- Christ says to take His name and to also remember Him. How hard of a task is that really? We must also take it in respect and use it in respect.

Name- Reputation; character; that which is commonly said of a person; as a good name; a bad name.

- We are given the gospel of Jesus Christ in this day. We don't even have to work for it or to sacrifice our lives for the gospel like the people did in 1800's with the Prophet Joseph Smith so we should be more willing to sacrifice the little things we are asked to.

- It's amazing to me how much more willing people are to believe in things like the rapture or even things from history that we don't have anything but writings about and yet they don't believe in our Savior Jesus Christ who died for them and suffered that they don't have to if they would believe and repent. What it's like the scripture in Helaman 8 tat is talking about the people who were asked to look at the "brazen serpent" and yet were not willing to so so simple of a task.

- What are we willing to do for the gospel of Jesus Christ? What would I give up for it?

Blessing- Amazing example in my life to look up to.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. 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...
