Moroni 8 – 9I wonder if things will becomes so bad in our day before the second coming of Christ that men openly seek for blood revenge continually as they did among the Nephites and Karedites at the times of their destruction. If so it might be worldwide except that we know there will be…

Moroni 7I have always lumped those Nephites who escaped into the south countries in with hose who defected to the Lamanites during the final battle as cowards. I believe I was wrong about that. Those who escaped may have been among the “peaceable followers of Christ” that Mormon spoke to earlier. Perhaps they escaped hoping…

Moroni 1 – 6It sounds like only the 12 desciples had the Melchizedek Priesthood among the Nephites. Others whom they ordained were only given the Aaronic Priesthood.

Moroni 7I really wish I knew when in Mormon’s life he had the opportunity to preach this sermon to the people – I wonder when in that last portion of Nephite history there was a group of people ready to receive this message. When we search for good in the light of Christ we will…

Moroni 4 – 6I think I knew this, but it struck me this morning that the ordinances of baptism and the sacrament are tied together. None could be baptized unless they were worthy to partake of the sacrament and none should partake of the sacrament save they have been baptized (although I don’t believe we…

Moroni 1 – 3I’m glad that Moroni took the time to explain the details of the ordinances of the church showing how ordinations were orderly and specific.
