Post by Jacob – Enos is now in charge of this blog, but I wish to take one more opportunity to share with you my feelings. We have devised all sorts of plans to reclaim and restore my brothers Laman and Lemuel’s family to the truth but we have just plain failed to do so….

Oh be wise; what can I say more?
Post by Jacob – I continue to be compelled to exhort you to repent and to seek the gift of the Holy Spirit. So many prophets have spoken concerning Christ. Will you reject these words? If you do you are denying the good word of Christ, and the power of God, and the gift of…
In His Power
Post by Jacob – My brother Joseph has done well with his summation of the things of which Zenos spoke concerning the house of Israel and how he likened them to a tame olive tree. Please permit me to now testify that these things must surely come to pass. I am certain the day will…
All Prophets testify of Christ
Post by Jacob – I appreciate my brother Joseph’s kind words but they do not ease the frustrations we experience as we attempt to share in written word, what we teach and present to our people in spoken word. We minister in word – spoken word and then we strive to record that ministry as…
Remember your own filthiness!
Post by Jacob – This blog, which was started by Nephi can’t even begin to contain a full account of what’s happening with my people, such as the wars, the contentions and the reign of their kings. But I do want to finish up with a few points from my last post. I know I…

Mine Errand from the Lord
Post by Jacob – Before Nephi’s death, at his hand, my brother Joseph and I were consecrated priests and teachers of this people. We are magnifying our office unto the Lord, taking upon us the responsibility, answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we do not teach them the word of…
Grace of the Holy Messiah
Post of Jacob – We appreciate the kind words from so many about my dear brother Nephi. I have been commanded to continue Nephi’s blog, and in pondering the words of my father Lehi to me just prior to Lehi’s death, I feel it necessary to continue this blog to fulfill Nephi’s command and to…
Nephi has died.
Post by Jacob – Though I knew this day would come, with great sorrow for us but rejoicing for Nephi, I announce to all of you, the followers of Nephi’s blog, that Nephi has died. Before dying, I have received explicit instructions to continue this blog and to see that it continues long after my…
