As disciples of Christ, we can prepare emotionally for the upcoming challenges by developing emotional resiliency.

Or perhaps you wonder why it matters since it occurred in the last dispensation before the great apostasy. On March 27, 1836, at the dedication of the Kirtland Temple, events occurred that were readily compared by those who were there to what was experienced in Acts 2 at Pentecost.

Love Thy Neighbor

Spiritual / latterdaydisciples

King Benjamin’s people did not cry with one voice—they did not become one—because their neighbor changed. The people became one because they viewed themselves in their own carnal state—saw their own weakness and sin—and cried out to God to change them.

Three P’s of the Abrahamic Covenant

Spiritual / latterdaydisciples

If you are following along with the Come Follow Me lessons, you know that over the next couple of weeks we are going to be studying the Abrahamic Covenant.

Knowing a little more about his story helps give us some context about this Covenant
