What I Learned in Church Today (28th July 2013)
What I learned in Church today (Basildon Ward sacrament meeting, Southend Ward gospel principles and Relief Society):
- Life is like a long car journey. We know where we want to go, we know a few places we'd like to stop on the way, but we can't know the traffic, weather or state of the roads. When we come to difficult parts it helps to focus on the final destination.
- We should open our hearts if we are to receive all The Lord wants to give us.
- History turns on small hinges and our lives hinge on small decisions.
- Missionary work not only helps to grow the church, but to shrink it too. As missionaries are sent to far-off places they make connections and help ensure that every member of the church knows someone who knows someone...
- There are blessings the Lord reserves only for those who serve Him on a full-time basis. One of these is the gift of tongues.
- The Melchizedek Priesthood was originally called "The Holy Priesthood after the Son of God", but ancient peoples tried to avoid using the name of God too often due to respect and reverence, so instead started calling the priesthood after the name of one of the greatest men to hold it.
- It was Abraham's obedience which led to him being given the great blessing of becoming the father of God's chosen nation. (Genesis 22:18)
