Honesty 3 Nephi 12: 38 -42 According to the New Testament, God permitted divorce under some conditions because of the hardness of the people’s hearts; however, as Jesus explained, “from the beginning it was not so” (Matt. 19: 3– 12). The scriptures counsel against divorce generally and advise husbands and wives to love each other in righteousness (1 Cor. 7: 10– 12; D&C 42: 22). Despite the truths taught about the sanctity of marriage, divorce has become commonplace in the world. Because the family is central to Heavenly Father’s plan for His children, Satan seeks to destroy marriages and families. Because of the poor choices and selfishness of one or both marriage partners, marriages sometimes end in contention, separation, and divorce. If, instead of resorting to divorce, each individual will seek the comfort and well-being of his or her spouse, couples will grow in love and unity. The gospel of Jesus Christ—including repentance, forgiveness, integrity, and love—provides the remedy for conflict in marriage. (lds. org)

Honesty 3 Nephi 12: 38 -42 “If all mankind were honest, we could have heaven here on earth. We would have no need for armies or navies, nor even a policeman in the smallest community, for there would be no crime, no invasion of other people’s rights, no violence of one person against another. “There would be no grounds for divorce. Conflict between children and parents would disappear… “But in our society is there anything more widespread than the tendency to lie and deceive? “It is the lie of the drug peddler that tempts a child to indulge, and the lie of the seducer that persuades a girl to surrender her virtue…. It is the lie of the shoddy workman that hides a faulty repair…. It is the lie on the lips of the neighborhood gossip that brings character assassination to many innocent victims. ” (Elder Mark E. Petersen, October 1971 General Conference)

Going the Extra Mile 3 Nephi 12: 38 -42 “The Master taught us that ‘whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain’ (3 Nephi 12: 41). Some of the most rewarding times of our lives are those “extra mile” hours given in service when the body says it wants to relax, but our better self emerges and says, ‘Here am I; send me’ (2 Nephi 16: 8)” (James E. Faust, in Conference Report, Oct. 2002, 56– 57; or Ensign, Nov. 2002, 52).

“Judge Not, that Ye be not Judged” 3 Nephi 14: 1 -5 "I have been puzzled that some scriptures command us not to judge and others instruct us that we should judge and even tell us how to do it. I am convinced that these seemingly contradictory directions are consistent when we view them with the perspective of eternity

“Judge Not, that Ye be not Judged” 3 Nephi 14: 1 -5 “The key is to understand that there are two kinds of judging: final judgments, which we are forbidden to make, and intermediate judgments, which we are directed to make, but upon righteous principles" (Dallin H. Oaks, “Judge Not and Judging, ” [CES fireside for young adults, 1 Mar. 1998], 1).

The Sermon on the Plain 3 Nephi 12 -14 One final doctrine… 1. T F Heavenly Father wants us to be perfect. 2. T F We need to be perfect in this life in order to enter the celestial kingdom. 3. T F We can become perfect. 3 Nephi 12: 48

Perfection Pend ing, ” Ensign, No v. 1995, 88 “We need not be dismayed if our earnest efforts toward perfection now seem so arduous [difficult] and endless. Perfection is pending. It can come in full only after the Resurrection and only through the Lord. It awaits all who love him and keep

“This Is Our Day, ” Ensign, May 1999, 19 “Perfection is an eternal goal. While we cannot be perfect in mortality, striving for it is a commandment, which ultimately, through the Atonement, we can keep”
