Welcome to Part 2 with Dr. Brad Wilcox, Third Nephi chapters 12 through 16.

Brad, you've heard me talk about the three attitudes.

It rhymes with beatitudes, but it's the three attitudes it rhymes with be attitudes but it's the three attitudes not

nearly as profound but Hank I love what you said it reveals where you're at if your

attitude is how bad can I be if you're in search of minimums

how far can I go where's the line exactly so that I don't cross it but I want to get as

close as possible to it that is blessed are they that hunger and thirst after minimums no that's not the

the attitude and then maybe it's well how good do I have to be with this resignation well no

that's not it either it's blessed today that hunger and thirst after righteousness

this is King Lamone's father in one of my favorite prayers in the whole book of Mormon

he's not even baptized yet.

King Lamoni's father says,

Oh God, Aaron hath told me there is a God.

And if there is a God and if thou art God,

will thou make thyself know none to me, and then this is just poetry, and I will give

away all my sins to know thee."

He didn't say, well how bad can I be and still know thee? What's the minimum? He didn't say, well, how bad can I be and still know thee? What's the minimum?

He didn't say, well, how good do I have to be?

He said, I'll give them all the way. That is hungering and thirsting after righteousness.

Now if some of you listening are thinking, boy John, that was good.
