Moroni : 7 - Part 1
PoeticIntensity
I am SO glad that Moroni kept writing. Can you imagine the Book of mormon without the last 4 chapters of Moroni? The depth of explanation of faith, hope, and charity? The blessing of Babies? The promise and invitation to read the Book of Mormon, used by all missionaries? Yeah... There are some gems here in ...

Moroni : 6
PoeticIntensity
This was a good chapter. Starts out stating that worthiness is necessary in order for baptism into the Lord's church:
bringing forth fruit of worthiness (not entirely sure what this means, specifically)
having a broken heart and contrite spirit, showing a witness of true repentance
taking upon yourself the name of Chris...

Moroni : 5
PoeticIntensity
Another very short one. If I understand it correctly, the prayer states that by partaking of the water, we are covenanting (or "witnessing") unto God that we will always remember Christ. I believe a few chapters ago, I wrote quite an entry on the importance of remembering. As evidenced by the inclusion of it in a w...

Moroni : 4
PoeticIntensity
I think these chapters are too short. Interesting to note that the scripture says that the elder or priest would "kneel down with the church", yet the congregation doesn't kneel down today.
Also interesting to note that the sacrament prayer is one of very few prayers which have to be said verbatim, and hasn't changed at all ...

Moroni 3. This one isn't speaking much to me, but I did find it interesting that only after they prayed, the disciples excercised their priesthood to ordain offices in the priesthood. ...and that it was done through endurance through faith on the name of Christ. Enduring to the end has always been pretty much the last key to...

PoeticIntensity
So, these chapters are pretty small, but for some reason, I think there's quite a significance in this one. Not quite sure if I've found it yet, but the reason I think this, is - originally, this text was not included in the scripture - and it is Christ talking himself. I wonder why Moroni felt the need, or was inspired to include it?&n...

Holy cow. I only have 10 more chapters to go, and I'll finish the goal I set 3 years ago, to read and write about each chapter in the Book of Mormon. I'm not sure why, but when I just realized that (like 1 minute ago), it was kind of surreal for me. Anyway... Here goes.

What a horrible end to this story. Poor Coriantumr.
