Come Follow Me 26: Doctrine and Covenants 67-70

Come, Follow Me Lesson 26: Doctrine and Covenants 67-70

What is profitable to you?

How do we know that the Lord desires all of His children to have access to holy writ?

Are the revelations contained in the Doctrine and Covenants worth the riches of the whole earth to you?

If we want to be able to see and know Jesus Christ with our hearts and minds, what do we need to do? (See D&C 67:10) Strip ourselves of jealousies and fears. Be humble. Continue in patience. (vs 13) Don’t let our minds turn back. Be worthy. (vs 14)

Do we allow the imperfections of our leaders to give us occasion to question the inspiration that comes from the Lord through them?

Do you have confidence that the words of the Lord's servants are the will of the Lord, the mind of the Lord and the power of God unto salvation? (see D&C 68:3-4)

When have you been moved upon to speak by the power of the Holy Ghost? (see D&C 68:3-4) How important are the things which the Lord reveals through you? Do you have confidence that the Lord can speak through you? Do you follow the Spirit’s impressions when He asks you to testify?

The Lord asks us not to be afraid and also to be of good cheer when we testify. What is the most important testimony that we can give? (see D&C 68:6) With that testimony, what are faithful Elders supposed to teach? (see D&C 68:8)

(The rights of the priesthood should descend from father to son. See D&C 18:21)

Parents are supposed to teach their children the doctrine of Christ and help them prepare for baptism. (See D&C 68:25-28) The Lord designated 8 years old. We should trust that He knows this is the appropriate age. We need to help arm them with appropriate armor, especially making available the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

How do we stay on and help others keep to the covenant path?

Important to observe Sabbath day. (D&C 68:29)

Important to work hard. (vs. 30)

Important to pray. (vs. 33)

D&C 69

How have you chosen true and faithful companions in your own life. (see vs. 1)

How is it a safeguard to both brethren to go in twos when they are delivering church funds to the bank?

D&C 70

How are we stewards over the revelations and commandments? (see vs. 3)

What particular stewardship has been assigned to you? Will you be ready to give the Lord an accounting of your stewardship? (vs. 4)

What does the Lord require of every man in his stewardship? (see vs. 9 and proceeding and following verses)

Are we giving our surplus to the Lord?

How can we have the assurance of more abundantly partaking of spiritual manifestations? (see vs. 14)

Why does the Lord ask us to give freely to His Church? (vs. 15-18)

Come Follow Me 30: Doctrine and Covenants 81-13

  Come, Follow Me Lesson 30: Doctrine and Covenants 81-83 Introduction: Look for sound principles that help you in all your relationships, particularly with your family and friends. Although D&C 81 was initially given as a revelation to help Brother Jesse Gause in his calling, because he didn’t serve faithfully, the revelation was now meant for Brother Frederick G. Williams. How are the revelations given for others during this time meant for us today? (see 1 Nephi 19:23) How important is it for us to liken the scriptures to ourselves as we read them? What does it mean to liken them to ourselves? (See D&C 82:5) D&C 81:5 What council is given here? We can think and pray about who we can help strengthen. How can we be bound to the Lord through our covenants with Him? D&C 82:10, 15 What are the Lord’s promises to us when we hearken to His words and keep His commandments? (The United Firm was later referred to as the United Order. Reading “Newel K. Whitney and ...

Come Follow Me 39: Doctrine and Covenants 106-108

Come, Follow Me Lesson 39: Doctrine and Covenants 106-108 Introduction: How do we abide in the Savior? D&C 107 shows how to organize priesthood offices and quorums. But more than that, the Lord teaches us about the priesthood order, as it was instituted in the days of Adam and restored in our day. Through the priesthood, God gives all of His children the opportunity to receive the saving ordinances of the gospel and enjoy all the spiritual blessings of the church. We can have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven and to have the heavens opened to us. D&C 107: Elder Neil L Anderson said, “The priesthood is the power and authority of God given for the salvation and blessing of all—men, women and children.” How have the ordinances of the priesthood enriched your life on earth, and how are they helping to prepare you for the magnificent promises of eternity? What things are you doing to help your more fully receive the promised blessings, and wha...

Come Follow Me 5: Doctrine and Covenants 6-9

Come, Follow Me Lesson 5: Doctrine and Covenants 6-9   I am impressed with Oliver Cowdery’s thirst for truth, not just for secular knowledge. That’s an admirable trait to have. Do I want to know the truth, or do I just want others to follow my train of thought? Do I want to share truth? Why does sharing truth have to be done by invitation, and not by force? When Oliver asked the Smith family concerning their son Joseph, the plates, and the heavenly visitations, this was something he wanted to believe. Joseph Sr. and Lucy told Oliver to ask God in prayer. Are answers received through prayer any less valid that conclusions drawn in labs? We cannot all be scientists; we cannot all be secular scholars in avenues of study; but we can all study the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and we can all ask of God if what we are learning about is true. Joseph did this; Oliver did this. They received answers directly from heaven. Revelation isn’t just for apostles and prophets; it’s fo...
