These youth are amazing! They were asked to take 5 minutes to search the Book of Mormon and propose a class theme for studying the Book of Mormon this year. You will be impressed with how spiritually mature and gospel focused they are.
They don't want or need gospel principles to be superficially attractive or palatable. They don't need sugarcoating.
Look at what they came up with in so short a time:
Helaman 5:12 - God is our foundation
Alma 27:27 - Perfectly honest and upright
Alma 24:15 - Merciful is our God
Moroni 10:5 - Know the truth
1 Nephi 10:21 - No uncleanliness
Alma 56:56 - Strength of God
1 Nephi 2:15 - Dwelt in a tent
Helaman 11:37 - Pride leads to destruction
Andrew recommended 'dwelt in a tent' and explained this would be his first seminary blog post where he would expand on the concept.
Julia expressed that she would like to use 'dwelt in a tent' because it was different and interesting. We all agreed that choosing this theme would require associating it to something conceptual.
Any votes on which one will become our class theme? We'll discuss these more in depth next week and make a decision. It will be very interesting to hear what they have to say about each one as we discuss them.
There is no doubt but that the youth in this church are spiritually mature and ready for the gospel as it is without sugarcoating.
