Primary 71 - Deuteronomy


Class, 

Moses repeated, clarified, and emphasized the commandments. He told Israel that they were to keep the commandments, remember the commandments and have them at the center of their lives by having them written in their hearts and minds. They were to be part of our work, our play, and where we live. The gospel should be part of us all of the time. The Lord is there for us every day of the week 24/7 and ready to open the heavens unto us. We know we don’t just want blessings on Sunday, one day a week. He wants daily spiritual instruction. He, our Father in Heaven, gave them a temple and law and instructions to make them a peculiar people; the same thing He has given us.

Deuteronomy was written to emphasize the Law of God. Clarification was given to them, as the Doctrine and Covenants have been given to us, by a prophet we revere. Each time a gospel principle has been lost, our dear Father fills in the lost pieces to help us. We have prophets as our ancient ancestors and we are so grateful for what past prophets have said as Moses did. Heavenly Father will give us revelation if we are constantly and honestly seeking it.

We hope that you take the time to learn more about the gospel and work hard to know Jesus because that is what the scriptures should lead us to. It is through Jesus that we can return to our Father in heaven. The more we learn and share the gospel the clear the path and the easier it is to see God's hand in our lives. 

We pray that the Holy Ghost will touch your hearts and minds. That you will be able to wrestle out the gospel, fervently pray to have your hearts and minds opened to listen and recognize the truth for yourselves. It is our testimonies that support us in our trials. Stay close to the Lord, He is always there with open arms ready to receive us. We love you guys.

Challenges 
1) Read Joshua 1-8, 23-24
2) Think about a gospel topic you want to learn more about. Write it down and before you start your scripture study review it and pray for understanding. Record what you have learned and review it at the end of the week.

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
