Post by Zoram – I’ve been asked many times why I was so willing to make an oath with Nephi and his brothers and immediately leave my home forever and travel to an unknown land with complete strangers, who had just beheaded my master and by cunning taken a most prized treasure from my master’s…

God’s Covenants with His children.
Post by Nephi – I cannot think of doing justice to the topic of covenants. In future posts, I am certain there will be those who contribute to this blog and they will be more inspired than I. I do not know the meaning of all things, I do however know the Lord loves His…
What is a “covenant people?”
Post by Nephi – I worry that when Jacob and I and even Isaiah talk to and about you, our posterity, and how you are the covenant people, you suppose that you are more righteous than the Gentiles will be. Let me make this clear; unless you keep the commandments of God, you will all…
Living after the manner of happiness
Post by Nephi – After so many years of contention, broken up by only brief stints of harmony, we finally have our destiny in our own hands. Free from the hatred of my brothers, we have proven the Lord’s promises. We now observe to keep the judgments, the statutes and commandments of the Lord, according…
Our flight into the wilderness
Post by Nephi – Have you ever been so distraught that when you went to God in prayer, it was if you were crying and pleading with your parents when you were a child? That is how I have become. My brothers have become so angry with me, I go to my Lord and present…

Yet now it seems my turn to talk a little about a doctrine that seems fundamental to the Savior’s plan of salvation. My…
A New Land of Inheritance
Post by Lehi – As I’ve seen in vision, the land of our inheritance at Jerusalem has been conquered and Jerusalem destroyed. Many times as we journeyed in the wilderness my sons longed to return. Our life there was indeed more comfortable, we had been prospered by the Lord, yet glory be to His name…
Jerusalem is Destroyed
Post by Lehi – As we are now in the promised land, I desire to remind all those reading this blog of the great things the Lord has done for my family in bringing us out of Jerusalem. Although our rebellion on the waters could and should have been reason for us to have been…
Harsh and Glorious Promises made by Isaiah
Post by Sam – I guess writing a post about Nephi’s zest for Isaiah was a little premature because Nephi continued explaining what Isaiah’s preaching was all about. One of the things Isaiah said that really stood out to me was the promise from the Lord that all those that war against the house of…
Much Rudeness
Post by Nephi – I should probably use a different word than “rudeness” but I am running out of words that mean; “my brothers have offended God again, misbehaved, treated the family with contempt, practically killed family members, and lest they lose their very lives, repented and were forgiven.” The only difference in this next…
