Decide word study

1828 definition:

DECI'DE, verb intransitive To determine; to form a definite opinion; to come to a conclusion.

We cannot decide how far resistance is lawful or practicable.

The court decided in favor of the defendant.

That's cool cause it kinda tells us how deciding is so important. If we don't decide on something than we'll never come to a conclusion.

Jim Staley video notes: Judging, that goes with decision. Tet means decision, like choice between good and evil. If you don't let go of your anger it will destroy you.

Other study: Heavenly Father expects us to use our knowledge, experiments, and faith to guide our own decisions.                   Counsel with the Lord in all our doings. If we are not sure what the right decision is pray!

Good, better, best. Dallin H. Oaks: Just because some thing is good is not a sufficient reason for doing it. The things better than good are what we should focas on. Don't be in to much extra curricular activity.

How will focas help me make the right decisions? Cause if we really focas on something it should come clear what the right thing to do is!

Armor of God Nov week 3

Find something in your life that you want to change. Teasing. 
As you take read the chapter, take note of what you need to do to help you make this change. Find something spiritual to replace it. If I tease confess it.
What does it have to do with remembrance? We need to remember to put Christ and Heavenly Father in the center of our lives so we can repent more easily. 

Word study on remember.

The biblical concept of remembrance:

We need to remember Christ in all things.

We need to remember his commandments. 

1828 definition.  

1. To have in the mind an idea which had been in the mind before, and which recurs to the mind without effort.

We are said to remember any thing, when the idea of it arises in the mind with the consciousness that we have had this idea before.

We should remember our good things we have been taght.

The Holy Ghost can help is remember the Savior. 

Notes on To always remember him (elder D. Todd Christopherson.)

We should strip everything out of our lives and put it back together with the Savior as the priority. Frequent prayer and scripture study help us remember Christ. Remembering the judgement day to come can help us make right choices.

Just cause we have forgotten something in the past does not make it gone

Word study on charity!

How does charity help me be focased on things that matter most? Because it helps me be focused on others. And love God. 

What I thought was cool from the 1828 definition: I liked how it said in a theological sense, it includes supreme love to God, and universal good will to men it's cool because charity is also a love for God and if we love God we will want to do the universal good will to men!

How do I develop it? By practicing! 

Hebrew letter gimmel video notes:

Gimmel=camel=rise, pride, to lift up, to go after, the generous rich man.

This connects to gimmel like pride not the bad pride but the good pride like proud of your son. Or the camel rises up for the rich generous man. 

Gimmel=generosity or charity! 

Faith is what makes the father happy.

Other things about charity:

Charity is the pure love of Christ. 

Moroni 7:46 says Wherfore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherfore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail.

Cool! so charity will never fail so we should do it!

1Peter 4:8 says And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover a multitude of sins.

It says have fervent charity. I think that true charity is not just giving say 100 bucks to a poor person so you can brag about it to a friend true charity is doing it cause you actually care about them.

Neil L Anderson said if their must be hope their also must be charity.

So hope and charity go together.

 

Charity quote!

Moroni 7:46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail— 

Why I liked it: I liked I cause it says charity never faileth, and I do something that will never fail!!

Charity means to me after all my study's and everything to love God and serve others with the intent to help them and not to boast. I think I can work on it by putting others before myself.

How cameras work!

The lens of a camera takes beams of light that bounce of a object and redirect them to come together and form a real image like a magnifying glass. That's how it focusses.  

Armor of God nov week 1

My strategy of defense is to remember the Savior by my side and on the cross for our sins. 

How did it help me this week? Well it helped me feel his love for me so it made it easier to disregard temptations.

How else can focus be used to defend myself from the adversary? Well if I am focused on good things all the time I'll have the sprit with me so that will make it harder for Saten.
