Back again with more Book of Mormon Reading
Day 18
Read: 2 Nephi Chapters 26 thur 27
mark 2 Nephi 26:8
Looking for the path to safety in the counsel of prophets makes sense to those with strong faith...the choice not to take prophetic counsel changes the very ground upon which we stand. It becomes more dangerous. The failure to take prophetic counsel lessens our power to take inspired counsel in the future. The best time to have decided to help Noah build the ark was the first time he asked. Each time he asked after that, each failure to respond whould have lessened sensitivity to the Spirit. And so each time his request would have seemed more foolish, until the rain came. And then it was too late. - Elder Henry B Ering
How does following the prophet keep you safe?
Day 19
Read 2 Nephi Chapters 28 thru 30
Mark: 2 Nephi 28:15
"There are at least three dangers that threaten the Church within, and the authorities need to awaken to the fact that the people should be warned unceasingly against them. As I see these, they are flattery of prominent men in the world, false educational ideas and sexual impurity.
-President Joseph F Smith
What are you doing to avoid being deceived?
Day 20
Read: 2 Nephi 31 - Jacob 1
Mark: 2 Nephi 31:10-13, 20
"When we understand our baptismal covenant and the gift of the Holy Ghost, it will change our lives and will establish our total allegiance to the kingdom of God. When temptations come our way, if we will listen, the Holy Ghost will remind us that we have promised to remember our Savior and obey the commandments of God." -Elder Robert D Hales
Sometimes we take our basptism for granted. What do you do to remember and increase your appreciation for your baptism.?

mark: 2 Nephi 15-20-21
"Today's popular enterainment often makes what is evil and wrong look enjoyable and right. Let us remember the Lord's counsel: "Woe unto them that call eveil good and good evil."

-Joseph Smith
What part do you play in these prophecies?

The nature of the Atonement and its effects is so infinite, so unfathonable, and so profound that it lies beyond the knowledge and comprehension of mortal man. I am profoundly grateful for the principle of saving grace...The overwhelming message of the Atonement is the perfect love the Savior has for each and all of us. It is a love which is full of mercy, patience, grace, equity, long-suffering, and above all, forgiving."
-President James E Faust

I can see a generation of youth who will "stand...in holy places, and be not moved" Sister Elaine S Dalton
