Alma : 8 - Christ-like Love
PoeticIntensity
It's good to be back. I feel like I really got a lot out of this chapter. It could be simply because this chapter has a couple of verses which always seem to prick my heart. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway...
It seems this chapter is all about love. One of the verses found here is so poignant, it pricks my heart every time...

Memory Retention and Service

An interesting concept was brought up during an interesting class I had on Sunday.
Last year, I went to the normal gospel doctrine class almost all year and enjoyed almost every class. We had a fabulous teacher who really brought the class alive with discussion about interesting concepts. Never once was a spirit of contention fall up...

Alma : 7

I just finished reading Alma 7 and, once again, am in a state of mind which makes it hard to actually get any spiritual nourishment from it. I'm not entirely sure what's going on with me now-a-days, but I don't really like it all that much.
Anyway... Here goes with what I got from the chapter (it being among the best chapters in the ...

Alma : 6
PoeticIntensity
Once quite awhile ago, my brother came to me and asked me why we go to church, and where is the doctrine concerning church attendance. In addition to Moroni 6 : 4-6, I also gave him Alma 6 : 6.
Other than that, this seems to just be a transition verse from preaching in Zarahemla to preaching in Gideon.
It also speaks about membership of t...

I actually read this yesterday while I was about ready to fall asleep, so, I didn't write anything. However, I did make a goal last year to read through the entire Book of Mormon and write about each and every chapter, so here's what I remember about Alma 5.
Within the first 3 verses, Alma makes it apparent that he is talking to the people ...

New Song - "Dance With Me"
PoeticIntensity

Well... Nothing too exciting in my life, but I thought I'd tell everyone that I wrote a new song. As you can probably guess, it's called Dance With Me. It's nothing more than a bass-line I came up with and a few more instruments.
I've gotta say though, Ryan Phillips, the guy on the guitar is awesome. I love working with him, an...

Reading this chapter with Mormon talking quite frankly to the reader of his book is really quite inspirational. The later verses of this chapter would be ones to really dig at and lean into every word which is written.

I'm so grateful for our church. I...

I noticed in this chapter that even though many threatenings were made to the king of the land of Jershon (most likely an Ammonite), he didn't seem to care at all. His concentration was on the many poor people of the Zoramites who were coming to his city.
