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 Smith that Bloweth,… The Waster to Destroy
3 Nephi 22 (See Study from Isaiah 54) Having recently studied this chapter in Isaiah just a couple of months ago, I’m reading over this chapter with a broader view.

The Meek and the Poor
I’ve done a search for the term “meek” on my main Book of Mormon study blog this morning. I am surprised by how connected to the work of the Lord in the last days are the meek. Christ was possessor of two great attributes: meekness and lowliness of heart — no pride, no arrogance here.
