NEW TESTAMENT


2nd Corinthians 11-13

13:1  .....by the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses shall every word be established.
The second epistle of the Corinth was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia.
In chapter 12 the man Paul refers to is himself.
I need to bear my trials well, one day I'll understand.
Suffering or 'school of experience' as John Taylor liked to put it.
Why trials?  So we can learn to place our dependance on God and trust Him.

BOOK OF MORMON

Helaman 14

5 more years and then Jesus will come.
There'll be great lights from heaven.  It'll be light all night.  A new star will rise when he's born.  Some will fall to the earth.
Signs of His death will be that the sun, moon and starts will be darkened and there'll be no light for three days until He's risen from the dead.
There'll be thunder and lightnings for hours.  Earthquakes, tempests, mountains made low, valley's made into mountains, cities gone, highways broken up, graves opened and saints appearing to many.
We're free to act.
We're free to choose good or evil.

CONFERENCE

'It is better to look up'  by Elder Carl B Cook

If we can 'look up' to God for help we won't feel overwhelmed with the burdens of life.  We must have the faith to look up and the courage to follow His direction.
Looking u p is a metaphor for remembering Christ.
As we remember Him and trust in His power, we receive strength through His Atonement.
The Lord leads us through prophets and apostles as well as feelings after a heart felt prayer, repentance, keeping the commandments and the Holy Ghost.
We must act upon direction received.
