Daily Thought:
" As we seek the things of God, we must humble ourselves before Him, remembering that it is by His grace that we receive them, and focus our thoughts and prayers, our faith and our desires, even all the energy of our hearts that we might receive light and understanding directly from a loving Heavenly Father."
- Craig C. Christopherson.
"The book of Isaiah contains numerous prophecies that seem to have multiple fulfillment...the fact that many of these prophecies can have multiple meanings underscores the importance of seeking revelation from the Holy Ghost to help us interpret them." - Elder Dallin H. Oaks.
Scriptures:
NOTE: The same questions are being asked for the different set of scriptures because Dawn divided the room into two separate groups.
2nd Nephi 12:5-12, 17-19; 13:8-9:
- What attitudes and practices reflect the sins of the people?
* Idolatry.
* Pride/ haughtiness.
* Lack of forgiveness for others.
- What will happen to these people as a consequence of their sins?
* Forced to be humble.
* Lord will destroy all idols.
* Hide in fear.

2nd Nephi 13:16-26:
- What attitudes and practices reflect the sins of the people?
* Being in the world but not of the world.
* Listening to soothsayers/ fortunetellers.
* Lots of adornments.
- What will happen to these people as a consequence of their sins?
* Darkness.
* God will not forgive them.
* Everything they love will be destroyed.

- How do we guard against worldliness?
Be careful to not mislabel the words of God.
Example: "Evil be good; good be evil."
Temples:
NOTE: Whenever I think of the Temple being set upon a hill, I think of it as the Mormon definition for John Winthrop's "City Upon A Hill".
