    We can see the spirit of contention among the Nephites in the leader who ordered the execution of Zeniff when he suggested spraying the Lamanites. We can also see it among the people of king Noah as they boast in their ability to kill Lamanites. We also see that sprout in king Laman and his…

    I just realized that there is a more complete version of the law of consecration that we are not yet generally following. We are under covenant to consecrate all that we have received or will receive to the Lord’s church for the building up of the kingdom and the establishment of Zion but there is…

    Prepare yourselves for the great day of the Lord; for if I, who am a man, do lift up my voice and call upon you to repent, and ye hate me, what will ye say when the day cometh when the thunders shall utter their voices from the ends of the earth, speaking to the…

    30 And behold, thou wilt remember the poor, and consecrate of thy properties for their support that which thou hast to impart unto them, with a covenant and a deed which cannot be broken.31 And inasmuch as ye impart of your substance unto the poor, ye will do it unto me; and they shall be…

    I trust there remaineth an effectual struggle to be made. Mosiah 7:18 Limhi did not expect that his people would simply be able to walk away from the Lamanites but I’m confident that his expectation was that the people of arrangement would send a military force of some kind to liberate them.

    4 Behold, I, the Lord, have looked upon you, and have seen abominations in the church that profess my name.7 Behold, verily I say unto you, there are hypocrites among you, who have deceived some, which has given the adversary power; but behold such shall be reclaimed;8 But the hypocrites shall be detected and shall…

    And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other head whereby ye can be made free. There is no other name given whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with God that ye should…
