The Whole Armour of God

As we visited with some of our family on FaceTime or Skype calls today we made a request that they hold a Family Home Evening. We have been thinking about the tidal wave of evil forces moving through the world today. The scriptures give council of how to stand strong against this evil day, by "Putting on the Whole Armor of God". We open this invitation to all who might be reading our blog.
We have come to recognize how much protection the Gospel of Jesus Christ is. There are promises in these verses that we can hold on to. You can find these admonition in the New Testament as well as in the Doctrine and Covenants.
  • Ephesians 6:10-18
  • Doctrine & Covenants 27:15-18
We saw a quote from President Henry B. Eyring this week, "Heavenly Father and the Savior are our perfect examples. …They never force righteousness because righteousness must be chosen."  If we understood the power in following these key things like praying and reading scripture, maybe we would be more willing to choose righteousness. 

We have made another request for this weekend. Please look at our blog sometime Sunday January 31st. It will register on the day's count Utah time from 5:00 p.m. Saturday until 5:00 p.m. Sunday. Elder Oveson is trying to see how many page views we can get on that day, which marks the mid point of our mission in Cambodia.
