Which means I attend my home ward, only about 6 times a year, tops. Yet, I'm still called as a Gospel Doctrine teacher. So, I'm pretty much obligated to teach on the Sundays that I'm home. <br /><br />When I prepare, I will look at the manual lessons, especially the "Purpose of this lesson" at the top of each lesson, for a baseline. That said, the manual lesson is the same manual lesson that has been taught from for the past decade our so. So, I love using these lessons as they provide a new angle/ perspective, and are so much more relatable. So, as long as I can tie it all back in to the "purpose" as listed at the top of the manual lesson, I think it's all good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000422449411630740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706071451857400135.post-66992748116815655742017-05-10T03:31:15.185-08:002017-05-10T03:31:15.185-08:00I loved this part: "“This is the plan of salv...I loved this part: "“This is the plan of salvation,” and the entire thing operates “through the blood of mine Only Begotten who shall come in the meridian of time.” Obviously, after reading that, we can see that this chart here on the board is not the plan of salvation because the whole thing operates through the blood of Christ and he isn’t even mentioned here. And the three essential elements to the plan, water, blood, and spirit, are also not noted on this chart. There is nothing wrong with this chart, unless we are going to label it the Plan of Salvation."<br />This, along with this ensign article using the good samaritan as an allegory for the plan of salvation, have become almost the entirety of my gospel doctrine lesson. https://www.lds.org/ensign/2007/02/the-good-samaritan-forgotten-symbols?lang=eng#footnote1-27902_000_011<br />Thank you!Felicianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706071451857400135.post-82758782246493239082013-06-09T04:44:15.349-08:002013-06-09T04:44:15.349-08:00Rose, I totally understand.

But I felt such a push to write the blog and record my lessons and testimony for my own family if no one else, that I did so and included "for personal and family" use in the heading. From the comments I receive, however, I think it is usually used for actual class. I use only trustworthy sources, and make sure my ideas align with the scriptures and prophets. And now that the youth Sunday School (which I teach) has no lesson manual at all--you are just supposed to teach by the spirit, with a few suggested talks and scriptures, and encouragement to use your own learning activities--I would not be surprised if the adult curriculum soon followed.

I am pretty sure I would be reminded to USE the manual for my lessons as directed on page vi and vii in the front. I have taught GD several times now and it has always been the same Manual. I find your ideas so creative and for my own study gain so much insight. Thank you for posting your ideas. At least I can USE this for myself and FHE.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799665282681074515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706071451857400135.post-41796911196808818892013-06-02T08:10:26.759-08:002013-06-02T08:10:26.759-08:00Thanks you so much for your fresh eyes--that insig...Thanks you so much for your fresh eyes--that insight about what is really the plan of salvation. It will make my class much more meaningful to a membership that is so familiar with how we usually approach this topic.

Sometimes when I can't find a good starting point, or tie-in, you have just the right thing that helps me put it altogether. Your perspective is just different enough from mine, that you allow me to see things I wouldn't have otherwise. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Grace is much misunderstood in our church, but fundamental.<br />Here's a post I did about grace, which you may like:<br /><br />http://scriptoriumblogorium.blogspot.com/2011/03/secrets-of-gods-grace.htmlMichaela Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163084369311708249noreply@blogger.com
