I would suggest that this represents the pride that the Lord has
continually warned us about. The first and last thought I have on this
is:
The last shall be first and the first shall be last...

I wept when I learned of this sad news. Is something amiss
in the Church, that the Lord would allow one of his temples
to be destroyed?

It is sad, but I seriously doubt anything unusual is amiss.
I think there was a construction accident.

Before one's calling and election is made sure, one key step is
remission of sins through the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost. I
would venture that few there are that have sought after and received
this blessing that, according to 2 Nephi 31:17-18, is a requirement

This is what Enos received after his "wrestle with God" which took him
into the forest for a day and night of prayer. There are a number of
descriptions in the scriptures on this topic: Mosiah 4, Enos, 3Nephi
12:1-2, and one of my favorites, D&C39:6.
I don't think it is the same thing.

I watched a special on the biblical David last night on PBS. (By the
way, it was great to see Leonard Nimoy in the part of Samuel the
prophet.) They took some of the spiritual insights out of the story but
one item they did leave in was that God looks at the heart. It is by our
heart that he judges
I recently visited the ruins at Chichen Itza (sp). As most good tourists
do, I listened to the guide giving the standard pitch on the dating of
the pyramid and made the trek up the side of the structure to the top.
After enjoying the great view, I trundled down and went to the East side
of the pyra
Dear Zionisti,
For a long time I held to the idea that the Amerindians where, as
described in the Book of Mormon, solely the descendants of the Jaredites
and Lehites. I have had to change my thinking of late. Not because of
the DNA or any other feeble attempt by man to assign broad definitions

Here is a quote from Alma, chapter 7, that may help:
10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land
of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel,
who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost,
and bring forth a son, yea, even

I have thought a lot about your comments. While I haven't been on the

place. I don't know if you have ever read 'First Things First' by Covey,
but the book has given me new insights into the impact I allowed other

And why are they working? To get that second car, or the boat or the

If I were to vote, I would go for Elder Ballard's talk Sunday morning.
What better a topic than coming to know our Father in Heaven? Been a

>You can forgive someone and never associate with them again.
Can one's forgiveness be truly tested if there is no longer any
association with the offender? True forgiveness is marked by the ability
to show love and compassion in the face of hurt or offense.
Just a thought...

Not that I would want to minimize what happened with sidewalk sleeze,
but I would take it over marching into the Roman Coliseum to face the
lions... Been reading Foxe's Book of Martyrs and it wasn't a picnic.

Looking for a little assistance. While the revelation where the Lord
said that it didn't matter what was used in the Sacrament was given in
1830 (section 27), it appears that it was not generally applied to the
body of the church until later. Anyone have references as to when the
guidelines were e
Speaking of the versions of the Bible, I have a copy of the Hexapla.
This is a side by side of six different versions of the New Testament
including KJV, Geneva, Wycliffe and three others. I have found it very
interesting and thought provoking to read the different interpretations.

Having watched many converts come into church, having stood at some of
their baptisms and welcomed them into the ward, I have to say that this
is true for the social aspects of the ward. However, attendence at Club
Mormon is not what we will be judged on, in my opinion.
