Read: 3 Nephi: 6-8
Mark: 3 Nephi 6:12-14
"I testify that no one of us is less treasured or cheriched of God than another. I testify that He loves each of us-insecurities, anxieties, self image and all. He doesn't measure our talents or our looks, He doesn;t measure our professions or our possessions. He cheers on every runner, calling out that the race is against sin, not against each other." - Elder Jeffrey R Holland

Read 3 Nephi 9-10
mark: 3 Nephi 9:13-15
"An atonement was made. Ever and always it offers amnesty from transgressions and from death if we will but repent. Repentance is the excape clause in it all. Repentance is the key with which we can unlock the prison from unside. We hold that key with our hands...Humbly I lay claim upon the atonement of Christ. I find no shame in kneeling down in worship of our Father and His son.l: - President boyd K Packer

Let us make the temple, with temple worship and temple covenants and temple marriage, our ulitmate earhtly goal and the supreme mortal experience."

Mark: 3 Nephi 15:21,24
"Aren't we rather prone to see the limitations and weaknesses of our neighbors? Yet that is contrary in the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ...If we have the spirit of fault finding...that never comes as the result of the companionship of the Spirit of our Heavenly Father and is always harmful" - President George Albert Smith

Mark: 3 Nephi 18:6-7, 11
"We are commanded to rpent of our sins and to come to the Lord with a broken heart and a contrite spirit and partake of the sacrament in compliance with its covenants. When we renew our baptismal covenants in this way, the Lord nrenews the cleansing effect of our baptism. In this way we are made clean and can always have His Spirit to be with us. THe importance of this is evident in the Lord;s commandment tht we partake of the sacrament each week."
-Elder Dallin H Oaks
How can taking the sacrament each week help you to be just as clean as when you were baptized.?

"Every person who embraces the gospel becomes of the house of Israel..THe great majority of those who become members of the Church are literal descendants of Abraham through Ephraim, son of Joseph. Those who are not literal descendants of Abraham and Israel must become such and when they are baptized and confirmed they are grafted into the tree and are entitled to all the rights and privileges as heirs." =President Jospeh Fielding Smith
What blessings are promised to you because you are of the house of Israel?

Mark: 3 Nephi 24:7-10
"I can't list all the ways that blessings will come from obedience in this principle (of tithing), but I tesify many will come in spiritual ways that go well beyound economics...I express my deepest gratitude for every blessing of the gospel of Jesus Christ, especially that greatest of all gifts, the exemplary life and atoning death of God's Only Begotten Son. I know I can never repay heaven for any of this benevolence, but, there are many ways I need to try to show my thankfulness. one of those ways is in the payment oftithes and freewill offerings."
-Elder Jeffrey R Holland
What blessings to you receive from paying tithing?
