Since the power was out last week and church services minimized, we continued our discussion about commandments this week. We focused on why we have commandments and how keeping the commandments benefits and ultimately blesses us. We discussed the roles adversity, affliction, and the Lord's chastening play in helping us learn, grow, and make course corrections. Our ultimate goal is to become like the Savior.
In preparation for General Conference next week and for next month's Sunday School lessons on the topic "Becoming More Christlike," I've asked students to read and ponder the following conference talks:
- Dallin H. Oaks, "The Challenge to Become"
- Neal A. Maxwell, "Becoming a Disciple"
I've also asked students to write down some ways that they have been inspired to become more Christlike based on what they hear in conference. I'm excited to hear what they have to say in the coming weeks!
