Post by Amulek Historically, peoples and nations who either drift from truth or have not had the truth, yearn to understand man’s very existence.

King Benjamin’s teachings worth repeating
Post by Helam – I had never given much thought to the kind of experience it was a hundred years ago when King Mosiah (King Benjamin’s father) left this land and united his people with my people in the land of Zarahemla. Of course I wasn’t born yet, so I had very little interest until…
King Benjamin Dies – We seek for people of Zeniff
Post by King Mosiah – It’s now been three years since my father King Benjamin consecrated me to be king. Being blessed of the Lord, it has been a time of peace. It seems so uncommon for our people to have no contention. Yet, having made sacred covenants with the Lord and having priests and…
I Mosiah, succeed my father King Benjamin
Post by Mosiah – My younger brother Heloram has shared with you a great deal about my father’s teachings from the tower and the effect it has had on our people – me included. One more thing my father felt expedient, was to have us take the names of all those who had entered into…

They recognized their own carnal state and desired with all their hearts to receive forgiveness of their sins and to have their hearts purified….
Glad tidings of great joy.
Post by Heloram – The next part of my father’s speech was probably the greatest thing he has ever spoken. Not that everyone wasn’t listening intently anyway but they really paid attention when he said “I want to tell you what an angel from God came and told me.” Quoting my father directly again, “And…
The Lord God has spoken it.
Post by Heloram – Father is getting pretty frail, in fact it took everything he had to deliver his speech from the tower. Everybody pretty much expected him to be stepping aside as our king, so it was no surprise when he announced that my brother Mosiah would now become their teacher and king. For…
Ye are only in the service of your God.
Post by Heloram – As my father taught our people from the tower, he was very conscientious not to appear boastful or condemning. He so loves our people. His love and care for our people has been evident his whole life. He really has labored his whole life for our people. He worked personally to…
Benjamin’s Service to God
Post by Heloram – Obviously I have known my father my whole life and therefore I have seen every side of him. Yes, he is a great king, yes he was a mighty warrior and certainly one of the greatest leaders this people has ever known, (and a kind father) but I still stand amazed…
