21 That Which Is of God Is Light

Image
That Which Is of God Is Light That Which Is of God Is Light I especially like the truths taught in section 50, because there certainly are deceivers all throughout the world, but the Lord will reclaim those who are His who have been deceived, and the deceivers will be destroyed. That is wonderful news. The atonement of Jesus Christ is so far-reaching and its infinite. Don’t allow yourself to be bogged down with a small space of time. Trust in the Lord’s love for you and those you love. Doctrine and Covenants 50:44  Jesus is our good Shepherd. He is in relentless pursuit of us all. 44  Wherefore, I am in your midst, and I am the good shepherd, and the stone of Israel. He that buildeth upon this rock shall never fall. Doctrine and Covenants 50:2  Truth and righteousness will ultimately stop the false spirits that have gone through the land deceiving. Jesus will cut the work short in righteousness.   When we come to the Lord’s true chu...

20 Seek Ye Earnestly the Best Gifts

Seek Ye Earnestly the Best Gifts Seek Ye Earnestly the Best Gifts Are you thankful for the resources that are so readily available to you? 1 Corinthians 12:1–11 Gifts of the Spirit Doctrine and Covenants 46:9 Spiritual manifestations are gifts from a loving Heavenly Father to those who love Him and seek to keep His commandments. For Kids I can record my history. Doctrine and Covenants 47:1, 3 The Lord wanted John Whitmer to write a Church History. Aren’t you thankful for all the people who have recorded histories that we can now read in the scriptures? What are some of your favorite scripture stories? Do you keep you own history at home? Do you record the important things that happen in your life and how you feel about them? You can keep your own diary or journal, which is your own history. You can ask you mom or dad to help you if you think you’re not ready to do it on your own quite yet. Let the children all have a chance to tell you about what happened...

The Promises … Shall Be Fulfilled https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/come-follow-me-for-home-and-church-doctrine-and-covenants-2025/19-doctrine-and-covenants-45?lang=eng   The saints were joyful to receive D&C 45. verses 3–5 : How does it make you feel to know that Jesus is pleading your cause before our Father? Vs 9 Also, He sent His everlasting covenant to bind us to Him and to one another. Because of Him, my parents and their families joined the church. Vs 34 We know that He is coming to the earth again. This gives me so much hope, even though He also warns us that there will be troubling times. Because of His light, we will see the way. 7 For verily I say unto you that I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and the life of the world—a light that shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not. Oh Be Joyful in the Lord! Jesus Christ is my Advocate with the Father. Doctrine and Covenants 45:1–5 ...

18 My Law to Govern My Church

My Law to Govern My Church My Law to Govern My Church The quick growth of the Church presented unifying problems for the members then as it does now. There are people for so many backgrounds with varying levels of comprehension and discipleship. The Lord expects us all to love one another and to care for and be patient with each other. Acts 4:32–37 Are we working to have all things in common? The Apostles of this latter-day work also testify with great power of the resurrected Lord. Are we living the gospel in its most simple basic manner of caring for the poor and needy, in so much that there will be no poor among us? How can we do that? When the Lord brings again Zion, surely that kind of heart and attitude to work and selflessness will be required. D&C 42 ( verse 59 ) is the Lord’s law to govern His Church.   We still individually have a lot to learn. Doctrine and Covenants 42:61 61  If thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revela...
