2nd Nephi : 10
PoeticIntensity
Oh, man... I'm still reeling from the video I watched earlier tonight. I've gotta read my scriptures, though, so.... Here we go.
From verse 3 to verse 6 causes me to ponder various questions.
If Jesus Christ is the Christ of only this world, then these verses tell us only of the wickedness of the particular nation which crucified ...

Fast Offerings
PoeticIntensity
About a month ago, our bishop told us that the fast offering fund for the poor people in our ward is running low, and that we should consider giving a generous offering.
I thought we should definitely consider doing so, but in the end, I forgot all about it.
Today, however, our Bishop dedicated the entire sacrament meeting to the topic of sacri...

2nd Nephi : 9 - Part 2
PoeticIntensity
The first verse which caught me in the reading of the last half of 2nd Nephi 9 was verse 39.
The question came to mind: "Why would God need to have us "remember" the awfulness of sin?" ... Well... The answer is quite simple, really. Because Satan laces all sorts of lies within the temptation of sin.&nbs...

2nd Nephi : 9 - Part 1
PoeticIntensity
Before I even begin reading this chapter, I've gotta let you know that this chapter intimidates me. It is so doctrinally rich, I'm seriously getting anxious just thinking about having to decipher its contents here and now. I know this anxiety is unfounded because I know that God answers prayers, and I've prayed, so... Let's get to it.

2nd Nephi : 8
PoeticIntensity
As I read this chapter, I found the question in my head, "why was Nephi prompted to put Isaiah in here?"
One thing I'm noticing in this chapter and the last, is the writing style of Isaiah is quite starkly contrasted against the writing of Nephi. It's wildly poetic.
I enjoyed this chapter as much as I did the last. I didn'...
