Moroni 7 (Moroni 7) The first thing that draws my attention in this chapter is the idea of God calling or choosing us, not us choosing Him. “Many are called, but few are chosen.” But there is more to it than this, and here Mormon is reminding me of this: …it is by the grace …

Among the People of the Church of Christ
Moroni 6 (Moroni 6) This chapter deals with basic church governance and organization. I think the thing that I love most about it is that even now, this counsel is still relevant. The preparation for church membership, the principles of ministering, church discipline, and meeting organization are all spelled out in just 9 verses! Preparation …
“This Wine… In Remembrance of the Blood of Thy Son”
Moroni 5 (Moroni 5) Here is a second Sacramental prayer (though again, it was not referenced as such by Moroni nor anyone in antiquity as such). This prayer is different from the first.

Power… [to] Give the Holy Ghost
Moroni 2 (Moroni 2) This chapter contains instructions given to Christ’s disciples when he visited the Nephites after his death and resurrection. I am struck by step one of these instructions: “Ye shall call upon the Father in my name, in mighty prayer;” (vs. 2). The effect of such mighty prayer will be that one …
I… Will Not Deny the Christ
Moroni 1 Moroni presents just a matter of fact account of his situation where for the safety of his own life, and the integrity of his personal witness of the Christ, he must keep himself hidden. The reason for all this: Lamanites will kill any Nephite who will not deny the Christ, Moroni will not …
