NEW TESTAMENT

1st Corinthians 1-3

2:9-14 This is all about the Spirit.
3:16&17 This is all about the Word of Wisdom

BOOK OF MORMON

Helaman 1

40th year and the Nephites were rumbling.  Pahoran died and his 3 sons wanted to take the judgment seat over, so this caused a 3 way division.  Pahoran was chosen and Pacumeni was fine with it but Paanchi was not.  He was put to death because he wanted to cause a rebellion.
Kishkumen was sent by the mob and killed Pahoran.
He was never found out.  Pacumeni was the new Governor.
In the 41st year the Lamanites wanted to fight.
Coriantumur did take over Zarahemla and slayed Pacumeni.
He also wanted to take over Bountiful but Moroniah caught wind of it and sent Lehi's army to stop them.
Coriantumur died and the Lamanites were surrounded and surrendered.
This was the end of the 41st year.
Man a lot happened.
How exhausting.

August 2011 'Love at home' Thomas S Monson

Nothing can fully take the place of the blessed relationship of family life.
Give your child a compliment and hug. 
Say 'I love you' more.
Always express thanks.
Call upon your Heavenly Father for help as you care for your childrens needs each day and as you deal with the challenges which inevitably come with parenthood.  You need more than your own wisdom in rearing them.
May our families and homes be filled with love: love of each other, love of the gospel, love of our fellowman, and love of our Saviour.  As a result, heaven will be a little closer here on earth.
May we make of our homes sanctuaries to which our family members will ever want to return.

NEW TESTAMENT

Manual Chapter 33

Those cast out are sons of perdition.  They chose evil by choice after having had the light.  While dwelling in the presence of God they knowingly entered into their rebellion.
Satan has power to produce false signs and wonders.
Satan has power over the elements.
Those spirits who followed Satan have these same capacities in lesser degrees.
The power of the devil is limited and the power of God is unlimited.
'If ye are prepared ye shall not fear' D&C 38:30
Great hailstorm D&C 29:16
Overflowing scourge D&C 45
Wars  D&C 63
Famines, earthquakes, pestilences Matt 24
How do we prepare?  Keep the commandments.
Look to the prophets for their words.
We need a years supply of food.  Grow a garden and have fruit trees.

Moroni writes to Pahoran again quite upset.  Why isn't he helping?

DAUGHTERS IN MY KINGDOM

Chapter 6

1992 was 150 years of the Relief Society and there was a worldwide service done.
Also Relief society influenced sisters to read all over the world.
'Your every need shall be fulfilled now, and in the eternities; every neglet will be erased; every abuse will be corrected.  All of this can come to you, and come quickly, when you devote yourself to Relief Society'
Elder Packer.
Pages 99-101 is about charity of the soul to others given by Thomas Monson.
It's just beautiful.
