These are some notes from a church meeting. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

– In the book of Mosiah king Benjamin: retain a remembrance of God and our own nothingness.
– Another prophet identifies himself as a reached man.
– Alma: God remembered his sins. He was racked with eternal torment.
– Sometimes today we can see what God expects of us and we see that there is an immense distance between what we need to be and what we are.
– If we face sins we continually submit to or fall short of our expected lives, what do we do?
– 1. Maintain a correct perspective. Some quit trying. The story of a William Tell. A governor put a hat on a pole and made the people bow to it as they passed. Some may see the commands that way. The commandments are more than that. Repent and God will receive you.
– 2. Think of the commandments as an invitation.
– 3. View the commandments of what we can become. They can show us what we can become when we follow them.
– 4. The commandments can make us more.
– 5. Hold onto Christ and the iron rod.
– 6. Man in Africa, sun Jatta the great emperor that Africa ever knew. He didn’t walk until he was six. He was promised to be the lion king. Son felt bad about being the cause of others pain. Gets an iron rod and stands with an iron rod.
– 7. 1 Nephi 15: what meaning the rod of iron: Nephi: rod of God
– 8. Helaman 5:3A Nephi: hold onto the Word of God.
– 9. Repent
– 10. Forgive others when they try to repent.
– 11. We’ve all come short of the glory of God or became what we should be. Christ does not save us from our sin or in our sins.
– 12. Christ has the power to redeem us from our sins that will enable us to become something more.
