From Come Follow Me:
"The first time Samuel the Lamanite tried to share “glad tidings” in Zarahemla (Helaman 13:7), he was rejected and cast out by the hard-hearted Nephites. You might say it was as if they had built an impenetrable wall around their hearts that prevented them from receiving Samuel’s message. Samuel understood the importance of the message he bore and demonstrated faith by following God’s commandment “that he should return again, and prophesy” (Helaman 13:3). Like Samuel, we all encounter walls as we “prepare the way of the Lord” (Helaman 14:9) and strive to follow His prophets. And like Samuel, we too bear witness of Jesus Christ, “who surely shall come,” and invite all to “believe on his name” (Helaman 13:6; 14:13). Not everyone will listen, and some may actively oppose us. But those who believe in this message with faith in Christ find that it truly is a message of “glad tidings of great joy” (Helaman 16:14)."

From Come Follow Me:
"Nephi’s father, Helaman, had urged his sons to “remember, remember.” He wanted them to remember their ancestors, remember the words of the prophets, and most of all, remember “our Redeemer, who is Christ” (see Helaman 5:5–14). It’s clear that Nephi did remember because this is the same message he declared years later “with unwearyingness” to the people (Helaman 10:4). “How could you have forgotten your God?” he asked (Helaman 7:20). All of Nephi’s efforts—preaching, praying, performing miracles, and petitioning God for a famine—were attempts to help the people turn to God and remember Him. In many ways, forgetting God is an even bigger problem than not knowing Him. And it’s easy to forget Him when our minds are distracted by “the vain things of this world” and clouded by sin (Helaman 7:21; see also Helaman 12:2). But, as Nephi’s ministry shows, it’s never too late to remember and “turn … unto the Lord your God” (Helaman 7:17)."

From Come Follow Me:
"The book of Helaman records both triumphs and tragedies among the Nephites and Lamanites. It begins with “a serious difficulty among the people of the Nephites” (Helaman 1:1), and the difficulties keep coming throughout the record. Here we read about political intrigue, bands of robbers, rejection of the prophets, and pride and disbelief throughout the land. But we also find examples like Nephi and Lehi and “the more humble part of the people,” who not only survived but thrived spiritually (Helaman 3:34). How did they do it? How did they stay strong while their civilization began to decline and fall apart? The same way any of us stay strong in the “mighty storm” the devil sends to “beat upon [us]”—by building our lives “upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, … a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall” (Helaman 5:12)."

From Come Follow Me:
"When compared with the Lamanite armies, Helaman’s “little army” (Alma 56:33) of young men shouldn’t have stood a chance. Besides being few in number, Helaman’s soldiers “were all … very young,” and “they never had fought” (Alma 56:46–47). In some ways, their situation might seem familiar to those of us who sometimes feel outnumbered and overwhelmed in our latter-day battle against Satan and the forces of evil in the world.
But the army of Helaman had some advantages over the Lamanites that had nothing to do with numbers or military skill. They chose Helaman, a prophet, to lead them (see Alma 53:19); “they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them” (Alma 56:47); and they had “exceeding faith in that which they had been taught.” As a result, they were protected by “the miraculous power of God” (Alma 57:26). So when facing life’s battles, we can take courage. Helaman’s army teaches us that “there [is] a just God, and whosoever [does] not doubt, [will] be preserved by his marvelous power” (Alma 57:26)."

From Come Follow Me:
"When we read these words at the beginning of Alma chapter 43—“And now I return to an account of the wars between the Nephites and the Lamanites”—it’s natural to wonder why Mormon included these war stories when he had limited space on the plates (see Words of Mormon 1:5). It’s true that we have our share of wars in the latter days, but there is value in his words beyond the descriptions of the strategy and tragedy of war. His words also prepare us for the war in which “we are all enlisted” (Hymns, no. 250), the war we are fighting each day against the forces of evil. This war is very real, and the outcome affects our eternal lives. Like the Nephites, we are inspired by a holy cause—“our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children”—what Moroni called “the cause of the Christians” (Alma 46:12, 16)."

From Come Follow me:
"When someone we love has made a serious mistake, it can be hard to know how to respond. Part of what makes Alma 39–42 so valuable is that it reveals how Alma—a disciple of Christ who once had his own grievous sins to repent of—handled such a situation. Alma’s son Corianton had committed sexual sin, and Alma, as he had learned to do in his ministry, trusted the power of true doctrine to give his son an eternal perspective and encourage repentance (see Alma 4:19; 31:5). In these chapters, we observe Alma’s boldness in condemning sin and his tenderness and love for Corianton. And ultimately, we sense Alma’s confidence that the Savior “shall come to take away the sins of the world [and] declare glad tidings of salvation unto his people” (Alma 39:15). The fact that Corianton repented and eventually returned to the work of the ministry (see Alma 49:30) can give us hope for forgiveness and redemption when we are troubled about our own sins or the sins of someone we love (see Alma 42:29)."

"When Alma saw wickedness around him, he felt deep “sorrow,” “tribulation,” and “anguish of soul” (Alma 8:14). “Wickedness among this people,” he said of the Zoramites, “doth pain my soul” (Alma 31:30). He felt something similar after returning from his mission to the Zoramites—he observed that the hearts of many of the Nephites “began to wax hard, and that they began to be offended because of the strictness of the word,” and this made his heart “exceedingly sorrowful” (Alma 35:15). What did Alma do about what he saw and felt? He didn’t simply become discouraged or cynical about the state of the world. Instead, “he caused that his sons should be gathered together” and taught them “things pertaining unto righteousness” (Alma 35:16). He taught them that “there is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ. … Behold, he is the word of truth and righteousness” (Alma 38:9)."

From Come Follow Me:
"For the Zoramites, prayer consisted of standing where all could see and repeating empty, self-satisfied words. The Zoramites lacked faith in Jesus Christ—even denied His existence—and persecuted the poor (see Alma 31:9–25). By contrast, Alma and Amulek taught that prayer has more to do with what happens in our hearts than on a public platform. And if we do not show compassion toward people in need, our prayer is “vain, and availeth … nothing” (Alma 34:28). Most important, we pray because we have faith in Jesus Christ, who offers redemption through His “infinite and eternal sacrifice” (Alma 34:10). Such faith, Alma explained, starts with humility and a “desire to believe” (Alma 32:27). Over time, with constant nourishment, the word of God takes root in our hearts until it becomes “a tree springing up unto everlasting life” (Alma 32:41)."

From Come Follow Me:
“The accounts in Alma 30–31 clearly demonstrate the power of words—for evil and for good. The “flattering” and “great swelling words” of a false teacher named Korihor threatened to bring “many souls down to destruction” (Alma 30:31, 47). Similarly, the teachings of a Nephite dissenter named Zoram led a whole group of people to fall “into great errors” and “pervert the ways of the Lord” (Alma 31:9, 11).
In contrast, Alma had unwavering faith that the word of God would have a “more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else” (Alma 31:5). Alma’s words expressed eternal truth and drew upon the powers of Jesus Christ to silence Korihor (see Alma 30:39–50), and they invited His blessing on those who went with him to bring the Zoramites back to the truth (see Alma 31:31–38). These are valuable examples for followers of Christ today when false messages are common. We can find truth by trusting, as Alma did, “the virtue of the word of God” (Alma 31:5).”

From Come Follow Me:
"Do you sometimes wonder whether people can really change? Maybe you worry about whether you can overcome poor choices you’ve made or bad habits you’ve developed, or you may have similar worries about loved ones. If so, the story of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies can help you. These people were the sworn enemies of the Nephites. When the sons of Mosiah decided to preach the gospel to them, the Nephites “laughed [them] to scorn.” Killing the Lamanites seemed like a more plausible solution than converting them. (See Alma 26:23–25.)
But the Lamanites did change—through the converting power of Jesus Christ. They were once known as “a hardened and a ferocious people” (Alma 17:14), but they became “distinguished for their zeal towards God” (Alma 27:27). In fact, they “never did fall away” (Alma 23:6).
Maybe you have some thoughts or actions to change or “weapons of … rebellion” to lay down (Alma 23:7). Or maybe you just need to be a little more zealous toward God. No matter what changes you need, Alma 23–29 can give you hope that through the atoning power of Jesus Christ, long-lasting change is possible."

From Come Follow Me:
"Think of all the reasons people might give for not sharing the gospel: “I don’t know enough” or “I’m not sure they would be interested” or maybe “I’m afraid I’ll be rejected.” Maybe you’ve found yourself thinking similar things at times. The Nephites had an additional reason for not sharing the gospel with the Lamanites: they were described as “a wild and a hardened and a ferocious people; a people who delighted in murdering the Nephites” (Alma 17:14; see also Alma 26:23–25). But the sons of Mosiah had an even stronger reason why they felt they must share the gospel with the Lamanites: “They were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish” (Mosiah 28:3). This love that inspired Ammon and his brothers can also inspire you to share the gospel with your family, friends, and acquaintances—even those who may not seem likely to accept it."

From Come Follow me:
"In many ways, life in Ammonihah had been good for both Amulek and Zeezrom. Amulek was “a man of no small reputation,” with “many kindreds and friends” and “much riches” (Alma 10:4). Zeezrom was an expert lawyer who enjoyed “much business” (Alma 10:31). Then Alma arrived with an invitation to repent and “enter into the rest of the Lord” (Alma 13:16). For Amulek, Zeezrom, and others, accepting this invitation required sacrifice and even led to almost unbearable adversity.
But of course the story doesn’t end there. In Alma 13–16, we learn what ultimately happens to people who believe “in the power of Christ unto salvation” (Alma 15:6). Sometimes there’s deliverance, sometimes healing—and sometimes things don’t get any easier in life. But always, “the Lord receiveth [His people] up unto himself, in glory” (Alma 14:11). Always, the Lord grants “power, according to [our] faith … in Christ” (Alma 14:28). And always, that faith gives us “hope that [we] shall receive eternal life” (Alma 13:29). As you read these chapters, you can take comfort in these promises, and you may come to understand better what Alma meant when he spoke of entering into “the rest of the Lord” (Alma 13:16)."

"God’s work will not fail. But our efforts to help with His work sometimes seem to fail—at least, we may not immediately see the outcomes we hope for. We might feel a little like Alma when he preached the gospel in Ammonihah—rejected, spit on, and cast out. Yet when an angel instructed him to go back and try again, Alma courageously “returned speedily” (Alma 8:18), and God prepared the way before him. Not only did He provide Alma with food to eat and a place to stay, but He also prepared Amulek, who became a fellow laborer, a fierce defender of the gospel, and a faithful friend. When we face setbacks and disappointments as we serve in the Lord’s kingdom, we can remember how God supported and led Alma, and we can trust that God will support and lead us too, even in difficult circumstances."

The book of Job: “Truth or Meta-truth?..

Some thoughts on the book of Job, from this week’s ‘Come Follow Me’ lesson… Is the book of Job in the Old Testament a historically accurate account of real events? Was Job even a real person?!? Why does it matter?.. 🤷‍♂️

Doctrine & Covenants 45, The Promises Shall Be Fulfilled, The Second Coming of Jesus, Come Follow Me

This week we discuss the second coming of our Savior Jesus Christ. The early saints were feeling more and more ridicule and persecution. They began to fear man and doubt. There were many false stories and rumors spread about to prevent people from investigating the church. The Lord provided this revelation to help them know that He was in control and that the signs that were to come would also be a sign of blessings to come. We discuss how Christ is the our advocate! We discuss the parable of the 10 virgins and what that means to us in our day. We also discuss how Satan will be bound during the millennium and what it is that actually binds him. Is it physical chains, or spiritual chains through the righteousness of the people.

Doctrine & Covenants 3-5, My Work Shall Go Forth, Come Follow Me, Did Martin Harris Lose His Soul

This week we discuss the the many difficulties that Joseph Smith faced in the early stages of translating the gold plates delivered to him by Moroni. Emma Smith served as Joseph's Scribe early on. Martin Harris, having desires to be a part of God's work also assisted as Joseph's scribe. Martin faced heavy pressures from his family about his being fooled by a young man who wanted only to take his money. Martin, strongly desiring to convince his family, wanted some type of proof or evidence to show them. After asking the Lord on 3 different occasions, Joseph finally gains permission and gives the 116 pages of manuscripts. Emma gives birth, unfortunately, the baby does not survive. Martin Loses the manusript and then has to tell Joseph. Joseph Loses the ability to translate as Moroni takes the gold plates and the Urim and Thummim back. Joseph's world seems to be crashing down around him as several things go wrong all about the same time. Joseph, instead of turning away, turns to the Lord with a humble and repentant heart and pleads for forgiveness. Within a couple of months, Moroni appears to Joseph again delivering the Urim & Thummim for Joseph to receive a revelation. He then obtains the plates and again begins to translate. How much blame can we put on Martin's inability to take no for an answer or his losing of the 116 pages. How much blame can we put on Joseph for giving into Martin's requests. I don't think we can blame them at all. If we look honestly, we see a lot of ourselves in both of these men. Joseph is still learning to be a prophet, seer, and revelator. Martin has strong desires to be involved but is still learning his place. Martin is 20 years older than Joseph and tends to rely upon his own understanding rather than the directions of Joseph as they come from God. Join us as we seek to learn from these great men as they make mistakes that probably all of us would have made and do make.

Doctrine & Covenants 77 - 80, I Will Lead You Along, Come Follow Me

Doctrine & Covenants 89 - 92, A Principle With Promise, Come Follow Me

Come Follow Me Summary:In the School of the Prophets, the Prophet Joseph Smith taught the elders of Israel about building God’s kingdom on earth. They discussed spiritual truths, prayed together, fasted, and prepared to preach the gospel. But there was something about the atmosphere that might seem odd to us today, and it didn’t seem right to Emma Smith either. During the meetings, the men smoked and chewed tobacco, which wasn’t unusual for the time, but it stained the wood floors black and left a strong odor in the air. Emma shared her concerns with Joseph, and Joseph asked the Lord. The result was a revelation that went far beyond smoke and tobacco stains. It gave the Saints, for generations to come, “a principle with promise”—promises of physical health, “wisdom,” and “great treasures of knowledge” (Doctrine and Covenants 89:3, 19).

Doctrine & Covenants 20 - 22, The Rise of The Church of Christ, Come Follow Me

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is organized on April 6, 1830. Although, it would take 8 years before a revelation was given that the church would be named that. Joseph was known as the first Elder of the church and Oliver Cowdery was known as the second Elder of the church. Joseph is officially called as the prophet of church and the world. Although prophets receive revelation from God, they also have their own opinions as well. When they speak, they sometimes speak their own opinion and its not necessarily revelation from God. The duties and blessings of the priesthood as well as the offices of the priesthood are outlined. The law of common consent is revealed Check out our website https://www.saintsinthesouth.com/

Heidi Simpson, How she maintains her physical, mental, & spiritual strength living the gospel

Heidi Simpson readily admits that she did not grow up dreaming of being a mother. She didn't dream of days when she would have a house full of rambunctious children running around creating a bunch of "happy" chaos. However, that's exactly what she got. The Lord had different plans for her. As most mothers do, she has sacrificed some temporal pursuits of her own to be the rock of her family. A rock that is needed when raising 4 children, 2 of which are on the autism spectrum. With her hard working husband, Thomas, gone much of the time during the day providing for the family, she provides the direction and care at home their children need. Heidi shares some experiences of discovering and raising autistic children, She shares an experience of when the spirit really shook her to help her know that their second child was being sent to them at time when they needed her. Heidi also talks about her evolution of fitness and what she has been able to allow herself to become rather than following the pressures of the world. Heidi's family has lived in several areas of the country experiencing gospel living in many places. She had a strong family foundation that raised her strong in the church but also admits that she is a little jealous of her husband who was not raised in the church. She does not mean that in a negative way, but in a personal growth way. Heidi speaks to how she and Thomas have been able to travel this road together while figuring things out along the way, especially when it came to raising their family with all of the dynamics involved. She offers some tips on what not say and how not to interact with a family that has autistic children. Finally, she talks about how they find joy in living the gospel of Jesus Christ. One's thing is for sure, Heidi is proud of her family and the legacy they are leaving as they blaze their trail in this world!!

Episode 1 - 1 Nephi 16-22

Join us as Saints in the South discuss the continuing journey of Lehi and his family through the wilderness. They continue to face challenges and hardships such as hunger, loss of hunting equipment, family contention, and fatigue. So much so that the prophet Lehi, even begins to murmur. Nephi's faith and example pull them through as they build a ship and cross the waters to the promised land. How can we learn from Nephi's example? What can we learn from Laman and Lemuel's complaining? Does the Lord really always provide a way?

Doctrine & Covenants 94 - 97. For the Salvation of Zion, Come Follow Me

Join us this week as Marcus and Jackson discuss the call of The Lord for Joseph to move the church forward in building a Temple, The House of The Lord. When the Lord commanded Moses to build a tabernacle, He told Moses to “make all things according to the pattern shewed to [him] in the mount” (Hebrews 8:5; see also Exodus 25:8–9). The tabernacle was to be the center of Israel’s wilderness camp (see Numbers 2:1–2). Later, God commanded Solomon and his people to build a temple according to a pattern He revealed (see 1 Chronicles 28:12, 19).As the Lord restored the fulness of the gospel, He commanded Joseph Smith to build temples according to a revealed pattern. “Let the house be built, not after the manner of the world,” the Lord declared. “Let it be built after the manner which I shall show” (Doctrine and Covenants 95:13–14; see also 97:10). Like the tabernacle in the wilderness, the temple was meant to be a central feature in Kirtland (see Doctrine and Covenants 94:1).Today houses of the Lord are found around the world. Even if they are not at the center of our cities, they can be central in our lives. Though each temple differs in appearance, within them we learn the same divine pattern—a heavenly plan to bring us back into the presence of God. Sacred, eternal ordinances help us build our lives and strengthen our families “not after the manner of the world” but after the pattern God shows us.

Come Follow Me - Book of Mormon - Helaman 7 - 12

“Remember the Lord” We begin this week in the sixty and ninth year of the reign of the judges.. We see that prophets communicate the will of God to the world... Nephi is rejected in the north and returns to Zarahemla. He prays upon his garden tower, he testifies of Christ just as all of God’s prophets before him have also done, and calls upon the people to repent. Corrupt judges who belong to the secret band of Gadianton seek to incite the people against Nephi and bend the laws of the land to fit their own corrupt desires. Nephi prophesies the murder of the chief judge and by inspiration correctly identifies the killer. Some of the people then begin to accept him as a prophet, but we see that faith must be built on more than signs and miracles... The Lord gives Nephi sealing priesthood power to bind and loose on earth and in heaven. He commands the people to repent or perish. Nephi then persuades the Lord to replace the war with a famine?!?.. Many people perish—then they repent, and Nephi petitions the Lord for rain! We see that The Lord wants us to remember Him; He gives power to those who seek His will and keep His commandments. Chapter 12 concludes with Nephi prophesying to the people that the righteous will inherit eternal life, while those who do evil will reap eternal damnation.
