D&C 130:20-21
There has been a law set before the world was, that God will keep His promise if we are obedient to His commandments. The Father will do anything for us if we just keep our part of the deal. I like this a lot because this means no catch or extra thing on our part, just as long as we keep the commandments and are faithful.

Learning Early
Alma 37:35
If we learn early, it is an advantage to us. This accounts for everything whether it be math, science, or keeping the commandments, the faster we take in something or if we learn it early it is for our benefit. So doing as Alma counsels his son, to learn wisdom in his youth, is a wise choice so as to stay on the strait and narrow.

Labor Diligently
D&C 88:84
We as missionaries are to prepare the way for the Lord and for the Judgement Day. By our hard labor we will become perfected. There is no such thing as reaping the reward with little or no work at all. It's by the sweat of my brow that converts people, and it shows the Lord that I dedicated and willing to do his will. By working hard, I will be able to receive the Spirit and as it as my guide among my brethren the Gentiles.

Gathering Them In
D&C 18:15-16
How great will be our joy when we enter the next life and converse and rejoice with those who were brought to the knowledge of the restored Gospel due to our labors. Just doing baptisms for the dead or other ordinances for the dead are ways of helping our spirit brethren and sisters out. Imagine their joy and their gratitude towards those that took part in their work, and that made it possible to have joy.

Are we Good Samiratans?
Luke 10:30-37
I often wonder when I read this story, if I have ever neglected to help someone in anyway that was by the wayside? Have we neglected anyone in need, not just physically, but spiritually as well? Often the businessman or the lawyer will pass by someone in need, and it's usually the meek and lowly in spirit, such as the homeless, helping those who are in need.

Straitness of the Path
2 Ne 31:9-10
I echo the words of Nephi: "Can we follow Jesus?". He has set the path and the way. Now, we must follow and cling close to the gospel so as not to fall off the path into other paths of sin. Jesus is the example and the way. We must strive to be like him and try to live a Christlike life.

For all Eternity
D&C 132:15, 18-19
The law of the new and everlasting covenant is the law of eternal marriage and becoming sealed for all eternity to your spouse and to your family. This is a wonderful covenant because we will not be separated from our loved ones after death. For this covenant deals with the next life and the eternities and us becoming exalted and receiving inheritance from Heavenly Father if we live righteously. What a wonderful covenant indeed that the Father has been so gracious to provide for His children.

Everlasting Covenant of Marriage
D&C 131
The covenant of marriage is an important ordeal. For a no one cannot enter into the celestial kingdom without becoming first sealed to a spouse. Man and woman were never meant to be alone. Heavenly Father is gracious enough to let us become sealed for eternity to our spouse and our family.
I like this section of D&C because it gives some factual information concerning spirits and that it's impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance.
It's horrible how today people are not staying married for very long. Marriage is being taken in completely new directions and is being defiled by the thought that same-sex couples should be able to do this and defile God's law and make a mockery of his sacred commandments. There are scriptures in the bible that talk about that there should be no such instances.

One Tenth
D&C 119:4
The law of tithing is an actual law decreed by the Lord. This is for our welfare and for the supporting of the Church so missionaries can be supported and new temples and churches can be built. Without this law many students probably wouldn't be able to come to BYU and the Church would suffer financially in many different ways.

Bring in the Tithes
Malachi 3:10-12
It's interesting to know that we will be blessed greatly for paying tithes unto the Lord. If we don't pay tithes it's almost like stealing and being ungrateful for all he has done for us. So paying tithes is very important in the Church so we will be blessed and become prosperous and show our devotion and gratitude unto the Lord.

Receiving Health
D&C 89:18-21
What a great promise it is if we keep the Word of Wisdom we will be blessed and we will do well in our lives. We shall run and not be weary, we shall walk and not faint. And it makes sense that if we're taking care of our bodies like we're supposed to then we will be healthy and be able to do all sorts of things. And even better, the destroying angel will just pass right by us. This is if we keep ourselves healthy and are obedient to the Word of Wisdom.

Our Body is a Temple
1 Corinth. 6:19-20
For our body is a temple. In the temple is where the Holy Ghost is allowed to reside. We wish for the Holy Ghost to reside with us as well. Just like how God owns the temples, he owns our bodies which He made for us. I think it would be a disrespect to Him if we were to defile our bodies in any way, shape, or form.
