The Spirital Engine of Our Lives


What are the "Big Three" problems that can prevent a car engine for running? There are a lot of little things that could be going on that can cause complications. However, if you have even one of the "Big Three" there is no way to get your engine to run until it is fixed.
 The "Big Three" are: 1) A bad fuel to air mix 2) No ignition spark and 3) No compression in the piston chamber.

In our lives we have a spiritual engine that keeps us going in times of trial.  There is also a "Big Three" that will keep our spiritual engine from running at full efficiency or at all.
The "Big Three" of our spiritual engines are:  1) We are not being nourished by the good word of God (not having scripture study, not attending church, etc. ) 2) We are not having our daily two-way communication with God, our Eternal Father, (No personal prayers in the morning or evening, and not having prayers as a family) and 3) We are not listening to the inspiration from God that comes to use through the Holy Ghost.

If any of these sound like you, it is time to visit the mechanic. When it come to car care, you always want to turn to the best with the best price. You may turn to friends and ask them how their experience went with the mechanic they use, or you might do all of your own research online, but no matter the method the mechanic you settle on is always one you feel you can trust will get the job done right for a good price. Why would it be any different with your spiritual well being?

Since you have already decided that you only want the best at the best price, it is time to find out who has the best price with the best service for your spiritual well being. You may be able to turn to a pastor, or even a childhood friend, and although the price is good and the service is okay, there is a spiritual mechanic that has perfect service with the best price in the universe.

Jesus Christ is the perfect Mechanic. With the knowledge He has been given from the Father, and His suffering for our sins, His perfect Atonement, make Him our advocate with the Father. It is now our chance to choose.

"27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator [Jesus Christ] of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself." 2 Nephi 2:27

Let us choose Eternal Life through Christ our redeemer and keep our spiritual engines running smooth.
