Noah was blessed for choosing the right.
When the prophet Noah was alive, people were very wicked. “[But] Noah and his sons hearkened unto the Lord, and gave heed, and they were called the sons of God.” (Moses 8:13) Because Noah and his sons chose the right, they received the Priesthood.

In the premortal life, I chose to follow God’s plan.
Heavenly Father taught Moses about what you and I did before we were born (Abraham 3). Before we were born, you and I lived with Heavenly Father and Jesus and Satan and many other of God’s children.

Agency Is the Gift to Choose for Ourselves
Do you know what you want to do tomorrow? What about next week? Or next year? The gift of making choices about what we will do is called agency. Heavenly Father lets us make choices. Our choices can help us or hurt us. When we use our agency to be obedient, Heavenly Father will bless us. When we are disobedient, we must face the consequences. The prophet Joshua told the…

I am in Control of Myself
Here are some legos and right on front is a picture of what you can build with these. Do I have to build exactly what is here? Can’t I choose to make any design that I can imagine? In fact, there are lots of different choices of really fun things that I can make with just these few blocks. If your friend makes a rude comment or does something mean…

Does Foreordination mean I’m Predestined for Failure?
Many students ask the question if God knows how I’ll act in a given situation (temptation or other), isn’t He really responsible for the way I acted in that situation? Does foreordination mean I have no choice in the way I’ll act? Am I predestined to failure?
