3 Nephi : 18
PoeticIntensity
Sometimes I read the scriptures because doing so fills me with the Spirit. Today was one of those times. I need the spirit tonight.
This chapter is loaded with details on the Sacrament and serving the Sacrament in congregations.
Favorite verse was 32, "Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out of your synagogues, or your places ...

3 Nephi : 17
PoeticIntensity
Wow... 3rd Nephi 17. This has been one of my top 5 all-time favorite scriptural chapters since I first read it when I was 14. I love it.
The first 6 verses, to me, envelop the love Christ has for us, and the appreciation He must feel when we show our grattitude toward Him. There were no words uttered by his audience, yet H...

3 Nephi : 16
PoeticIntensity
Wow, it's been a long time since I last studied my scriptures.
The first thing which caught my attention is the phrase, "if it so be that my people at Jerusalem, they who have seen me and been with me in my ministry, do not ask the Father in my name, that they may receive a knowledge of you by the Holy Ghost". I guess that...

1st Nephi : 11 - Do You Believe?
PoeticIntensity
As soon as the angel of God knew Nephi's purpose and desire, the first question he asked him was "Do you believe?".
I think that's a fairly important question, which we should ask ourselves each day. If we are being tempted and we ask ourselves that question, to which we already know the answer, I can promise you the tempter's pow...
