3 Nephi : 25 - Burn Like An Oven
PoeticIntensity
Among the discussions I've had of the scriptures, this one is always a fun one.
"When God says that the earth is gonna burn, does he mean it literally? Are the wicked really gonna burn at the second coming?"
Honestly, for me, I have enough scriptural evidence to convince me to respond in the affirmative.
Thoughts?
Also - I'm...

3 Nephi : 24
PoeticIntensity
Interesting that I should choose to read this today, because my wife and I were talking a bit about the 2nd coming last weekend. The second coming shall be like a "refiner's fire", which, of course, is meant to purify - or to burn out impurities. That which abides by the law is sanctified by the same. A talk I once heard...

Lucid 8 and Smooth Intentions

Well, we're heading down that road now, and it feels great. We have one song finished, with 5 more quickly getting wrapped up. Can't wait to see where these ...

Chapter 22 was another toughy, but I figure I'm gonna better my life if I read and am only able to type a tiny bit, rather than not read at all.

I found it interesting the bit about "more are the children of the de...

AudioGuru
So... I apologize for not having kept up-to-date with what's recently been going on, but I honestly haven't had the time! If I have to choose between recording music, or writing about recording music, I'll take the former, thank you very much.
So, this last week was booked solid - again. We saw a few regulars come in and a few new on...

I'm not sure if I can make it through this chapter one more time! I have no idea what's going o...

New Direction in Following Christ

I left the church after realizing that I am gay, and I don't want to change that. Lastnight.

that it is an awful sin, and as long as you don't act on it, youre okay.
I really don't believe that God would make 10% of...

So, in Gospel Doctrine, from time to time, we talk about praying, and how we're supposed to pray all the time, and then we get the comments that it's impossible to "pray" all the time, and then someone else says that we need to be praying "always" in our hearts. That's true, and verse 1 of this chapter is Jesus' commandmen...

Alma : 56 - Covenants
PoeticIntensity
With all that I've noticed about making covenants this time around, I can't help but notice that this chapter has some very interesting words.
I really do wonder where the line is with covenants we make. In the days of the Book of Mormon, people would rather die than lie or break a covenant. This is made abundantly clear with the eali...

Not sure why this caught my attention this time, but doesn't it seem a bit weird that Mormon was carried by his father when he was 11 years old? It seems like he was carried on somewhat of a journey, too - to a different land. Maybe his father was quite big and could accomplish such a task, because an 11-year-old isn't small enough to ...

Even before the speakers begin, I've gotta note that the music played and sung during this conference has moved me just as much as the speakers' messages have. Simply superb.
