"it is that same being who put it into the hearts of the people to build a tower sufficiently high that they might get to heaven." (Helaman 6:28)
What are our towers?
What things to we try to do instead of what we are supposed to do and are asked to do by the brethren?
"it is he who is the author of sin."
author- One who produces, creates, or brings into being; as, God is the author of the Universe.

The Lamanites are following God now and the Nephites and wicked. It's interesting how often they trade places. It seems like they can never both be doing the same thing. Could you imagine how different life would be if they were both following God at the same time?

"how could you have forgotten our God in the very day that he has delivered you?" (Helaman 7:20)
In what ways do we do this? Forget the Lord God after he delivers or helps us?

Pray for the strength to be better and ask the Lord what we need to improve on.

Blessing- I'm able to get strength from the scriptures every day.

The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
