Let us be clear about this, marriage, parenting, and family are each complementary acts of faith. We embark on these lifelong, life altering acts of faith with only a vague idea of our end destination. It is not the known or the familiar country that we seek for in striving to fulfill the purposes of …

Ye Have Great Need to Marvel
Helaman 7 Earlier in chapter 6, it was noted that Nephi and Lehi, and also many Lamanites, went into the land northward to preach the word of God. Here at the beginning of chapter 7, it is noted that these efforts were utterly rejected. The wicked went unpunished because of their money. What made them …
That Joy Which is Unspeakable
Helaman 5 Here at the beginning of Helaman 5, we have Nephi doing a similar thing to what Alma did years earlier in Alma 4. He delivers up the judgment seat to another and confines himself wholly to the preaching of the word of God. The footnote in Alma 4 ends by stating that he …
Empezó a dudar
Alma 59 Cuando los nefitas pierdan la ciudad de Nefiáh, Moroni y sus capitanes en jefe, empiezan a dudar si podrán vencer contra sus hermanos, los lamanitas. Pensaron así porque tuvieron miedo que tal vez su propio pueblo fuera malo. Pensaron así porque los lamanitas habían logrado éxito en sus diseños contra los nefitas. ¿Porque …
Él es quien nos ha librado
Alma 57 Claramente, si el relato de los dos mil sesenta es verídico, hay un punto de poder que ellos poseían por su fe, que el resto de los nefitas no tenían. Y Helamán lo explica así- Y lo atribuimos con justicia al milagroso poder de Dios, por motivo de su extraordinaria fe en lo …
Entered Into the Rest of Their God
Alma 57 I read the accounts of the miraculous preservation of the Sons of Helaman, and I know there are people today that have that kind of faith. I know of stories from missionaries in the Philippines, groups of youth from my time at EFY, and many families across this broad church that have such …
–En hacer bien–
Alma 48:11-24 Los versículos 15 y 16 me llaman la atención esta mañana. Y esta era su fe, que si lo hacían, Dios los prosperaría en la tierra, o en otras palabras, si eran fieles en guardar los mandamientos de Dios, él los prosperaría en la tierra; sí, los amonestaría a huir o a prepararse …
“They Did Maintain Peace”
Alma 46:13-37 Captain Moroni, through very deliberate action against those that sought to alter the free government of the people, was able to maintain peace. He rallied the people to arms. He actively went after those who sought to destroy their government. He saw the disadvantage that it would be to lose the Amalikiahites to …
(And He Called It the Title of Liberty)
Alma 46:11-13 Moroni is angry with Amalickiah. Is this a justified angry? It seems to be. If justified, then upon what principles of understanding or knowledge does Moroni take action. In other words, upon what principles does Moroni place his faith (faith unto action)? Anger is often the result of fear. Fear and faith cannot …
“Only Through Repentance and Faith on the Name of the Lord God Omnipotent”
Mosiah 3 I’ve slowly read through this chapter again this morning. It has been a healing balm to my wounded soul. I failed in previous readings to realized that the bulk of this chapter is an angelic communication straight from the realms of glory of the presence of the Lord. This is the doctrine of …
