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.

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.

Tithing, service, callings, motherhood..............I should be cheerfully doing it.

'A time to prepare' by Elder Ian Arden
When time is wisely used, it's value is immeasurable. The Lord and our families should be at the top of the list. Love is really spelled T-I-M-E.
Poor use of time is a close cousin of idleness.
I need to use my time wisely. Tidy, kids, study, prayer, errands, gym etc. I don't want to miss being with my kids.

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.
