Come Follow Me: D&C 3-5

My blog post on Come Follow Me: D&C 3-5


Excerpt:In section 3, Joseph Smith is again chastised for not having his “eye single to the glory of God” and “fearing man more than God.”The Lost 116 Pages of manuscript were probably as much as 300 pages, according to Don Bradley in his book, “The Lost 116 Pages.” It contained the writings of Lehi and everything that Mormon had abridged of the large plates of Nephi from Lehi through the ministry of King Benjamin. Our current Book of Mormon has just over 500 pages. Imagine losing half of that amount, due to not listening to the Lord!

No wonder the Lord called Martin Harris a “wicked man.” Yet, how often have we done something similar?
