That the Lord can't come in
His love then to sample
As we are freed within

The Resolution [from the movie COURAGEOUS] Print at Christian Cinema.com
Hereby this resolution
Made to God and before all
Is my declaration
That to the home is my call
Our Bishop talked about this today. It is beautiful. I want to watch the movie. A father shares with some other men that he wants them to hold him accountable on how he is doing in keeping his resolution. It has such an effect on them that they want to take the resolution as well... These are manly men!

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord
THE RESOLUTION is a bold declaration of commitments that men are making to be faithful to God as the spiritual leader of their home. As read in the movie, this print is ready for framing to mark the moment and celebrate the commitment being made to God and family.
Message
THE RESOLUTION
I DO solemnly resolve before God to take full responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children.
I WILL love them, protect them, serve them, and teach them the Word of God as the spiritual leader of my home.
I WILL be faithful to my wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down my life for her as Jesus Christ did for me.
I WILL train them to honor authority and live responsibly.
I WILL confront evil, pursue justice, and love mercy.
I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. ---Joshua 24:15

God is the Source and Answer
God is the source and answer
For every bit of truth

For every bit of truth

For Profit and Learning- The Old Testament
The spirit speaks in truth
And manifests plainlyThrough the Word to reprove
For our growth and training
The spirit speaks in truth
Of all things as we've faith
Line upon line there's proof
God knows all that we face
Matthew 16: 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Here are two witnesses of the importance of the Old Testament:
1Nephi 19: 23 And I did read many things unto them which were written in the books of Moses; but that I might more fully persuade them to believe in the Lord their Redeemer I did read unto them that which was written by the prophet Isaiah; for I did liken all scriptures unto us, that it might be for our profit and learning.
For Our Profit and Learning: The Value of Studying the Old Testamen
Old Testament Student Manual Genesis-2 Samuel, (1980), 20–25
The Apostle Paul commended Timothy, saying, “From a child thou hast known the holy scriptures” (2 Timothy 3:15). As far as we know, the only scriptures available to Timothy were what we know today as the Old Testament. Note what Paul said about these holy writings:
- 1.
They are able to make one wise unto salvation (see 2 Timothy 3:15).- 2.
They are given by the inspiration of God (see v. 16).- 3.
They are profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (see v. 16).- 4.
They help the man of God become perfect and fully equipped for every good work (see v. 17).

The Student Becomes the Master
The student becomes the Master
As he puts his big boy pants on
Then, he is saved from disaster
For the Master helps him along
How many times have you heard at church that the speaker remembers when so and so was in the nursery and now is in mutual? Or the same general idea. It is exciting to watch the progress of our youth and how they are in leadership positions while so young.

Submission - Receive the Call
How vital submission is
- When receiving new calls
- ...We're as bumpy and uneven as
- A sack of doorknobs
"Life in the Church means experiencing leaders who are not always wise, mature, and deft. In fact, some of us are as bumpy and uneven as a sackful of old doorknobs. Some of the polishing we experience is a result of grinding against each other. How vital submissiveness is in such circumstances, especially if the lubrication of love is not simply present." -Neal A. Maxwell

Amy has an inspiring message. It was good for me to think about the friendships that have made an impact on who I am today.
A friend gives from the heart
Words and smiles that invite
The spirit to impart
In a bond filled with light
A friend misses your face
And asks about your day
A friend's first to embrace
You when things aren't okay
A friend remembers well
The good times when you grew
True friends are mutual
They serve each other too

When We Sin
When we commit a sin
Who is the first to know?
Christ's perfect light within
Alerts the face, to show
The chest becomes tight
And it proves so hard to breathe
You want to take flight
But from yourself you can't leave
The bathe of emotions
Have set an awful course
Then, for a magic potion
Repent with remorse
Do you ever feel your face get hot when you do something wrong? Is there fear? How is this different from anxiety or the flush of embarrassment? How do you get rid of these awful feelings? Do we ever get past feeling and kick against the pricks? Self government requires we ask these questions to understand and move on.
