Post by Lamoni’s Father My hope is not in vain. I begged Aaron to know of the joy he taught. He said if I would bow down before God and repent of my sins – which I now know are many, and call upon God in faith, believing, then I would receive the hope of…

And I will believe thy words.
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….
The Vilest of Sinners
Post by Ammon – Son of King Mosiah – Missionary having served fourteen years in the Land of Nephi among the Lamanites. My brothers and I were, as Alma said, “the vilest of sinners.” That sounds dramatic on the surface. After all, the only thing we did was destroy people’s testimonies of our Savior, and…
Vows, decrees, guarantees, or promises
Post by Zeezrom – The Lord has an interesting way of fulfilling his promises. I may call them decrees, threats, or even guarantees. Maybe vow is a better word. Regardless, I testify that if He says it, as He even declares Himself “My words shall not pass away.” And just as Nephi declared those many…
Healed According To My Faith
Post by Zeezrom – I’d all but resigned myself to utter destruction. I was laid low with a burning fever even exceedingly sore because of my wickedness. Word came that Alma and Amulek were in the land of Sidom. My heart took courage and I sent an immediate message to them. Just knowing they lived…

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…
Declaring, publishing, and imparting good tidings.
Post by Mosiah – Until you experience the challenges I, king over Zarahemla and all the land round about, am currently charged by God to manage, you may never understand the decisions I’ve made. I may not even comprehend them all. I struggle to balance the feelings of my duty to family, to the people…
Alma – Being born of God
Post by Alma – I see Ammon attempted to relate our visit from his astonished view point. Permit me to relate this experience from a different viewpoint, a viewpoint of absolute horror and astonishing wonder. My father Alma and his priests, King Mosiah, and many others dedicated themselves to fasting and prayers for two…
Is Amulon’s Wickedness rewarded?
Post by Helam – Permit me to share the account of our bondage and brutal treatment by Amulon. When we felt safe, we settled into a beautiful land and began to build a city. The land was called after me, the land of Helam. The city we built was called the city of Helam. That choice…
