Saturday Session 2, Talk 5, David A. Bednar, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

• While driving, saw a sign stating ” Standing Water Ahead.” He was able to slow down and take the road safely.
• Signs of danger
• Early warning signals in many aspects of our lives.
• We live in a day of warning.
• “Watching with all perseverance.” – Apostle Paul (Ephesians 6:18)
  1. Reading and talking about BoM with Children
     • BoM is the complete gospel of Jesus Christ.  Most Correct upon the earth, restores plain and precious things taken away from the gospel.
     • Invites the 3rd member of the god head, the holy ghost.  Help us get nearer to go than any other book.  Discussions of gospel / principles of the BoM provide opportunity to learn from and teach our children.
  2. Bearing testimony of gospel truths spontaneously with children
     • Knowledge we receive from the HG is a result of revelation.  Need a sincere heart, real intent and faith in christ.
     • Personal testimony brings responsibility and accountability.  Bear testimony to their children spontaneously.
  3. Inviting children as gospel learners to act, not merely be acted upon.
     • Inviting children to act.  Our free agency makes us agents… agents to act, not to be acted upon.  Builds upon BoM and testimony.
     • Doing these things will give us spiritual discernment to enable us to stand as watchmen on the tower for our families.
