Resolve to Act

In light of current events and the tradition of making a New Year's resolution, I propose a new resolution. This resolution can and will change the world. Resolve to Act. Resolve not to sit on the sidelines. When your government is making a decision, let them know what you want. If you can vote for your representatives, do it. Decide which will represent you the best and vote for them.
If you do nothing, then you change nothing. If you want the world to be better, then you need to do your part. Remember that government was created to maintain order and serve the citizens. You are the boss. Tell your employees (government) what you want them to do.

The Reason for the Season (1 Nephi 19)

I have been very busy lately, so my posts have been few and far between. I apologize to those that have been faithfully following my posts. I will try to keep updating the blog every week, but at very least I will update every other week.
This week I want to reflect on the reason for Christmas and the purpose of the scriptures. 1 Nephi 19 explains the purpose of the Book of Mormon. "And I, Nephi, have written these things unto my people, that perhaps I might persuade them that they would remember the Lord their Redeemer." That is the reason for the scriptures, to teach us and remind us of our Savior.
Nephi even tells why this reminder is needed. "And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it ... because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men."
The purpose of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of the Redeemer and remind us of what He did for us. Think about what you have been given by your Brother from Bethlehem and find a way to share His love with those around you.

Humility (1 Nephi 15-16)

When Lehi told his family of his dream his sons had two different reactions. Nephi prayed to the Lord to understand what his father had taught. Laman and Lemuel argued about the vision and its meaning. Nephi heard them arguing and asked what they were arguing about. They replied that they did not understand their father's words and were trying to understand his teachings. Nephi asked them if they had asked God for the meaning and they answered, "We have not; for the Lord maketh no such thing known unto us."
They would not humble themselves enough to ask the Lord, so they did not have the knowledge that Nephi had. Nephi began to teach them and they replied to his teaching with, "Thou hast declared unto us hard things, more than we are able to bear." Nephi rebuked them and said that if they followed the commandments, then his teachings would not be hard.
Later Nephi broke his fine steel bow while hunting and the family was left without a weapon for hunting. As they suffered from lack of food, the family complained. Even Lehi began to complain to the Lord because of their trials. Nephi did not complain, but found wood and straight sticks and made a bow and arrows. Then he went to his father, Lehi, and asked where he should hunt.
Even though Lehi had complained against the Lord, Nephi knew that Lehi was the prophet of God chosen to lead the group. Nephi was humble enough to ask his father for guidance. Lehi was chastened by the Lord, but was shown where to find food. Because Nephi and Lehi humbled themselves, they were able to feed the family.
If we want the blessings of heaven, we need to humble ourselves enough to ask God for understanding of his teachings and to follow his commandments and his prophets.

Motivation (1 Nephi 13)

After Nephi saw the vision that his father saw, he also was shown things that were to come. Nephi saw many things, but one of the things he saw was a great church that did all kinds of evil deeds. This church killed tortured, lied to, and enslaved those who would follow Christ. Nephi was told by an angel,

"Behold the gold, and the silver, and the silks, and the scarlets, and the fine-twined linen, and the precious clothing, and the harlots, are the desires of this great and abominable church.
"And also for the praise of the world do they destroy the saints of God, and bring them down to captivity."

All these evils came due to the love of riches and worldly fame. These are two of the tools the devil uses to convince us to do his will. How much do these two tools influence you? Can money or peer-pressure convince you to do things you would not otherwise do? Are you motivated by good or by evil influences?

The Tree of Life (1 Nephi 8-11)

While in the wilderness, Lehi had a vision in which he saw a tree, "whose fruit was desirable to make one happy." He saw a river running past the tree with a path along the river leading to the tree. He also saw an iron rod along the path and a large building on the other side of the river.

Lehi saw many on the path to the tree when a mist of darkness arose and many lost their way. Others held to the iron rod and reached the tree. When they reached the tree many heard voices from those in the spacious building mocking them and were ashamed. They walked away from the tree and became lost.

Nephi later saw the same dream and explained each part:

• The fruit of the tree - The love of God
• The iron rod - The word of God, or scriptures
• The spacious building - The World, or popular culture
• The mist of darkness - Temptations

Where are you in Lehi's Vision? Are you holding to the iron rod? Are you lost in the mist? Are you under the tree, eating the fruit? Are you in the spacious building? Where do you want to be? What can you do to reach your destination?

Character (1 Nephi 7)

After Nephi and his brothers retrieved the brass plates, Lehi was commanded to send them back to Jerusalem to get the family of a man named Ishmael. The Lord commanded that Ishmael should come with Lehi's family so that Lehi's sons and Ishmael's daughters could marry. I think that it would be hard to convince Ishmael. Imagine: "Ishmael, you need to bring your family with us so that we can marry your daughters and live in the desert."

I don't know what they said to Ishmael, but I think the key lays in the phrase, "we did gain favor in the sight of Ishmael." I find that impressive. Ishmael saw by the character of Nephi and his brothers that he could trust them. The story continues, "the Lord did soften the heart of Ishmael, and also his household, insomuch that they took their journey with us down into the wilderness."

Is my character such that I could convince someone with no proof but my word? Is your character that strong?

Determination

After Lehi fled from Jerusalem with his family he was commanded to have his sons go back and get a record called the brass plates. These plates had the writings of the prophets from Moses to Isaiah as well as other historical writings. It was very important to have these plates so that Lehi's descendants would have this information. The problem lies in the fact that the plates were owned by a wicked man named Laban.
After the first attempt to ask Laban for the plates, Laban tried to kill the oldest brother Laman. Laman wanted to give up, but Nephi, the youngest brother, said, "As the Lord liveth, and as we live, we will not go down unto our father in the wilderness until we have accomplished the thing which the Lord hath commanded us." He was determined to get the plates or die trying. The four brothers gathered their abandoned riches and tried to buy the plates from Laban. Laban stole their wealth and tried again to kill them.
After facing death twice, Laman was understandably upset, but he blamed his troubles on his father and on Nephi and Sam, his younger brothers. He and Lemuel started to beat Nephi and Sam with a rod until an angel appeared and told them that the Lord would deliver Laban into their hands.
This time Nephi went into the city alone without a plan. He followed the Spirit and was led near the house of Laban. He found Laban in a drunken sleep on the ground and was commanded to kill Laban with his own sword. He resisted the commandment, but finally relented. Then, he dressed in Laban's clothes and in the dark of the night found a servant of Laban to lead him to the brass plates.
It took three attempts and two brushes with death, but Nephi's determination allowed him to obey the commandments he had received. Do you have the determination that Nephi had to do what is right or die trying?

Priorities and Sacrifice (1 Nephi 2)

At the beginning of the Book of Mormon, we learn about a prophet named Lehi. He preached repentance to the people of Jerusalem and they wanted to kill himfor it. In the second chapter the Lord commanded Lehi to "take his family anddepart into the wilderness." The record written by Lehi's son, Nephi, tell usthat they left everything, their home and their riches, in order to follow theLord's commandment.
After leaving everything behind in order to save his family, Lehi praisesthe Lord. I imagine that most people would react to the loss of everything theway the Lehi's oldest sons reacted. Laman and Lemuel, the two oldest sons, complained that their father was a fool and that there was no reason toleave their home. They didn't have the right outlook.
Which is more important to you? Your belongings or your family and beliefs? Laman and Lemuel mourned the loss of their belongings, while Lehi praised thesafety of his family and the chance to serve his God. Which would be moreimportant to you?

For Our Times

This post is to explain the title "For Our Times." I am a religious man and when I read the scriptures I try to apply what I read. I believe that many of the prophets wrote with the last days in mind. They hoped that their records would be passed from generation to generation and would help us understand the nature of God. They also wanted us to learn from the mistakes made by those who went before us.
This blog is going to be my study journal. As I read the scriptures, I plan to choose topics of interest in the chapters I study and write about those topics. I value the comments that others may give regarding these topics. Maybe one of you understands something differently than I do. Feel free to comment.
I will start with the Book of Mormon because it is easy to understand and was specifically written to help us in these last days. When I finish studying the Book of Mormon, I plan to begin in the Old Testament.
For those unfamiliar with the Book of Mormon, it is a book written by the prophets that lived on the American Continents anciently. They testified of Christ and His mission and taught His gospel with beautiful simplicity.

The Scout Law

For the past three months I've written about a variety of topics that will help individuals improve themselves. These twelve topics are related to the twelve points of the Scout Law. While Scouts take an oath of honor to keep the Scout Law, the twelve points can be applied by anyone.
A scout is:
Trustworthy (Honesty and Integrity, August 10, 2009),
Loyal (My Loyalties, July 20, 2009),
Helpful (The Better Choice, July 8, 2009),
Friendly (What Kind of Friend Am I?, September 13, 2009),
Courteous (Be Polite, August 24, 2009),
Kind (Kindness, September 1, 2009),
Obedient (Obedience, August 4, 2009),
Cheerful (Optimism, September 7, 2009),
Thrifty (Simplify Life, June 29, 2009),
Brave (Joseph's Courage, June 14, 2009),
Clean (Cleaning Up the World, July 27, 2009),
Reverent (Respect, August 16, 2009)
A person with these qualities will be respected and they will find many opportunities to help those around them. Which of these attributes do you have? Which attributes do you need to improve? Decide which attribute you want to have more of, think of ways to improve that attribute in yourself, and make goals to help you do so. If we want to improve the world, we first need to improve ourselves.

What Kind of Friend Am I?

The friends that we choose affect who we are. If most of my friends smoke, then I am more likely to smoke as well. If most of my friends are very religious, then they will encourage me, through words or actions, to be religious as well. If I carefully choose the people that I spend the most time with, then I will choose which influence is the largest in my life.
Looking at it differently, we see that not only do our friends affect us, but we also affect our friends. I have friends that ran cross-country, partially because I ran cross-country and they saw that I enjoyed it. I convinced several of my friends to join Academic Decathlon, a team that competes by taking ten academic tests. I changed my friends, just as they changed me.
What kinds of changes do I cause? What kinds of changes will you cause? Are they positive? Are you helping your friends become better people? If not, what can you do to become a better friend?

Optimism

When reporting on world events, the news stations show wars, murders, crimes, and natural disasters in incredible amounts. Some would say that I am a pessimist, because I believe that the world will continue to worsen. But I try to be optimistic and work towards improving the world, or at least slow the decline. We are in difficult times, but I believe that we can face to the challenges before us and overcome them if we work hard enough. A story I once heard explains optimism very well.
A man had two daughters with very different attitudes. One saw only the good in life, and the other saw only the bad. One night, while they were sleeping, the father left a surprise in the room of each girl to see how they would react. The next morning, the pessimistic daughter screamed and the father went to help her. The pony the father had left was standing in the middle of the room and the daughter was hiding under her blankets. The father asked what was wrong and she said, “I'm afraid it will bite me!”
The father calmed his child then went to see what his second daughter was doing. He found her in the middle of the manure pile that he had left in her room, searching for something. He asked what she was doing and she replied, “Can't you see all this manure, Father? There must be a pony here somewhere!”
Do we complain even when there is no problem? Or do we find the good in even the worst of situations?

Kindness

A kind deed often leaves a deep impression. Kindness is shown by our words and our actions. A kind person will help others even when doing so might be uncomfortable or difficult. A man named James Talmage was an incredible example of kindness when he helped a family stricken with diphtheria.

When he arrived, James found one toddler already dead and two others who were in agony from the disease. He immediately went to work, cleaning the untidy house, preparing the young body for burial, cleaning and providing for the other sick children, spending the entire day doing so. He came back the next morning to find that one more of the children had died during the night. A third child was still suffering terribly. He wrote in his journal: “She clung to my neck, ofttimes coughing [germs] on my face and clothing, … yet I could not put her from me. During the half hour immediately preceding her death, I walked the floor with the little creature in my arms. She died in agony at 10 a.m.” The three children had all departed within the space of 24 hours. He then assisted the family with the burial arrangements and spoke at their graveside services. This he did all for a family of strangers. (Joseph B. Wirthlin, “The Virtue of Kindness,” Liahona, May 2005, 26–28)

We may not get opportunities to perform large services like James Talmage did, but there are things we can do to show kindness to those around us. Even small acts of kindness may leave a lasting influence on those you help. Make the world a better place. Find something this week that you can do to show kindness to someone around you.

Be Polite

When I was younger, I occasionally participated in fund-raising activities for school or scouting. For one such activity I was selling tickets to an event with coupons attached. I received permission from a store to sell the tickets by the front door. Not everyone bought tickets and during the first hour I was rejected several times. When I became discouraged, my father gave me a key piece of advice. He said that no matter what they said or how rude they were, I should always smile and thank the people for their time.
I tried his advice, and didn't see much of a difference in the results for a while. Then a woman that had passed me as she entered the store come back out and asked to buy a ticket because she was impressed by my attitude. Because of a simple smile and thank you, she wanted to buy a ticket.
Imagine what the world would be like if everyone tried to be a little more polite, even to strangers.

Respect

The word respect is used to describe honor or esteem for a person or organization that we regard as important or greater than ourselves. Using that definition, anyone important deserves respect. Until it is proven that there exists a truly unimportant person, it is fairly safe to assume that everyone deserves some measure of respect.
How can respect be shown to everyone? Would you curse at a person that you respect? Would you steal from a person you respect? Would you speak badly about someone you respect? If you respect everyone, then you will treat everyone well.
The use of the word everyone includes everyone, even you. Do you respect yourself? Do you think kind things about yourself, or tear yourself down? Do you take care of your body? Do you take care of your emotional well being? Showing respect to others does not require disrespecting yourself. Everyone is important. YOU are important.
Respect is a reflective gift. The more you give it, the more likely you are to get it.

Honesty and Integrity

It is doubtful that anyone in today's world needs to be told that lies are common and truly honest people in short supply. Honesty is a lost virtue in today's world. I remember a story of a business-man who reminded a colleage of this principle.

Some 30 years ago, while working in the corporate world, some business associates and I were passing through O’Hare Airport in Chicago, Illinois. One of these men had just sold his company for tens of millions of dollars—in other words, he was not poor.
As we were passing a newspaper vending machine, this individual put a quarter in the machine, opened the door to the stack of papers inside the machine, and began dispensing unpaid-for newspapers to each of us. When he handed me a newspaper, I put a quarter in the machine and, trying not to offend but to make a point, jokingly said, “Jim, for 25 cents I can maintain my integrity. A dollar, questionable, but 25 cents—no, not for 25 cents.” (Richard C. Edgley, “Three Towels and a 25-Cent Newspaper,” http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=47b10d034ceae010VgnVCM100000176f620a&vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD, paragraphs 8-9)

How much is your integrity worth? 25 cents? Are you honest with others? Are you honest with yourself? Would you tell the truth, even if no one would know you're lying? Would you tell the truth, even when pressured to lie? Would your friends trust you with their keys? With their money? What can you do to become more honest?

Obedience

When the United States broke free from England, they created the Continental Congress. Congress was the governing body and controlled the military. Several times during the war between the United States and England, Congress gave instructions to the military that were disastrous. They advanced generals that did not know how to lead and they failed to send enough equipment to the army. General George Washington was often frustrated with the inability of Congress to understand military needs, but he still followed the orders they gave. He understood the source of his authority, so he obeyed.
When the Continental Army camped for the winter at Valley Forge they were ordered by congress to camp in a location 2 miles from the nearest creek. Washington could have easily moved the army two miles to a better location, but he obeyed his instructions from Congress. General Washington obeyed all of the orders from Congress to the best of his ability and became known as a great leader even when faced with difficulties.
Many people believe that breaking rules allows more freedom. There is an example that shows the error in that thinking. If a man decides to break the law by stealing then he could be arrested and placed in jail. Does jail give him more freedom? On the other hand, if this man follows the laws, he will be able to go wherever he likes and do whatever he wants, as long as it is legal. He still has to follow rules, but not as many rules as a prisoner in jail.
Whenever we obey a just law, we gain more freedom. Whenever we break a law, we lose freedom. What rule do you have a hard time keeping? Is the punishment worth the small amount of pleasure that breaking the rule might bring? What do you get by keeping the rule? Rule breaking may bring short-lived pleasure, but following laws and rules will lead us to happiness.

Cleaning Up the World

When Elvis Presley performed, he was criticized for wiggling his hips. Many people found his dancing inappropriate and dirty. Imagine what they would say if they saw performances by some of today's popular bands and actors. Today our culture accepts much more than it did even a few decades ago. This raises the question, where is the line between appropriate and inappropriate?
How do we decide what is worthwhile in a culture where swearing is commonplace, games are brutally violent, and television is filled with sex? We can't change everything by ourselves, but we can change ourselves. If every person decided to be a little better, avoid shows with sex, stop playing violent games, swear less, then the world would be that much better. If no one plays the violent games, then game programmers will stop making them so violent. If no one watches dirty movies, then producers will stop paying to make them. One person may not be able to change everything, but the little things we do have a domino effect on those around us.
Ask yourself, “Would I want to do in real life what I'm doing in this game?” “Are the lyrics in this song words that I want in my vocabulary?” “Would I feel comfortable showing this movie to children?” Simple decisions like these will help us reduce the violence and filth in the world.

My Loyalties

Almost every day we see examples of people that are loyal to something. Some to their families or friends, some to their nations, some to their religions, and some only to themselves. It seems to be in our natures. A desire to be part of a group is one influence that draws youth to gangs. They start to feel a sense of common loyalty within the group. Unfortunately, many groups like this lead good people down the wrong path.
This raises a question: To whom should we be loyal? The simplest answer is to be loyal to good causes. The better the cause, the more loyalty it deserves. Everyone must decide individually which people and which causes deserve their loyalty. I personally place my greatest loyalty to the following groups and individuals in the order given.

God – I am a religious person who believes in God and worships Him as the ruler of the universe. As such, I try to give everything I am to God and follow his commandments.
Family – The family is the building block of society. Without strong families, society crumbles. This can easily been seen in the world around us. I love my family and would sacrifice anything for them.
Nation – Governments are created to help, guide, and protect their citizens. While I may personally disagree with policies made by bodies of government, I still work to obey the law and protect my government and my nation from influences that would destroy them.
Self – I use this term to refer to my character. My character is one of the things I value most. I work hard to improve myself and become a better person.

Others may order their list of priorities differently or include other things in their list, but that is something that every person must consider and decide for themselves. Think about your loyalties and make your own list. What is most important to you?

The Better Choice

I want to talk about service. Before I start I want to praise the work and efforts of the various relief aid organizations that bless the lives of thousands, if not millions, every year. The service given by these organizations improves the world immensely.
On a more personal level I wonder if we as individuals do enough to serve those around us. Donations made to service organizations can bless many people, but is that all we can really do? I know I can do more than that and I think that everyone can.
Every day there are things we can do to serve others. Some of the ideas that I'm going to list may seem too little to make a difference, but little things add up quickly to make a big difference.
1. Smile at those around you, even if you don't know them.
2. Pick up litter whenever you come across it.
3. Visit someone who is sick or recently lost a relative.
4. Stop holding whatever grudge you may have.
These are just a few ideas. Think about how you can help people around you. Maybe it will be a small thing, like smiling, or maybe you'll find an opportunity to do something larger, like helping to paint a fence. Either way, you never know what effect you could have on the other person. The only thing I promise is that while serving others, you will be happier.

Simplify Life

Many people needlessly complicate life. They say, “I need a new TV,” or, “I need a new car,” and they buy things they cannot afford. The economic difficulties that we see around us should encourage us to simplify our lives and live within our means.
In 1845 the author Thoreau decided to try a simplified life. He built a small cabin, planted a garden, and spent his time studying nature and writing. For two years he lived in the cabin until his experiment ended and he left with the conclusion that the four things we really need are food, clothing, shelter, and fuel.
I don't think that we should all move to cabins in the woods, but we can simplify our lives by removing things we don't need. Do we “need” a big screen TV, or would a smaller TV work? Do we “need” a new car, or would an older model drive just as well? If we live within our means, we will be free of debt and be able to do as Thoreau did and enjoy the world around us.

Diligence in Trials

Last week I wrote about Joseph's courage when faced with temptation. This week I'd like to look at the story from another angle. Joseph was the eleventh of twelve sons, but he was his father's favorite. His older brothers became annoyed because he was the more righteous than they were. One day they decided to kill Joseph, but the oldest convinced them not to do so. Instead, they sold Joseph as a slave to a company going to Egypt, where he was sold to Potiphar.
Joseph was the favorite son of a rich man, but now he was just a lowly servant. Instead of complaining about what his brothers had done, Joseph started working. He soon became Potiphar's most trusted servant, but when Potiphar's wife accused him falsely he was thrown in prison.
Again Joseph could complain about how hard and unfair his life was. Instead, he again went to work and prison keeper allowed him to help take care of the prison. Joseph had been betrayed twice, but he did not stop to whine. He kept doing his best even in difficult situations. He made the best of terrible conditions and rose to the highest position available in every place.
When two of Pharaoh's servants were imprisoned, Joseph interpreted their dreams and asked in return that one of them, Pharaoh's butler, speak to Pharaoh and have Joseph released from prison. When the dreams came true the butler returned to his duties and forgot his promise.
After this third betrayal Joseph got another chance when Pharaoh had a dream that he could not understand. The butler remembered his own dream and told Pharaoh that Joseph could interpret. Joseph correctly translated the dream and Pharaoh made him a ruler over Egypt.
Joseph was raised to a position of power because he always worked hard, even when he found himself in difficult situations. We will surprise ourselves with what we can accomplish when we keep working hard, even when everything is against us.

Joseph's Courage

Every day it seems we can find examples of people doing what is wrong because of pressure. This pressure could be a bad group of friends, financial problems, or any of hundreds of other pressures we deal with every day. If we want the world to become a better place, we need to overcome these pressures.
One of my favorite Bible stories is of Joseph in Egypt. His life was hard. He was sold by his own brothers as a slave and became a servant to Potiphar, who was a powerful man in Egypt. Joseph worked hard until he became Potiphar's most trusted servant, but his problems weren't over.
Potiphar's wife lusted after Joseph and tempted him, saying, "Lie with me." He refused and avoided her on a daily basis. Finally, she caught him alone, grabbed him and insisted, "Lie with me." He didn't stop to argue, he "left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out." (Genesis 39:12)
Joseph refused to give in to her pressure because he knew that she wanted him to do something wrong. Resisting Potiphar's wife had consequences. She accused him of attempted rape and he lost his position and was thrown in prison. Joseph had the courage to do what is right. All of us need this courage. We need to ask ourselves, "What would I do if I was asked to lie about what my company does?" "What would I do if someone wanted me to help them steal something?" These may seem like stupid examples, but think about what ethical dilemma would be hard for you.
Some would argue that Joseph is a terrible example because his courage seems to have left him worse off than before. But, those who know the rest of the story will remember that prison was the place where Joseph was needed. The sequence of events eventually led him to become Pharaoh's second in command and he was able to save Egypt from a famine. But that part of the story is for next week.
Remember to have the courage that Joseph had to always do what is right. The end result will always be better.

Hope in Troubled Times

In the past years I've noticed a lot of negative prophecies. In just the past decade I remember predictions of widespread computer failure, world war, pandemic deseases, and several other disasters. Most of these predictions were based on fear and had little or nothing to do with reality.
I think that we hear so many predictions like these because people are losing hope. They don't believe that things will get better, only worse. If we want the world to change for the better, then we need to start by hoping and believing that it will.
Take for example John Paul Jones, an American soldier who fought to free America from England. He found himself in an old, rotting merchant ship face to face with a much larger and stronger Brittish ship. He was out gunned, out manned, and stood almost no chance. He still hoped to win.
He forced the British ship to ram him, tied the two ships together and began to fight. His ship took a beating and began sinking. When the captain of the other ship asked if he would surrender, John Paul Jones refused and answered, "I have not yet begun to fight!"
That is hope. With his ship sinking beneath him, John Paul Jones continued to lead his men in battle until the British captain finally surrendered. All of the men moved to the British ship and watched the victorious ship sink.
Hope is what will get us through the hard times. It may get worse before it gets better, but when we hope for the best and work towards it, not even a sinking ship can keep us from reaching our goals.
