Weekly Project #1

So I have to do a project every week and share it with my teacher, my class on blackboard, and someone else in most cases. For this weeks project (January 4-8) I have chosen to memorize a scripture and share it with my boss...:)
The scripture I memorized was Moroni 7:10-11
"Wherefore, a man being evil cannot do that which is good; neither will he give a good gift.
For behold, a bitter fountain cannot bring forth good water; neither can a good fountain bring forth bitter water; wherefore, a man being a servant of the devil cannot follow Christ; and if he follow Christ he cannot be the servant of the devil."
This scripture was chosen at random. I find it interesting that randomly looking in the scriptures, I found a scripture that corresponds with what I studied and discussed this week in class. I believe in God and that He is the creator of all things. Because He is our Heavenly Father and because His word is 'good', I believe in this scripture and that it speaks the truth. We cannot be "Sunday Mormons"; only living the gospel of this church on Sundays and breaking our covenants the rest of the week. We have to live the gospel 24 hours a day 7 days a week everyday of our life! We need to be the good fountain always bringing forth that which is good!
Think about missionaries... They are ordained and set apart to preach the gospel worldwide in the name of Christ. They take 2 years out of their lives to preach the things that they know are true. We do not need to wear a name tag for this to be true!! The time we spend on this earth compared to the time we have already and will spend with our Heavenly Father is the same (in a way) to the 2 years missionaries spend. We leave the ones we love for a short period of time and go to a strange place, we meet new people and form lasting friendships, we have challenges and trials that make us strong, and we preach and learn the gospel! At the end of our journey, we return home to loving parents and siblings and those who love us and have been cheering us on. I don't see a difference between the two...
This is why we need to follow Christ...we can return to those who love us. We can be an example to the people of the world and to our friends. When we are following Christ, not just on Sundays but everyday of the week, we cannot be a servant of the devil! Why not follow this scripture and make our lives easy? It is so simple!!
