My Brother’s Plan
PamelaGore
My brother and I are really close with each other. We usually go out of town with our parents. Since we only have each other (because we are the only children that our parents has), we see to it that we will have many happy memories with together. We have different likes and dislikes when it comes to having a fun time. He loves swimming and I don&r...

This chapter is great. All I gotta say is, if you follow the counsel of the Lord, all will be well.

3 Nephi : 3
PoeticIntensity
Okay... So the past few chapters, I've been ragging on how wishy-washy the average human soul must be in order for signs of the Messiah's birth to be taken so lightly...
Well... This chapter leads me to believe that there were still quite a few believers who held true through all of the dissenting.
The part I liked most about this chapter...

Ya know... I think these chapters are meant to teach us how frail the hearts of men are. Okay... Here's a good question.. How long did it take the Nephites to go from "seeing the sign of the birth of Jesus Christ" (this is *Christ* we're talking about here. *The Messiah*. How long did it take them from seeing that ...

So, we're starting 3rd Nephi. This should prove to be interesting.
The first thing I noticed was, again, how quickly (and stupidly) people make up excuses for that which is obviously true.

This chapter was interesting. The first thing I noticed is that Samuel had some serious insight as to things of God.

To start things off, I’ve been doing a bit of research on Christianity due to a friend I have at my place of employment.

One of the main on...

That's true, and verse 1 of this chapter is Jesus' commandmen...
