Name: Erin Christina Elliott Rel. 122 Section: 25 Word Count: 453 Date: February 18, 2009
1) What is the reference of the insight?
Helaman 13:29, 37, 38
2) What principle or doctrine is taught?
Foolishness of men
3) What message for improvement is taught?
In 29 we are asked questions, questions to reflect on who we are and what we are doing, not we but those who have forgotten God. “ye wicked and perverse generation” the Book of Mormon is written for us in our time, this is stated towards out generation. In 37 we are told about how there is temptation around us at all times. 38 is where the true doctrine comes in, where it is then the day of judgment and for not repenting when the chance was given and time has run out. This earth life is a predatory state. This is the time when we learn and we grow in the grace of God. This is time that we prepare for eternity and the day of judgment. Will the time be wasted and spent on trying to find true happiness in unholy things or will we follow the commandments of God and be prepared.
4) How can I apply this principle, doctrine, or message in my life?
“ye wicked and perverse generation” the Book of Mormon is written for us in our time, this is stated towards out generation. The questions in 26 hit me hard, I read each one and thought; Have I been this way? Have I done this? Have I been in darkness rather than light? Have I been lead blindly and foolishly? I don’t want to be! I don’t want to be sought by those dark demons, by the angles of Satin, I don’t want him to have a hold of me and give him the power to slowly destroy me. Then again in 38, it made me think, have I put off my time of repentance, have I put aside all the little things, those little things that have built up and have added on and let me slowly slip? Am I wasting time here, for I know the time is short, am I preparing myself or playing around? Have I sought out for the things that are not righteous or done the things that have lead me down the path of iniquity? I know that I have made mistakes, I know in my life I have procrastinated my time for repentance, those were the darkest years of my life, the years I felt most lost, slowly being brought down, slowly letting Him grab a hold of my heart, letting him drag my spirit down. Since I have let my time go to waste. The things said the three scriptures I don’t want to be about me. I have taken the words to heart, the powerful questions, I will always remember and constantly ask myself, and always make sure that my answers are no. So when the day of judgment comes, that I may have not procrastinated and that I may have not done any of the other things, be in light not darkness, be lifted up by righteous doings, standing in the light, surround by the Lords angles ready to life me up to eternal salvation to live and dwell with my heavenly family for all eternity.
