- While driving, saw a sign stating ” Standing Water Ahead.” He was able to slow down and take the road safely.
- Signs of danger
- Early warning signals in many aspects of our lives.
- We live in a day of warning.
- “Watching with all perseverance.” – Apostle Paul (Ephesians 6:18)
- Reading and talking about BoM with Children
- BoM is the complete gospel of Jesus Christ. Most Correct upon the earth, restores plain and precious things taken away from the gospel.
- Invites the 3rd member of the god head, the holy ghost. Help us get nearer to go than any other book. Discussions of gospel / principles of the BoM provide opportunity to learn from and teach our children.
- Bearing testimony of gospel truths spontaneously with children
- Knowledge we receive from the HG is a result of revelation. Need a sincere heart, real intent and faith in christ.
- Personal testimony brings responsibility and accountability. Bear testimony to their children spontaneously.
- Inviting children as gospel learners to act, not merely be acted upon.
- Inviting children to act. Our free agency makes us agents… agents to act, not to be acted upon. Builds upon BoM and testimony.
- Doing these things will give us spiritual discernment to enable us to stand as watchmen on the tower for our families.
