Primary 5 - The End from the Beginning


Our wonderful class,


This week we have been studying Doctrine and Covenants 10 and 11. In these accounts we have begun to learn how our Heavenly Father truly knows the end from the beginning. 


Our Father in Heaven knows us. He knows what makes our faith grow and what kind of experiences we need to grow our faith. You see, our faith is like a plant or tree. We need the sun (Son), water (of life or scriptures) and a rich soil (soul full of desire and a body of clay). Heavenly Father knowing all our needs for our spirits to grow in faith has provided all of these things so that you and us, your teachers, can come back to the presence of Heavenly Father. 


You and we, we may never see the plates or sword of Laban or the Liahona, but seeing those things are not anywhere as important as the faith that grows in this life. We hope that in our lives our faith grows to a knowledge that the gospel is true, that Jesus lives and that He does speak to prophets but most of all, you know that the gospel is yours for your growth and well being. You are a child of God. Believe that. Heavenly Father loves you and trusts you to look for Him in all things.


Section 10 and 11 talk of wicked men with wicked designs to undo God's plan for Joseph and Book of Mormon and that applies to all of us. Each of us must exercise our faith in knowing that no matter what,  God our Heavenly Father knows what's going to happen and has made a way to increase our faith and knowledge of things not seen or heard but testified. Life is hard sometimes but if you have a desire to believe, you will see miracles in the likes you never expected. We have a testimony of these things in our lives and know you can have it too.


Study hard and pray with diligence and you will see great things meant for you. Thank you for being in our class.

Primary 133 - Preservation of your testimony and chastity

Image
source   Children, 1 Corinthians 6:13 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Paul spoke of fornication but this could also apply to things that pollute the soul. You would not eat a rotten apple. The foolish would say "But it is an apple". The same is said for sexual and spiritual purity. You cannot say you can get spiritual nourishment from corruptible things. Books, movies, and the like are no good if there is corruption in their content.  He further stated that our bodies are owned by another; a rental. We are owned by Christ if we care about our covenant of obedience. The especially for youth handbook encourages obedience, charity, chastity, repentance, and faith. When you become a teen you will be shown more on the topic but for now, strive for stern obedience. For moms and dads, he said that Mom owns Dad's chastity and vice

Primary 52 - Adam and Eve

Image
image God created our first parents. He created male and female; man and woman. When He created them they were equals. You see Heavenly Father did not create Eve from the head of Adam to be over him or by his foot to be below him. He didn't make Eve from the sternum or back to be behind or front of him. He, God, made Eve, Adam's wife, from his side, under his strong arm, near his heart. This is how we view marriage. The very symbol of marriage shows how much the need to find and be equal in marriage is. As saints, we strive to maintain the companionship that will make you a better person and at the same time will strive to encourage your spouse to be a better person.  Many years from now you will be dating or preparing for marriage. Brothers and sisters, look for a companion that will strengthen you and make you smile. Being in love is not just a feeling, it's a commitment. This commitment will require trust, respect, compassion, charity, repentence, and forgive

Primary 128 - Pricked or Cut

Image
I mage Children,  The Holy Ghost can touch us in one of two ways. Either we are pricked to do good or cut by the good word. The Greeks have a word for this. Hodos means "In the way". Is the Savior in the way of our success or are we doing things "In the Savior's way seeking His success?" The role of a disciple.  When the church has grown we have been given responsibilities callings and keys according to our ability and spiritual potential.  We should be eagerly engaged in the work we are called to do to lighten the load of those who are called to do more such as Bishops or Stake Presidents. Visiting the widowed and orphaned can be done by them but they ask many to be ministers to the many to bear the load. Don't just see the vision but catch it. When you catch the vision, it has changed you to do more and be actively engaged in the Lord's work.  Stephen and Phillip who were members of the seventy showed it in their actions.  Alma, Paul, Josep
