2 Nephi 1: 1-4
 
After Nephi had ended his teachings about the words of Isaiah, his father spoke, reminding Nephi and his brethren of the many tender mercies of the Lord in bringing them out of Jerusalem. The journey had not been easy and much sacrifice of comfort and trials of faith had been experienced, but NOW they stood in the land of promised. Father Lehi asked his family to reflect back on all the Lord had done for them, how merciful the Lord had been.
What a perfect time of year for us to do the same. To recognize that the trials we experienced, the stretching moments, and the trials of our faith may truly have been for our benefit. What tender mercies did the Lord give to you to make you mighty and deliver you. What you may have been once happy to escape from with the close of 2018 may have just been the perfect lesson to help you in your "Becoming" for 2019.

Alma 62-63We are wrapping up the Book of Alma in this episode and the principle of UNITY is what stands out to me.Mormon points out to us that it is the influence of the righteous who lived amongst the Nephites who enabled them to conquer their enemies and finally drive out the Lamanites.In our lives, when contention arises and there is a difference of perspective, how can we strive to seek after righteousness?I believe the examples of Pahoran, Captain Moroni, and the other Nephites who flocked to them for the cause of Liberty show us the power of the prinicple of Unifying or Uniting with one another.Though anger weakens our unity with each other, what blessings does Unity bring?In these final chapters we can see that Unifying brings stability, healing, and synergy.What does unity require? It requires acceptance, but what does the spirit of unity enable us with? The ability to allow God to intervene on our behalf and allow His grace to heal and accomplish what we cannot do on our own.Without the Lord's strength, the Nephites could not have done what they did on their own - they were out numbered and often found themselves weakened by the dissent of their own brethren, but the Lord's grace still enabled them to be victorious when they unified under the cause of liberty and exercised faith in Jesus Christ.

Episode 160: Walls Built By Their Own Hands

Alma 43-63 "The War Chapters"What impact can one very wicked man have upon a people? According to Mormon, if they are quick to forget their God - he can have quite an influence over them.We see this in the three examples that are discussed in this episode. All three are driven by their anger and they use flattery, deception, and fraud to achieve their desires.There are so many voices that are competing for our attention today. How can you tell if they are worth listening to and following? My intent is to give you some wisdom on how to discern.
