reminds me of the danish girl on 17 miracles who did all that was "humanly possible".
He knew that he would need to ride a bike and coukd have refused it, but he was "ambitious".
There are so many ways to share the gospel that were not abailable before.
1)pray for the desire
2)be a faithful liver of gospel
3)pray to know what we will do. This requires a real intent, or commitment to act.
Do not take the mantle of judging others fit to receive the word upon ourselves, it is tge good shepherd's call.
A time others are ready to learn might not coincide with what we are ready to teach.
We want people to accept Jesus not the church, many are ansolutely not interested in an organized religon whereas they are surely interested in the gospel.
