Since this blog is primarily kept for my future posterity, let me suggest a sequence of scripture to study during your own time when you have a few minutes.
During Sacrament Meeting there was a quartet that sang, "Love at Home" and I realized again that this isn't just a nice song, this is teaching an exalting principle. We need to figure out how to be filled with love and charity towards our own family and all men.
Below is a beautiful trail of scripture and study that touched my life.
Start:
1. 3 Nephi 11:29. Isn't it interesting that when Christ visits the people on this continent, this is one of the very first principles He chooses to teach. How prevalent is contention in our society?
2. The Tenth Parable by Denver Snuffer. There are several major learning points in that parable, but none greater (for me) that the first couple of pages. What starts the whole testing process is the fact that there is harmony and love in his home.
3. D&C 121:34 - 43. Here the Lord again reminds us that charity and love are more than just a good idea, they are one of the KEY principles of exaltation. As you read, think about this, "many are called, but FEW are chosen". Chosen for what? Why are most not "chosen"? It should cause us to ponder.
4. Moroni 7:44-48. This is a beautiful outline of Charity and what it is. Moroni reminds us again that charity is greater than them all and that we should pray unto the Father with all our energy of heart, that we may be filled with this love.
End or Continue on your own inspired study :)
This was a simple study I had the other day while sitting by the fire-pit looking at the mountains. The gospel is a beautiful and wonderful thing.
