Reflection and Synthesis Report Name: Jordan Ingram Week #: 8 Instructions In the table provided below, you will complete your reflection and synthesis responses for this week. Be sure to complete each Response section. When referencing scripture or other materials, only include a brief or abbreviated summary along with the citation as these cannot be included in the required word count. When you have completed the document, save it to your computer and follow the instructions in your course to submit the assignment to your instructor. 1. Did you complete all the assigned reading for the week? [Yes ⃝ or No ⃝] Yes 2. Article of Faith Please identify the Article of Faith studied this week Response: "We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth." 3. Explanation of Key Events and Scriptures Demonstrate your comprehension of fundamental truths of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and your ability to use the scriptures to teach them. Be sure to include specific scripture references from the assigned readings Scenario: Imagine you have been asked by a family member or friend to share what you believe about the truths and events you studied this week. Share in your own words several insights as though you are really trying to teach someone. Include at least three scripture references to support the truths you teach (you may reference them, but there is no need to quote them). Share your testimony as you would when teaching someone. Your response will be evaluated by the following criteria: 1. 200–300 words in length (please include your word count at the bottom of the section). 2. Include at least 3 scripture references . Response: In this week’s lesson and personal studies I got to reflect on the importance of spiritual gifts and how our Heavenly Father gifts them to us to help serve him and others. This is mentioned in the True to the faith section over spiritual gifts which says, “ As you receive these gifts, they will strengthen and bless you individually and help you serve others.” I think many people can take some of their spiritual gifts for granted
without even knowing that’s why it’s important to recognize them and work on developing so that one day when there is someone who need you and your gift you are ready to use it. In D&C verse 8 it says “Wherefore, beware lest ye are deceived; and that ye may not be deceived seek ye earnestly the best gifts, always remembering for what they are given.” In an age where everyone is longing for something that other have I think it’s very important to remember this scripture. The Lord knows us individually and gifts us with specific gift that will help us on our own personal journey back to him and so rather that longing after other gifts we should try and be thankful for our own and using them. A great example of using your spiritual gifts to help others is our own church leaders who practice their spiritual gifts every day and because of this help guide us and bless us through our daily lives. In 1 Corinthians chapter 12 The Holy Ghost talks about the spiritual gifts which are among the Saints but specifically the leaders of the church. This scripture really helped remind me of the importance of spiritual gifts and how our leaders utilize them to help us feel closer to our Heavenly father. Word Count:296 4. Synthesis: Personal Relevance and Application to the Real World There are many serious challenges people encounter on a daily basis that are consequences of living in a fallen world. The gospel truths taught in the Articles of Faith have tremendous power to help people find answers, rise above problems, or simply feel God's love and concern for them again. Each week you will choose an issue (below) and think deeply about how the truths in that week’s Article of Faith can offer hope to those who are experiencing the problem. If you have another issue that particularly interests you, then choose your own: abortion abuse/bullying addiction depression divorce domestic violence energy/environmental issues violence gambling genocide homosexuality international terrorism
