Discipleship/The message

The end of Mat:6 The Lord is telling us to calm down and stop worrying because there is nothing that you can do with worrying. I hope I can find a way to take this counsel.

I really appreciate the temptations of Satan for the Lord and how the very same temptations apply to us even today. I love how the Savior's method of repelling each temptation is to cleave to scriptures and exercise godly self discipline in doing so.

Premortal Life

Moses 4:3 The Lord says “by the power of mine only begotten, I caused that he (satan) should be cast down. This is interesting. Why does he use the power of his “Only Begotten?” Why didn’t he just do it? Another thing that is interesting is how in Abraham where the Lord talks about looking among the intelligences, and sees the noble and great ones. He says “these will I make my rulers.” Because he could see that they were noble and great. God also says that there must be opposition in all things.

The elements are eternal It’s interesting how he calls us the light of truth. What is the light of truth?? he elect are chosen even “before the foundation of the world,” how is this so? Does that mean that the rest are condemned from the beginning? Elder Nelson mentions, “the purpose of the plan is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” So my question is- Is the plan successful? If only a few will make it to the Celestial Kingdom, how successful is the plan? Then if you think like a business person- how do we boost the numbers? Service. Example. Love. If we as his children were all more focused on these things among his children who do not know, I think we would see miracles. But the plan is eternal life and immortality, not exaltation. So the plan is successful. ...

Keys-Mathew 16:22-24, 17:20

I like this scripture because of the Saviors reaction. His severe firm response suggests of his desire to not go as Peter says, but his willingness to do it anyway. https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2004/10/faith-and-keys?lang=eng Mark1:31-   The power of intention? Mark 6:34 I like how Jesus inspire of learning that his cousin has been brutally killed still has the emotion to have compassion on the crowd.
