Oh how I love The Book of Mormon! From the time I was little our family read it and my father and grandfather explained it to us. It truly is the handbook for our times. I just began reading it again this month. Not sure how many times I’ve read it, I’ve lost count, but each time I do my testimony of its truthfulness grows stronger.
Have you seen what Darin Southam is doing to spread the message of The Book of Mormon? https://reignmovie.com/ It’s really amazing and inspiring!
Recently our oldest son was telling me how many of his peers, returned missionaries, church attending, educated at BYU, do not see the connection between what is happening now and what happened in ancient America. Too many don’t believe there are secret combinations, or that socialism is evil. They trust the government and don’t believe it is filled with those who want to destroy the constitution and enslave us. It reminds me of the words of Mormon: “O ye fair ones, how could ye have departed from the ways of the Lord!” And the words of Jacob: “O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish. But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God.” As the prophets have said, we need to awaken from our spiritual slumber and get to work to preserve our nation.
Thank you for sharing this. So many good reminders. I miss Pres Hinckley & Pres. Benson’s teaching.
