April 17- Doctrine & Covenants 39:7&11 Apr 17, 2021

In these scriptures the Lord reassures James Covel that He has seen his works and knows him. The same is true for us. He knows our works and our desires and who we are. Because He knows us and our works He promises us certain blessings, but something that I think often times we misunderstand is that those blessings that he mentions to us aren't a fortune of what our future holds, rather is is a promises of the blessings that CAN be ours as we follow His divine guidance.

In these verses, the Lord invites James Covel to become His son through covenants with Him. Which raises the question, "Aren't we all son's and daughters of God? Why do we need to make covenants to receive that distinction?" Today we will talk about what that means to be the Lord's son or daughter and what blessings are promised to us as we enter into that relationship with Him.

Today as we start into section 39 we learn about a man who we never would have heard about if it weren't for this section. James Covel was a Methodist minister who covenanted that he would follow whatever revelation was given to him by the prophet Joseph. However, when the Lord told him to be baptized and preach the gospel James' conviction faltered, and by the net day he had returned to the Methodist faith and had broken his covenant. Are we sometimes guilty of the same thing? Of over promising and under delivering for the Lord? How can we develop faith sufficient to follow the Lord, even when we don't understand?

Yesterday we talked about the scripture "for your salvation I give unto you a commandment," and how it applies generally with all of God's commandments. Today we take a look at the specific commandments that the Lord was giving the saints. The commandments to come together, to love one another and to be one. Why is our unity important to the Lord, and how can we develop greater unity as saints today?

April 13- Doctrine & Covenants 38:16 Apr 13, 2021

Show notes

This scripture says that for our salvation God gives us commandments. This is absolutely true. The commandments protect us and as we live them they change our hearts. However I think, when talking about obedience, it is important to remember that we are not saved BY our obedience to the commandments. We obey, and that obedience makes us more like the Savior, but in all things we are saved by Christ and through Christ and because of Christ.

In section 38, as the Lord is again commanding the saints to gather in Ohio, He makes reference to a parable the Savior taught in Matthew 13. He talks about gathering to Ohio because the world was corrupt and that the tares would be gathered in and destroyed. In the Savior's parable he talks about gathering the wheat and bringing them to safety first. It made me think about how invested the Lord is in our lives. We live in a mixed wheat and tares world, but it is my belief that our Heavenly Father is anxious to protect and bless us. Even gather us into the safe places so that we can be made strong.

Doctrine & Covenants 37 Apr 11, 2021

This section is the first time we hear about the saints move to Ohio. He asks them to do a really hard thing. Often times in our lives the Lord asks us to move, or to change or to grow. He asks hard things of us for the purpose of growing us or making us better. But I love what we can learn in verse 4 where the Lord says, "Here is wisdom, and let everyman choose for himself." The Lord will never force His will on us, he will never make us change. But He invites us to move so that He can make us more.

"My arm is not shortened." This is such a comforting doctrine to me, to know that the Lord is still reaching into our lives and the lives of those we love, to bless and strengthen and help us. But what the Lord teaches Sydney Rigdon here is so similar to what President Nelson taught us a week ago It is BY FAITH that we can seen those miracles and BY FAITH that we can work those miracles.

April 9- Doctrine & Covenants 35:1-4 Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

Sydney Rigdon is told that he was prepared to assist in this great work in the same way that John was sent to prepare the way for the Savior. In like manner President Nelson has told the youth of the church that they have been sent to Earth at this time to prepare the world for the Saviors 2nd coming. Are we doing all we can do to help them fulfill this foreordained mission?

April 8- Doctrine & Covenants 31:9 Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

Often times I think we use the words humility and meekness as synonyms, but they don't mean the same thing. I am a giant word nerd, and when two words are found together I LOVE to study what they each mean. And often times in the scriptures meekness and humility are right next to each other. So I studied them... a lot! And here is what I have discovered. Humility is more often the attitude with which we govern ourselves before God, whereas meekness is more often the attitude with which we govern ourselves with our fellow man. Meekness is all about how we react and respond to others.
