Intro
I. You're looking good today and it feels good to be with you.
I. Theme: "The Gospel Grandeur!"
II. Point I 64:
i. Forgiveness
1. Story of disciples (Apostles?), "seeking occasion" or bearing grudges. See elbowing each other for ascendancy.
2. Need to forgive.
3. for he that forgiveth not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin.
a. This is new, harsher sin is not in the original trespass, but in withholding forgiveness
b. Even an atheistic marriage counselor will tell you need to forgive
4.  I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men
a. Rephrasing same idea: we forgive everyone. Anne Frank, Viktor Frankle, Eli Weisel, Corrie ten Boom forgive Nazis
b. We forgive mobbers, and jailers, corrupt lawyers and judges who imprisoned us.
5. Let God sort it out
6. Need for membership councils.
a. not because ye forgive not, having not compassion, but that ye may be justified in the eyes of the law, that ye may not offend him who is your lawgiver
b. Enablers: Toxic compassion. Allegory of Olive Tree: diseased branches corrupt tree. Amputation is a viable solution.
ii. Temptation, Morley and Booth
1. Isaac Morley may not be tempted above that which he is able to bear, and counsel wrongfully to your hurt, I gave commandment that his farm should be sold.  64:20, 1 Cor. 10:13
2. Two items: not tempted above what can bear, bounds set.
3. GAS JD 11:4-7, talked about this. Wife healed instantaneously. Booth became bitter, tarred and feathered JS. God protecting people from bad people and bad advice,
iii. Tithing
1. Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man, and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people; for he that is tithed shall not be burned at his coming. For after today cometh the burning
2. Doctrine
a. Today, tomorrow second coming (happen tomorrow, JFiS DS 3:1)
b. Tithing (still united order)
c. Burning, Malachi: choice burning or the bountiful blessing that we cannot hold.
d. Agents and errands: "Wherefore, as ye are agents, ye are on the Lord's errand; and whatever ye do according to the will of the Lord is the Lord's business." Confidence can accomplish work. "Compensatory Blessings" Causse
e. But all things must come to pass in their time. Hastening work, Lord's timetable
f. Wherefore, be not weary in well–doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. Long view, as history shows
g. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great. Small and Simple things DHO,
i. 90% of life is small decisions
ii. Cumulative effect of work.
iii. Saving and finances
III. Point II 65 Millennium
i. Prayer, D&C 109, Enos
ii. Second coming
iii. Praying for it to happen: Lord's Prayer--thy kingdom come.
IV. Point III 66.Gospel
i. William McCellin had 5 Questions, even I days of darkness, never denied
ii. Fullness of Gospel, Covenant
1. Different aspects of same things. Good News message--glad tidings--but not just information dump.
a. Dale Carnegie or Tony Robbins, do not receive by covenant and it's not confirmed by an ordinance.
2. "receiving mine everlasting covenant, even the fullness of my gospel"
a. No W of W, no degrees of glory, no endowment
b. understanding of BOm and fullness of gospel.
c. Minimalistic basics. Our desire to over-program church With Easter and Christmas.  Elder Gimenez "My Love For My Savior Is My 'Why'"
iii. Reasoning with people" Placed of good argumentation and sequencing.
1. BY ch 33 I would rather hear an Elder, either here or in the world, speak only five words accompanied by the power of God, and they would do more good than to hear long sermons without the Spirit.
2. BH Roberts "To be known, the truth must be stated and the clearer and more complete the statement is, the better the opportunity will the Holy Spirit have for testifying to the souls of men that the work is true."
a. Fallacy Fallacy. Bad argument doesn't mean it is wrong, just a bad argument.
b. Need education to hone and craft exquisite--and correct and effective--arguments.
V. Christ Quotient
i. Looking at branches, but trunk is the Atonement
ii. Atonement Quotient:
1. Forgiveness: Parable of Unforgiving Servant: he forgiven a lot, but won't forgive a pittance. We do the same.
2. Forgiving politicians
3. Need covenants for forgiveness, not just "sorry, not sorry."
4. Membership councils and forgiveness
a. Forgiven neighbor
b. but forgiveness from God, different thing.
c. Eliminate these things, disastrous.
iii. Second coming. Section 65. Latter days  it's happening. he's coming, that's the point.
