NEW TESTAMENT


Chapter 34 of the Manual

3 dangers that threaten the church are:
#1 Flattery of prominent men in the world
#2 False educational ideas
#3 Sexual impurity
Paul's 3rd mission was the longest.  Four years and the most distance covered.
Ephesus was the head quarters for 3 of the 4 year mission.  One of his focuses was collecting funds for the poor in Jerusalem.  Women can prophesy, receive visions, entertain angels, enjoy the gifts of the spirit and qualify with their husbands for full exaltation in the highest heaven.
Paul wrote the letters to Corinth around Mar/Apr AD 57.
Truth only comes from the Spirit.

ENSIGN

August 2011 'Taking His name upon me'

We must see ourselves as His.  We will put Him first in our lives.  We will want what he wants rather than what we want or what the world teaches us to want.

'Family'

Coming to earth as a member of a family is part of the plan of Salvation. 
We need to be having couple and family prayer, FHE, scripture study, attending church and families activities together.

DAUGHTERS IN MY KINGDOM

Chapter 9

"You are the guardians of the hearth.  You are the bearers of the children.  You are they who nurture them and establish within them the habits of their lives.  No other work reaches so close to divinity as does the nurturing of the sons and daughters of God"
"Mothers are the heart and soul of any family"

This really hit home to me as I read this.  Especially the 'Guardian of the Hearth' part.
I sat there and just pondered what that truly means as a mother these days and felt the spirit so strong that I need to be the defender for my children when it comes to our home.
I need to be willing to fight for my children's innocence as well as their purity.
I need to do all I can to give them the kind of guidelines they need to live a faith filled life with a strong sense of self as well as Jesus being their saviour.
I'd like this saying make into a necklace or braclet or some kind've fridge magnet.
Hmmmmmm
I need to get on it.
