Week 3


Day 15

Read: 2 Nephi 14-18

Mark: 2 Nephi 15:20-21

“Today’s popular entertainment often makes what is evil and wrong look enjoyable and right. Let us remember the Lord’s counsel: ‘Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.’

Pornography, though billed by Satan as entertainment, is a deeply poisonous, deceptive snake that lies coiled up in magazines, the Internet, and the television.”

~ Elder David E. Sorensen

What helps you to see things for what they really are?





Day 16

Read: 2 Nephi 19-23

Mark: 2 Nephi 21:12

“The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.”

~ Joseph Smith

What part do you play in these prophecies?





Day 17

Read: 2 Nephi 24-25

Mark: 2 Nephi 25:23, 26

“Literally, the Atonement means to be ‘at one’ with Him. The nature of the Atonement and its effects is so infinite, so unfathomable, 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

How do you experience the Savior’s love?



Day 18

Read: 2 Nephi 26-27

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 would have lessened sensitivity to the Spirit. And so each time his request would have eemed more foolish, until the rain came. And then it was too late.

~ Elder Henry B. Eyring

How does following the prophet keep you safe?





Day 19

Read: 2 Nephi 28-30

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 baptism for granted. What do you do to remember and increase your appreciation for your baptism?



Day 21

Read: Jacob 2-4

Mark: Jacob 2:18-19

“If you have not chosen the kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead.”

~ William Law

Are your decisions based on how your choices will help to build the Lord’s kingdom? If needed, how can you change?
