As a high school teacher, It is an honor and delight to be working with student ages 12-19.

I feel like im
just working with the youth and ysa in the church that’s why how I handle my class is very ecclesiastical,
or in short Im using Christlike teaching skills in facilitating the students learning.

I love the youth and YSA of the church, I was once like them, who doesn’t fully understand the dreams
and hopes of my leaders before, right now I am feeling the same hopes and dreams that my future
leader had once had for us. Whenever I see the youth excelling both in spiritual and academic success ,
it gives me and us the assurance that our stake will be lead well with the future leaders. Thus the Cycle
of leadership in our ward and stake will be MORE REFINED . Im not saying that our leaders right now
aren’t doing well no, In fact they are. They are watering well these young generation to be a more
refined future leader in this church. A leader that graduated seminary and Institute, Served a full-time
mission and Married in the house of the Lord. Isnt it reassuring and exciting to leave on these days?

The message that I will be giving this morning is very challenging and I hope that the spirit will help
everyone feel and understand the right and intended message. Let me start by reading this quote from
Pres. Benson
“It is better to prepare and prevent than it is to repair and repent”.
How true that is of the law of chastity. The first line of defense in keeping ourselves
morally clean is to prepare ourselves to resist temptation and prevent ourselves from
falling into sin. My dear brothers and sisters, the law of chastity is a principle of
eternal significance.
Im not going to tell The WHAT but the When , Why and HOW .

Reaping the Consequences

The world is already beginning to reap the consequences of its abandonment of any
standards of morality.
AIDS - In a February 2018 report, the Philippine Department of Health said 11,103 new
cases were reported in 2017, up 19.85 percent from the 9,264 cases in 2016. The
health department said of the new cases in 2017, more than 95 percent involved male
transmission. A total of 38 cases involved minors under 15 years old.
Teenage pregnancy - One in ten young Filipino women age 15-19 has begun
childbearing: 8 percent are already mothers and another 2 percent are pregnant with
their first child according to the results of the 2013 National Demographic and Health
Survey (NDHS).
A lot of agency talks and raise fund to combat this terrible consequence : But why is it
we rarely hear anyone calling for a return to chastity, for a commitment to virtue and
fidelity?
Consequences inside the church.
The youth and the YSA in this church is the most favorite group of Satan , when it
comes to destroying CHASTITY. If we are not aware, we might fall into this trap. If
parents aren’t aware of their children, Their children might fall into satans trap, In
reality as leaders and parents and to those who are concerned for the one “ Were they
/ Are they (reffering to our youth and YSA) had already fallen into satans trap??
What a heart breaking even to see young generation broke their chastity, purity and
even broke COVENANTS including Temple Covenants. If we don’t take this seriously
then who will give this message to them? Who will save them? As our savior said in
the new testament “ The Salt loose its flavor” Shall we wait for the salt to loose it
flavor before we give action? Perhaps our children don’t understood or we don’t
understood.

The Doctrine of the Soul

we simply must understand the revealed, restored Latter-day Saint doctrine of the soul, and the high
and inextricable part the body plays in that doctrine. One of the “plain and precious” truths restored to
this dispensation is that “the spirit and the body are the soul of man” (D&C 88:15; emphasis added) and
that when the spirit and body are separated, men and women “cannot receive a fulness of joy” (D&C
93:34). Certainly that suggests something of the reason why obtaining a body is so fundamentally
important to the plan of salvation in the first place, why sin of any kind is such a serious matter (namely
because its automatic consequence is death, the separation of the spirit from the body and the
separation of the spirit and the body from God), and why the resurrection of the body is so central to
the great abiding and eternal triumph of Christ’s atonement. We do not have to be a herd of
demonically possessed swine charging down the Gadarene slopes toward the sea to understand that a
body is the great prize of mortal life, and that even a pig’s will do for those frenzied spirits that rebelled,
and to this day remain dispossessed, in their first, unembodied estate. – Elder Holland

Elder James E. Talmage on this doctrinal point:

We have been taught . . . to look upon these bodies of ours as gifts from God. We
Latter-day Saints do not regard the body as something to be condemned, something
to be abhorred. . . . We regard [the body] as the sign of our royal birthright. . . . We
recognize . . . that those who kept not their first estate. . . were denied that inestimable
blessing. . . . We believe that these bodies . . . may be made, in very truth, the temple of
the Holy Ghost. . . .

It is peculiar to the theology of the Latter-day Saints that we regard the body as an
essential part of the soul. Read your dictionaries, the lexicons, and encyclopedias, and
you will find that nowhere [in Christianity], outside of the Church of Jesus Christ, is the
solemn and eternal truth taught that the soul of man is the body and the spirit
combined. [CR, October 1913, p. 117]

Our soul is a precious gift from God. Our soul is a symbol of our covenant to God that we agreed even at
the great plan in heaven that we will go down (in the earth) and follow his plan) Understanding the
doctrine of our soul is very important in the plan of salvation.

A Symbol
When Adam and Eve was in the Garden of Eden they were married by the Lord and made covenant to
the Lord that they will be loyal to each other.

The symbol of Marriage seems not to be understood well now a days, Perhaps no one teaches them in
the home, or even leaders don’t talk about it in such a way that young generation can understand.

Knowing the Holliness of the SYMBOL marriage will give them a clear view pointing towards the temple.

They will plead for the power to resist and combat sexual temptation of any kinds, If only understood
well. Question: Sin o mapa intindi sa ila. Kita brothers and sister , parents, leaders and those who are
concerned for the one.

A Holy Sacrament
Elder Holland Said: intimacy is not only a symbolic union between a man and a
woman—the uniting of their very souls—but it is also symbolic of a union between
mortals and deity, between otherwise ordinary and fallible humans uniting for a rare
and special moment with God himself and all the powers by which he gives life in this
wide universe of ours.

In this latter sense, human intimacy is a sacrament, a very special kind of symbol. For
our purpose here today, a sacrament could be any one of a number of gestures or acts or
ordinances that unite us with God and his limitless powers. We are imperfect and
mortal; he is perfect and immortal. But from time to time—indeed, as often as is
possible and appropriate—we find ways and go to places and create circumstances
where we can unite symbolically with him, and in so doing gain access to his power.
Those special moments of union with God are sacramental moments—such as kneeling
at a marriage altar, or blessing a newborn baby, or partaking of the emblems of the
Lord’s supper. This latter ordinance is the one we in the Church have come to associate
most traditionally with the word sacrament, though it is technically only one of many
such moments when we formally take the hand of God and feel his divine power.
These are moments when we quite literally unite our will with God’s will, our spirit
with his spirit, where communion through the veil becomes very real. At such
moments we not only acknowledge his divinity, but we quite literally take something
of that divinity to ourselves. Such are the holy sacraments.
The symbol of Sacrament makes us remember to be CLEAN and holy so that through
the merits of the Son of God we will be cleaned and purified.
Let us help them understood this Doctrine:
