“That Same Spirit,” Alma 34:34-35

Alma 34:34-35 This is a very interesting statement of truth and a reality check of sorts for me. In the latter end of verse 34, Amulek states that the same spirit which possesses our bodies presently will be the same spirit that possesses our body in the eternal world. Therefore, this speaks volumes to the …

Discourse: Jesus Christ Is the Author of My Covenants

(This is the Easter Message that God would have me to hear.) This Easter Season, as I contemplate what the Father would have me to understand about our Lord, the Savior Jesus Christ, the following phrase was impressed upon my mind:Jesus Christ is the Author of My Covenants.
