2 Nephi 31 – 33 The light of the gospel illuminates many truths on our lives but if we forget the doctrine of Christ, that all men can be cleansed through His atonement if they will accept him by baptism and endure to the end, the rest of the truths are of little lasting use.…

2 Nephi 29 – 30 I know that we, as latter-day saints, are generally appreciative of the role of the Jews in bringing the covenants of the Lord to the world. I wonder if others of the Gentiles are considered to value the Jews in our day. Part of me says yes but another part…

2 Nephi 28 Teaching with their learning and denying the Holy Ghost indicates a clergy that acts more like a debate club – where winning the argument by persuasion is the goal of the discussion as opposed to a goal of finding the truth. A goal of winning indicates a zero-sum mindset where a goal…

2 Nephi 27 “The Lord has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep.” That makes a lot of sense as I see so many people physically exhausted on a daily basis. We live in a world where multitudes rely on an endless supply of stimulants to get through each day. Some come as…

2 Nephi 16 – 19 It would require faith to believe the prophecy of Isaiah here as he says that there is no need to fear the king of Israel today because the nation of Israel will cease within little more than a half century. To the skeptic that would leave half a century in…

2 Nephi 15 We find it easy to condemn the house of item for their failure to bring forth grapes despite all the care of the Lord but aren’t w all guilty at times of bringing forth wild grapes despite great care from the Lord and of delivering oppression when we had the opportunity to…

2 Nephi 11 – 14 The land I’d full of things that the Lord might bless them with (gold, silver, horses, and chariots) but it is also full of the evidence that they are not hearkening into Him (idols). “Babes shall rule over them” – our President flaunts the fact that he moved to action…
