It's amazing how quickly people forget God and the blessing He has and is giving them and turn to evil. You would think that Satan gave them some kind of reward or something to follow him. I mean he does give you temporary pleasure but we should all know that by this time after years of watching his power and influence on others.

"Moroni,...had been preparing the minds of the people to be faithful unto the Lord their God."
-What a great leader, we all need to prepare our minds in all things in order to accept God's will and to better understand the Spirit and what we are being told. If we go to church or listen to conference whether it is stake or general if we don't prepare our minds we won't get out of it what we need to or could have. Even for sacrament meeting it is important so that we can get revelation for current questions and worries.

Blessing- God knows me and helps me prepare for what is coming ahead.

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...
