Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/02/nt-acts-10-fair.html As they came into class, I had them line up and gave them each a letter grade, telling them that Bro. Baker (our CES director) needed them. Some were not pleased with how I decided their grades! Imaging that! We discussed how they thought I came up with their grades and it was unfair. I was being partial to the taller members of the class. Until Acts…

Understanding Grace, Justification, and Sanctification Justification and sanctification are at the center of God’s gracious plan of salvation and are the essence of our witness of the Lord Jesus Christ. While justification and sanctification may be viewed as distinct topics, in reality I believe they are elements of a single divine process that qualifies us to live in the presence of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Justification…

I’ve been collecting some links and other information regarding the Armor of God. As usual, I start out with a very grandiose idea and whittle it down to something simpler. At first I had planned to have each student make a full cardboard set of armor. Cool, yes. Physical reminder of a powerful lesson, yes. Doable, yes, with difficulty. Cost, manageable but may not be able to be replicated by…

Well — that was interesting. We took the Basic Doctrines Assessment and I have compiled the data. I sent a copy of the results to the YW President, YM President, SS President, and bishop for their reference. You gotta know, the BDA is difficult. Really difficult. The font is difficult to read, especially when photocopied, and the *answers* are written to deceive. Many answers are “possible” but you have to…

I have had some people ask me for handouts specifically for the lesson outline, “How can I find comfort when someone I know dies?”The majority of the quotes I made came from the talk,”Because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also” from Elder Shayne M. Bowen.If you haven’t already read the talk, read it.It is a wonderful message of hope and gives great insight to the plan of salvation.Feel free to…

Downloaded from: http://afprimarysingingtime.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-can-i-help-you.html I love this blog. I have so much fun posting ideas (sorry I haven’t been posting a lot lately…the class I’m taking right now is KILLING me!), getting emails and comments from you, and helping where I can. I have a few posts in the queue, but I thought I would just ask the general question… “How can I help you?” What are you struggling with? Is…

This idea came from a Pinterest post by Erin Guinup. She didn’t post a link to a website, but posted a picture of her chalkboard from doing this activity that you can see at right. You can see her pin on my Seminary Pinterest page. Basically, you start with a topic. Each student is given a piece of chalk to write on the board their responses to the writing prompt. …

Monday of this week was a free day. I planned to celebrate birthdays with a party and watch movies, but my class president didn’t organize the food, so we ended up just watching Bible Video movies. Not great. I don’t like wasting time like that. Acts 13-14 – Paul’s First Mission My lesson objective this day was to talk about why some people accept the gospel while others do not,…

We started out the book of Acts with some excitement — or something like it. Some terrible weather rolled in to the area, resulting in changes to the student’s exam and class schedules. We had to cut out several days of class, but it didn’t hurt our reading schedule too much. January is always like this for us. I don’t know why we can’t start school three weeks earlier so…

Downloaded from: http://somesweettalkinggirl.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-holy-ghost-will-tell-us-what-to-do.html I have always been an advocate of planning with a purpose, making sure our activities have a purpose. Whether it is unifying, personal progress or service. I especially love having an activity that will drive home a lesson we had on Sunday. We have been wanting to do some service, so we decided to make some food for some families in our ward who were sick, or just needed…
