Mosiah 23:27-28
But Alma went forth and stood among them, and exhorted them
that they should not be frightened, but that they should remember the Lord
their God and he would deliver them. Therefore they hushed their fears.
Brother Crockett
3 Nephi 27:20
Now this is the commandment: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day.
The phrase "sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost" has been a study topic for me this week. Having the gift of the Holy Ghost literally separates us from the rest of the world.
Brother Gibby
D&C 33:17
Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom.
This scripture sums up one reason why we study the scriptures. If our lamps are burning, we need to keep adding oil.
Brother Burton
3 Nephi 19:33
And the multitude did hear and do bear record; and their hearts were open and they did understand in their hearts the words which he prayed.
This was a good reminder to me of where we need to seek for understanding. As we humbly open our hearts to the Lord and push aside the natural man, we will be able to understand his words given to us through the Spirit or through his chosen prophets & apostles.
