A modern reformation
It is clear that at some point we will receive another record of scripture where Christ visited the Lost Tribes after His resurrection. It also seems clear to me that the gentiles will abandon Christianity (more than they have) and will be given an opportunity to return to the Lord. I have a feeling that…

Where are we now?
I see the pattern of people driving in wickedness and then suffering destruction as well as the pattern of people giving themselves and getting blessed for it. Right now it appears we are ripening in iniquity and flirting with real destruction. Not only that but there is clear prophecy of the remnant of Israel going…

Spiritual olive trees
Jacob occupied a unique place in Nephite history. He was among the last of the people who sailed from the old world and had firsthand knowledge of that journey and he lives and taught the people after their first leader had died. In fact he had been teaching them at the request of Nephi even…

Helaman 16The people must have still been aware of the work that Nephi was doing among the Nephites in Zerahemla because Samuel never mentioned Nephi and yet those who believed Samuel sought out Nephi in order that they might confess their sins and be baptized unto Christ. It sounds like Nephi was rather famous for…

Teachings of the Prophets: Joseph Smith – Lesson 33The gift of prophecy is the testimony of Christ – it is a gift that we must have if we are to attain the Celestial kingdom. If we have the testimony of Christ we have the gift of prophecy and it is manifest in that testimony and…

SeekingI probably need to learn to speak in parables. The Savior spoke in parables and I have been counseled to learn why – I have known why at some level for years, but my understanding just grew. The Savior speaks in parables so that people at different levels will understand his words at their own…
