Join us today as we begin the study of the Saviour's teachings to the inhabitants of the ancient Americas. We consider what we learn about real intent in our actions and we reflect on the differences between the Lord’s Prayer in the New Testament and the Book of Mormon. 

Joseph Fielding McConkie and Robert L Millet: “The problem is in the vainness, not in repetition. In how many different ways can we bless our food? How many original prayers—original in the sense of novel or unusual language—can we offer? God is not offended by repetition, so long as the words are spoken from the heart and are sincere. The heavens withdraw themselves, however, in the face of vanity. Something is vain when it is empty, meaningless, or hollow. Whenever our prayers are meaningless and thus become trite or ritualistic religious jargon, having no feeling or emanating from a duplicitous heart, they accomplish little.”

Join us today as we begin the study of the Saviour's teachings to the inhabitants of the ancient Americas. We consider the powerful lessons taught in these modified beatitudes and we reflect on the qualities of a true disciple. 

Book of Mormon Central: Far from asking us for the unattainable, when Christ told us to be perfect, He was simply calling us to do our sincere best. He wants us to make the covenants of baptism and the temple, and try to live up to those covenants to be completely dedicated to Him, as He is completely dedicated to doing the work of His Father. We can become perfect in the ways that God and Christ are perfect. To do this, we must live lives of consecrated dedication to God, as Christ did.

Bruce R McConkie: “This sermon is a recapitulation, a summary, and a digest of what men must do to gain salvation; and the eternal concepts in it are so stated that hearers (and readers) will get out of it as much as their personal spiritual capacity permits. To some it will point the way to further investigation; to others it will confirm and reconfirm eternal truths already learned from the scriptures and from the preachers of righteousness of their day; and to those few whose souls burn with the fires of testimony, devotion, and valiance, it will be as the rending of the heavens: light and knowledge beyond carnal comprehension will flow into their souls in quantities that cannot be measured. Every man must judge and determine for himself the effect [this sermon] will have upon him.”

Join us today as we reach the pinnacle of the Book of Mormon, the personal visitation of the Saviour Jesus Christ. We consider how we are invited to come unto Him and we reflect on the first moments of His ministry. 

Elder Jeffrey R Holland and Sister Patricia T Holland: “He speaks and says simply, with a voice that penetrates the very marrow of your bones, ‘I am Jesus Christ’.…

There it is—or, more correctly speaking, there he is. The focal point and principal figure behind every fireside and devotional and family home evening held by those Nephites for the last six hundred years….

Everyone has talked of him and sung of him and dreamed of him and prayed—but here he actually is. This is the day and yours is the generation. What a moment! But you find you are less inclined to check the film in your camera than you are to check the faith in your heart.”

Join us today as we reach the pinnacle of the Book of Mormon, the personal visitation of the Saviour Jesus Christ. We consider how we can better feel the promptings of the Holy Ghost and we reflect on the glorious coming of Christ. 

Boyd K Packer: “We do not have the words (even the scriptures do not have words) which perfectly describe the Spirit. The scriptures generally use the word voice, which does not exactly fit. These delicate, refined spiritual communications are not seen with our eyes, nor heard with our ears. And even though it is described as a voice, it is a voice that one feels, more than one hears.”

Today we continue with our study of 3 Nephi 8-11, where we move to Mormon's account of the great ministry of Christ. We consider the important role the scriptures should play in our lives and we reflect on the power of the still, small voice. 

Robert J Matthews: “Those who survived the tumult and witnessed these events were the more righteous ones. The wicked were slain in the destruction… After all these things had happened to them, they could not ever be casual or indifferent about the gospel of Jesus Christ and the true purpose of life. They were ready to see, hear, and participate in the personal ministry of Jesus, their Lord and Redeemer.”

Today we continue with our study of 3 Nephi 8-11, focusing on the final words of the Saviour from the heavens. We consider how He is wiling to gather us and we reflect on the power of repentance to change our nature. 

Elder Jeffrey R Holland: “Out of the darkness of destruction came the voice the Nephite nation had waited more than six hundred years to hear. ‘Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God,’ he said…. As should be expected, such an introductory pronouncement from the great Jehovah/Jesus himself is laden with doctrinal significance [see 3 Nephi 9:15-22]…. Concurrent with these and other such magnificent declarations, the darkness lifted and the earth ceased to tremble. The light of the world had come. The more righteous part of the people had been saved, through their obedience, and were now prepared to receive the visitation of the Son of God himself.”

Today we continue with our study of 3 Nephi 8-11, this time continuing with the Saviour's words to the inhabitants of the New World in the darkness. We consider how important the invitation to repent is and we reflect on how it works in our lives today. 

Joseph Fielding McConkie and Robert L Millet: President Ezra Taft Benson explained: "Most repentance does not involve sensational or dramatic changes, but rather is a step by step, steady and consistent movement toward godliness.’ . . . Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible.’”

Join us today as we begin our study of 3 Nephi 8-11, a significant section of the Book of Mormon. We consider how the events of Christ's death were experienced by these people and we reflect on the symbolism of the ensuing darkness. 

N Eldon Tanner: “Here another lesson is obvious. Throughout ecclesiastical history we find that those who rejected the prophets and failed to repent of their wickedness were struck by calamities which caused them literally to weep and to mourn and to regret their failure to heed the warnings of the prophets. We know that Christ was crucified and some of his apostles persecuted and stoned simply for trying to establish the kingdom of God and bring people to repentance and a happier way of life.

Today the world is rejecting the messages of the prophets of God. Is it not true that there is weeping and wailing over the face of the land because men are at war one with another? Do we not have among us many who lament the waywardness of their youth and the tragedies that befall them as they turn away from righteousness and suffer the consequences of tampering with alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, and other forbidden things? How many mourners do we have as a result of the lawlessness that is extant in our communities? We need to heed the lessons from the history of the past lest we be consumed as were some of those earlier civilizations.”
