Familia –¿Cómo me apunta esto a mi al Cristo?– 2 Nephi 25:23-29 En estos versículos, el enfoque es en el Cristo. Pero también enseña la importancia y la ley. Aunque para ellos, la ley hubo muerto, lo enseñaron a sus hijos, porque los mandamientos se guardaron por medio de la ley. En nuestros días es …

Arriving at the End
If I can maintain the same enthusiasm for the truth that I had when I first encountered it, after 20 years, then I will begin to see the fruits. No, 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. If I can still have that same youthful enthusiasm for truth as when I first heard it and learnt …
Passing Clouds or General Darkness
I was reading over in Alma the other day. Alma’s account here is redemption from that general darkness of which he was engulfed. I don’t understand this seperation: I share with you again a simple little insight that may help you at certain junctures in your lives. It is that you must not mistake passing …
Spiritual Renewal, Spiritual Strength
I’ve struggled to get on my feet this morning. So I did what I some times do, when I don’t have the capacity of mind or physical presence to focus on a few minutes of scripture study: I watched a bible video. This morning I actually watched three bible videos: The Widow of Nain, Jesus …
Of Mourning and Multitudes
Matthew 14 John the Baptist, through a terrible plot, is beheaded. When the news of his beheading reachs the Savior, Jesus crosses the sea and retires to a (remote) desert place. It appears that he is mourning and is looking for a place of solitude. However, he is not permitted to do so because immediately …
Ser Caritativo
I’m at an interesting junction of revelation this morning. En mis estudios personales, buscé la tema de Caridad en el GEE. El primera referencia que buscé fue en 2 Nefi 26:30. Leí versículos 29 a 31. A su vez, pensaba que ser caritativo solo se trataba de hacer buenas obras (como cuidar a los enfermos …
Progress of Commandments
Matthew 19:16-26 It is interesting to note the progression of the commandments that the Savior notes here in the conversation with the Rich young ruler. They are listed here in order of grossest offense to most exalted behavior. Thou shalt do no murder Thou shalt not commit adultery Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not …
Gratitude and Humility: Two Sides of the Same Key
Through a series of thoughts that culminated in a family home evening lesson last evening, I am brought to consider the two-sided key, or two-sided coin, of gratitude and humility. I say two-side because, on comparing the definitions, they are the same thing only in different contexts. Here’s how I’m defining the two terms: Gratitude …

On Creation
Hebrews 11:3, Moses 1:32-33 “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:3 Then over in Moses we learn, “And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only …
“I and My Brethren,” Alma 27
The reference is to Alma 27:15 where Ammon consults with King Lamoni about what he can do to help liberate the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi. He offers to take the lead among his fellow servants to go back to the land of the Nephites to negotiate lands for their protection. I read this at a time …
