Sunday Morning Session

We share a desire to be better than we are, as long as we live
we can be like God
we always have room to improve, to be like the savior
I'm trying to be like Jesus... be as a little child
love is the guiding principle to be like Jesus
the family, to learn how to love as he loves
selfishness is the absence of love
pray for the love to ignore weaknesses etc.
the Savior is the perfect example of persisting in love
hold on to them with your faith
feeling the love of the Savior for you
look to be like Jesus
enduring in love to keep his commandments
I want to go back to the past way of viewing the future
the pioneers made beautiful the things around them
we must have a temple in our community
made the roof like a ship
used what they knew and made it work
need a working knowledge of principles and truths
follow the prophet
fundamental skills
becoming builders of the kingdom of God
the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true
let virtue garnish they thoughts unceasingly then shall your confidence wax strong in the sight of God
the 13th article of faith
virtue traits?
'ity' virtues
the world is largely morally bankrupt
perpetuate Christ-like values
need to be a good example
integrity is the mother of many virtues
the light of a disciplined conscience
dignity, honesty, and integrity are more important than revenge and rage
don't let them become the 'lost virtues'
we are expected to act with virtue
they had safety equipment, they just chose not to use it
we learn and grow by overcoming confidence (that's what I wrote but 'conflicts' would seem more appropriate)
Heavenly Father has not left us alone
prayer, scripture, etc. = our safety equipment, it's our choice to use them or not
hold to the iron rod and press forward
they are everything
ask and it shall be given you... we always need to be ready to receive heavenly help
we need firm faith and sincere desire
real intent, really follow through on the inspiration
study it out in your mind...
know and obey the relevant teachings and commandments
established pattern
change from a natural man to a devoted disciple
spiritual discernment
look for things that are uplifting and enduring
faith, hope, charity and love
culture = something that makes things better
...to them will I reveal all my mysteries...
line upon line, precept upon precept
...to him that receiveth I will give more
the eyes of my understanding were opened
living Christ, living church, living prophet
and what did you do for someone today?
by love, serve one another
man's greatest happiness comes from losing himself in the service of others
we spend too much time with the things that don't really matter
inherit the kingdom prepared for you...
