I wonder if the Amlicites marked themselves like the Lamanites before they joined their armies or only after those armies merged. It would seem that they would not want to mark themselves like the Lamanites before they merged if they had any thought of drawing away more Nephites to their side.

Did the Lamanites attack at the time of the contention with the Amlicites because they were aware of the dispute (even if it had not yet blossomed to way) and felt that the Nephites would be vulnerable at this time? That seems more likely than a mere coincidence.

It occurs to me that the way we distribute money can greatly vary the effectiveness of that distribution. If we amply supply those with the greatest need we receive much more benefit per unit of aid than if we help those with modest needs and much more benefit than if we assist those with superficial…

Moroni was worried or the wickedness if the people even though he didn’t know the nature of that wickedness yet. All he saw was the symptom that they were not even maintaining the lands they had not lost despite not sending support to those who were fighting to regain the lands they had lost.

When Helaman was receiving no other source of strength for his army, they turned to the Lord for strength and with the assurances if the Spirit were able to regain their final city which had fallen to the Lamanites.

As I read tonight I realized that one reason for the strength of the sons of Helaman was their exact obedience. That isn’t news but I realized that a lot to that obedience was their trust in their leader, Helaman. It occurs to me that the Lord is better able and had more incentive to…

Not more than a year after they covenanted to defend the freedom of the Nephites, the Sons of Helaman were put to the rest of battle when they choose to reissue their lives to save the men of Antipus.
