7d ago8:22

8:22

One of the coolest scripture study skills is to place your name in the scriptures in place of another individual and see how it sounds. Well, there are 60 people mentioned by name in D&C 124 as Nauvoo is being organized. Did all of them stay faithful to their promised blessings?

BOM-BITES Episode #1419 - D&C 121-123 (intro part one) Experiences Prior to Liberty Jail 12:07

19d ago12:07

12:07

The Liberty Jail sections (D&C 121-123) are sacred territory in my opinion. So much goodness and instruction.

BOM-BITES Episode #1411 - D&C 112 (part two) “If they harden not their hearts…I will heal them” 10:24

1M ago10:24

10:24

If soft hearts and “unstiff” necks can bring conversion (D&C 112:13), then hard hearts and stiff necks can bring apostasy. Sadly, some of these early members of the church fell right into that pattern. A good lesson for us today! If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here!By BOMSocks

BOM-BITES Episode #1396 - D&C 102 The High Council - “settling important difficulties” 5:53

2M ago5:53

5:53

In the midst of all of the Zion’s Camp craziness, the church in Kirtland still needs to grow and stay organized. Hence, D&C 102. When difficulties arise, it’s good to have that High Council to help “settle” those matters - all in an effort to help a member grow closer to Christ. 😇 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here!…

2M ago7:16

7:16

In preparation for this week of CFM study, I want to jump back to one of the Savior’s little known parables in D&C 101 that I call “The parable of the empty field” or simply “The Parable of Why?”. If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here!By BOMSocks

2M ago14:56

14:56

D&C 101 is a wonderful section with a lot going on (hence the almost 15 minute episode today), but trials and adversity are such universal topics, that when they happen - one can’t help to ask the question “WHY?” If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here!By BOMSocks

BOM-BITES Episode #1388 - D&C 98 (Intro) “In consequence of the persecution” 8:48

2M ago8:48

8:48

This week we start to see some of the most intense persecution of the Saints. Why did the Missourians hate the “Mormons” so much? With a little bit of context, we find that it was all about R.E.S.P.E.C.T. If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here!By BOMSocks

With all the great stuff in D&C 94-95 and 97, I really have never really done anything special with D&C 96….until today. There is a very relevant principle for our day here and I hope you enjoy it…well, sort of… 😂 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here!By BOMSocks
