Notes from yesterday's R.S. Lesson:


4 Things That Will Wreck Your Life
& The 4 Truths That Will Save It!
-lesson based on a talk given by Sheri Dew- 



Members of the church all around the world- Men with the Priesthood and Latter Day Women of God
have profound influence
You have a profound influence!

Who are we influencing?
How are we influencing them?
What are we influencing others to do?
Who are we allowing to influence us?

The 4 things that are sure to get in your way of fulfilling your mission:
#1.  Squabble- get the women of the church to pick on each other, judge each other & squabble with each other.
#2.  Confuse us about who we are, about our very identity, our gender identity, our identity as daughters and women of God, identity as compared to the identity of men.
#3.  Keep us from understanding the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ by making sure we never discover what the Savior did for us and therefore what he will do for us.
#4.  Make sure we never learn how to receive personal revelation.

Pretty sure if all 4 of these could be done- it would ruin the life missions of any woman of the church.

Every sister deserves to feel accepted, needed, valued and loved. 
 and every one of us is in a position to make sure that happens.

The thing that happens opposite of criticizing people is the outpouring of love.

1.  Love one another, encourage, uplift and help one another.
2.  Seek to know and believe the truth of who we are.
3.  Gain a personal testimony of Jesus Christ.
4.  Learn the language of revelation and better hear the voice of the Lord by diligently seeking and by asking in our prayers to discern that voice.





If we do those 4 things there is a stunning probability that we will do what we came here to do.
