3 nephi 27: 1 - 12

what do you think it means for the church to be built upon His gospel?  why do you think it is important for the church to be built on His gospel rather than on the works of men? 

--> the difference between the church and the gospel isn't something i've thought about a lot until recently in my life - like the past few years.  but on my mission i was talking to a bishop about some people in the ward that were inactive in the gospel but active in the church.  this got me thinking about how easy it is to go through the motions in the church, but let your testimony fade.  just today in church, actually, i was thinking about how a lot of days in church i just sit there and exist during meetings and don't try too hard to participate. 

the main thing that sets this church apart from the rest of the religions in the world is that we are built on the gospel of Jesus Christ, not the doctrines or works of men.  that's why the church is constant and consistent, because it will always be founded upon the gospel.  Jesus Christ stands at the head of this church.
