Primary 19 - Choice and Accountability

quotesgram.com

Our dear brothers and sisters,

Let us remind you that the Lord is with you and will keep you safe if you stay close to His Spirit your constant companion, the Holy Ghost. 

This week we want to emphasize the importance of accountability for temporal and spiritual things. We are responsible for what we do in this life and in the life to come. No one else will bear our sins if we do not constantly repent and work hard to be better in easy times and know where to turn in hard times.


Heavenly Father has given us all a mind to think and a body to do His work. Above it all a sensitive spirit is in each of us that is driven to listen to when ever the Spirit speaks.

On top of great spirits each of you are he has given you all talents and gifts and with your accountability, you have the ability and opportunity to change lives.

Jesus when he was going to be hung on the cross asked Peter if he (Peter) loved Him. The reply was an astounded perhaps confused yes as they had been together for three years. The Lord asked it over and over, each time he wanted to realize the importance.  He wanted Peter, his friend and an Apostle, to use his talents and inspiration to strengthen others. We hope that you will do just that. You are incredible. Please use those things God gave you and show accountability for it. Be proud of who you are and share it with those that the Spirit asks you to. 

We hope again remember that God loves us, see you tomorrow.

Brothers Keller and Bingham

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
