What I learned in church today (4th August 2013)
What I learned in church today:
- People can - and do - praise God even for things they don't fully understand, but the more we learn about His plans and His doctrine the more we will praise Him. It is therefore our duty to listen, learn and seek.
- The church is strong, vibrant and growing in Australia.
- "And if it so be that you should labour all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father." (Doctrine & Covenants 18:15) That joy grows exponentially as someone you helped bring to The Lord goes on to bring others. (Viv Prentice)
- Jesus asked that the cup might be taken from Him (Matthew 26:39) but accepted that God's will be done. We too face trials, and may ask God to spare us them, but how much more should we say, "Thy will be done".
- One of the major differences between the LDS church and other traditions is that we see conversion as a two-way covenant. We covenant to take Jesus' name upon us and always remember and follow Him, and we receive salvation and eternal life in return. Those who break their covenant by rejecting Christ and turning their backs on the gospel lose their salvation and eternal life.
