Primary 64 - The Crescendo


Brothers and sisters, 

Moses (whose name means son of none unlike Ra-Moses I.e. Ramsey who was the son of Ra) when finally taught, gained courage and faith was ready to free Israel came to Pharoh knowing that each time he asked to worship the Lord in the wilderness wa not going to be let go. The challenge was that Egypt's gods (who were fake) were in direct competition with the real God of all creation. Or in other words, the vain imagination and vanity and pride of wicked men were standing in the way of righteous doing.

Moses had to challenge the artificial and worldly power that was being held over Israel. At first, the priests could mimic the miracles as they were small and they were outside with hail, lice, frogs, flies, and cattle sickness, but that was not enough. Then it was boils, darkness, and the loss of fields. Still, it was not enough. The Lord who didn't want to do all the curses, finally took the lives of the firstborn. Again it was not without warning. Those that headed instructions from the the prophet and thus the Lord. Their (Egypts and Isaraels) first born was spared as Abraham's son was.

Heavenly Father wants us to worship Him. Each of us has to be ready to leave sin with our staff in hand and remember the bitterness of sin. We have, at times, our false gods that lure us to stay in wickedness; to stay in our Egypt. We need to take this week to follow the prophet out of our darkness and follow the pillar of light to salvation.

This day pray to know what is holding you back. Pray to know what direction the Savior wants you to take. Moses gained the trust of Israel, let M. Russell Nelson gain your trust. Trust the prophet, brothers, and sisters. Sometime in the future, we will have new challenges like the plagues of Egypt but if we are prepared we shall not fear.

Again we love you guys! Enjoy Conference.

Brother 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
