Post by Aaron – What do you say when someone says, “Tell me concerning the creation of man, and I will believe what you teach me?” And, what if that someone is the very king of the Lamanite nation? A king with the power and history of granting or destroying life at a single command….

By way of command or invitation
Post by Nephihah – Chief Judge Permit me to share one more observation we found particularly fundamental in Alma’s discourse. The first thing is, he is speaking specifically to those who belong to the church, and in so doing he stands boldly for the commandments, and supports the call to repentance with reason and promise….
How do I know?
Post by Nephihah – Chief Judge and Alma Fan Alma’s questions, as I recently shared with you, are a sermon in themselves. However, another individual theme that ran throughout his sermons in Zarahemla was his proclamation that everything he taught was from God. He was led by the spirit and inspired by the Lord to teach and…
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…
Our nothingness and our worthless and fallen state.
Post by Heloram – After my father ended his speaking about what the angel had told him about the coming of Jesus Christ, the people fell to the earth with fear.

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…
A grosser crime than pride.
Post by Jacob – I find it interesting that following my chastisement of our people for the grievous sins of greed and pride, I feel my heart would rejoice if that was the worst of our problems. But no, the word of God burdens me because of their grosser crimes. Here is what the Lord commanded me to…
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…
From Lemuel, the rightful leader!
Post by Lemuel – Zoram said that only he and Sam remain from the original group that lived in Jerusalem. Obviously that is wrong because though I am older than both Nephi and Sam, I still remain. I would like to make a few things clear. All of those who call themselves the people of…
