June 6- Doctrine & Covenants 63:1-5 Jun 06, 2021

Show notes

In these verses you can really tell that the Lord is not happy with the actions of some of the saints! But His anger helps us understand and identify an important false doctrine that is being spread in the world today. The world would have us believe that our behavior and actions don't matter to God, that right and wrong is based on what feels right and wrong to us. This simple isn't true. God gives us commandments because he is interested in our growth. However, His commandments are given for us to live by, not as a standard to judge others by.

June 5- Doctrine & Covenants 62:1 Jun 05, 2021

Show notes

In 62:1 and in 61:39 the Lord teaches us that in moments of temptation or weakness we can call upon Him as our Savior because He is our Advocate and our Redeemer! By virtue of His suffering and atonement, in ANY circumstance we can call upon Him for relief!

June 4- Doctrine & Covenants 61:36 Jun 04, 2021

Show notes

Here in the middle of massive struggles and trials, the Lord tells the saints to "Be of good cheer." This statement in times of heartbreak is not the Saviors way of telling us to buck up and be glad. Rather it is an invitation to turn to Him and find peace.

June 3- Doctrine & Covenants 61:1-2 Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

In times of trial and despair it is my belief that if we will take time to turn to the Lord and Hear Him, we can hear and know just as Joseph Smith and these elders knew, that Christ "has all power," is "from everlasting to everlasting, even Alpha and Omega."

June 2- Doctrine Covenants 60:14 & 16 Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

In these verses we learn about 2 distinct patterns of the Lord. A pattern of Christ-like ministering, and His pattern of revelation. The more we seek to understand His patterns the more we are able to turn our hearts to Him and become more like Him.

June 1- Doctrine & Covenants 60:7 Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

I love the last sentence of this verse! "For I am able to make your holy, and your sins are forgiven you." Do we sometimes underestimate or underappreciate all that the Lord is able to do for us by virtue of His grace? His atonement isn't just about helping us to return to God's presence clean, we were clean before we left! His atonement, His grace is able to return us clean yes, but also holy, more like Him!

May 31- Doctrine & Covenants 60:5 May 31, 2021

Show notes

I love this principle SO MUCH! At least 5 times in the Doctrine and Covenants the Lord tells His people, "it mattereth not." This doesn't mean that God is apathetic to our questions, rather it means that God is far more interested in growing His people through allowing them to use their agency than He is on making sure we all make the absolute perfect decision every time. The Lord's response "it mattereth not," Doesn't show God's disinterest, rather, it shows how intent He is on making us celestial.

May 30- Doctrine & Covenants 60:1-3 May 30, 2021

Show notes

I absolutely love what these verses can teach us about testimonies. 1st that they are a gift that comes from God in combination with our efforts. But that if we aren't continuously doin the work of testimony, that we are in risk of losing what we have ben given. I love this because so often we think that the efforts that someone makes 10 or 20 years ago, like serving a mission or getting married in the temple should fortify them and keep their testimonies burning bright. What these verses teach us is that is is far more about what we are doing in the gospel of Jesus Christ, than it is about what we have done.

May 29- Doctrine & Covenants 59:21-22 May 29, 2021

Show notes

God's ultimate concern is for our well being and our growth. By asking something of us and asking our obedience to His commandments he can fulfill both of those desires for us. As we surrender our agency to Him to obey His commandments our hearts are changed AND He is able to bless us as a result. Really when it comes down to it there are very few things we have to give God that are really our own. Our agency, and our gratitude. As we humble ourselves and show our gratitude to Him, we draw closer to Him.

May 28- Doctrine & Covenants 59:15-16 May 28, 2021

Show notes

As the Lord is continuing to give us commandments in section 59, I am continuing to see how most of His commandments are means to bless us and help us draw nearer to Him. In these verses the Lord commands that the saints live the law of the fast, but if we understand the blessing that are promised as we live the law of the fast, then missing out on a few meals can hardly be considered a sacrifice.
