Thank God, our Father, for sending His Son into this fallen world to comfort and counsel us through all […]
LDS 12 Step Insights – Jacob 5
Jacob 5 — LDS 12 Step Book of Mormon Insights The fifth chapter of Jacob is second only to the Isaiah passages for being a mystery and headache to the casual Book of Mormon student.

Hearing Him
Testimony recorded Feb. 5, 2007 I have lived to experience the most important aspect of the Atonement for me while I am still in mortality—personal revelation, personal communion with the Lord Jesus Christ, through His light and through the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost’s greatest gift to me is “the words of […]
Why Should I Fear My Savior?
3 Nephi 9:21 “Behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world, to save the world from sin.” The Lord declared this same message in John 12:47, when He said, “And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the […]

Zenos’s Allegory
Jacob 5:1-2 How fascinating to make note (in verse 1) that this allegory is actually Jacob rehearsing (for the next 76 verses!) the teaching and testimony of Zenos, a prophet “of old,” (Alma 33:3). In fact, looking back, we see that Nephi quoted at length from Zenos’s prophesies of Christ’s life (1 Nephi 19:9-16). And […]
Seeing the Lord’s Commitment
