NEW TESTAMENT
Romans 3 and 4
3 Since we all sin, no-one can be justified by works alone. Some intervening power must bridge the gap. Jesus Christ was the answer. He's our grace. God's blessing are worth more than a man's good works could ever earn.
4 No man can earn salvation on his own. We need to pay the price of faith. Faith that includes enduring works of righteousness. We need to conform our lives to gospel standards. Only was possible to have this kind of faith.
We are justified of faith and works, through grace.
BOOK OF MORMON
3 Nephi 1 (Son of Nephi who was the son of Helaman)
91st year. 600 years since Lehi left.
Nephi left and gave his son, Nephi the brass plates and all the other records.
Nephi was never seen again.
92nd year more signs were happening but the wicked thought the time had past and started mocking the righteous.
The wicked set aside a day to kill all the righteous for the sign of the full light day with no night was not happening.
The the sign happened and some of the wicked fell to the earth cause they knew they were wrong.
More part of the people were converted to the Lord even though Satan worked hard.
The Gadianton Robbers still caused havoc.
The rising generation of the Lamanites started not believing and some Nephites took off to join the Gadianton robbers.

NEW TESTAMENT
Manual Chapter 36
The Lord gives us gifts of the Spirit so we may bless, encourage and strengthen one another in love.
Spiritual gifts are made active by Charity.
We need to want to share them with others.
When we do not have the love that Christ had the spiritual gifts are meaningless.
We have to love people.
My biggest weakness is my temper. I need to start asking for help with it.
BOOK OF MORMON
Helaman 8
Gadianton leaders were upset, but they wanted the others in the crowd to be upset as well so didn't touch Nephi. There was mixed feelings in the crowd.
He prophesies of the death of the judge by his brother who both belonged to the Gadianton Robbers.

NEW TESTAMENT
1Corinthians 4-6
Manual Chapter 35
Paul's 3rd mission was set to order the branches of the church under his care. In 3 years he went through Taurus mountains, past lakes of Pisidia to Ephesus on Aegean coast ship to Troas and Philippi onto Thessalonia and down the Macedonian Peninsula to Corinth.
He was visited by Abel, Enoch and taught by them.
Corinth had a worldwide reputation in the ancient world for it's immorality. Located close to two major ports it was subject to many vices.
Corinth was the site of the famous temple of Aphrodite Venus. 1000's of 'preistessess' who were simply prostitutes.
This is why Paul talks so much about being clean.
If we make it in righteousness we're better than Angels who haven't progressed that far yet.
BOOK OF MORMON
Helaman 3
46th year some people left Zarahemla cause they were mad.
Because there wasn't much timber they became great at working with cement. They planted trees. Did a lot of shipping of wood to each other.
Journals were passed down amongst Nephites.
Helaman did a great job as judge. Helaman had 2 sons. Nephi was the eldest and Lehi was the next.
49th year Gadianton was working his evil but the government didn't know.
1000's joined the church that year. Even 10's of 1000's.
53rd year Helaman died. Nephi became the judge and was a righteous judge just like his Dad.

August 2011 'One Stalwart Pioneer'
Sara Elvira Eriksen was born in Norway.
She heard the gospel and it sounded familiar even though it was new. Just like my parents story.
Her father told her not to go to the church. She went anyway.
When she was 17 she asked for her present to be baptism into the church. Her Dad said no.
He forced her to leave home but then his heart softened and she went back home after a week.
Finally she was allowed to be baptized.
Then after three more years of working on her father he was finally baptized and well as he mum, youngest brother, sister and her sister's husband.
'Dear Mum and Dad'
When our kids are young adults we still need to help and parent them. This article was letters from young adults to their parents, thanking them for their examples.
DAUGHTERS IN MY KINGDOM
Chapter 9
The creation provided a place where families could live.
The fall provided a way for the family to grow.
The Atonement allows for the family to be sealed together eternally.
The Lord will open a way. Even when we can't see any possible way.
This means a lot to me right now and really hit home since Dru can't find full time work.
I know I need to trust the Lord and trust that he will help us to find a way, even though I can't really see a way at the moment.
We need to speak wisdom to our kids and avoid fault finding.
I also need to always speak well of Dru infront of the children.
I can do better with fault finding in my kids. I don't think I'm bad but I'm not 100% and I know I shouldn't. Sometimes I say 'You're being lazy' and I need to change that kind've talk.
I think I do a good job of always speaking well of Dru to the children.
Sometimes Dru and I have 'words' infront of the kids and we shouldn't. I need to leave it till they're in bed or work out a way to simply 'talk' about it without getting fired up.
Easier said than done ;)

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.
BOOK OF MORMON
Helaman 2
Helaman filled the judgment seat.
Gadiantan is introduced. He becomes the leader of the Kishkumen group, promising power and leadership if he's put in power.
Kishkumen went to kill Helaman but was killed himself.
When Gadianton realized that Kishkumen had been gone too long he lead his group of followers a secret way out of the city so they couldn't be killed.
End of the 42nd year.

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.
