Nothing like this wave of evil has ever struck our world. Not in the days of Noa, not in the days of Sodom. This is the last time when the Earth is at its most ripe in iniquity. How do we protect our children from the onslaught of evil? The constant bombardment of messages of perversion, and the anti-American propaganda? The Book of Mormon is the remedy to all of it. The pages contain doctrine that is undefiled. Your child cannot read the book without having layers of scales fall off their eyes. The book will dispel evil, and teach the true doctrine of Christ. It will become a shield and protection against Satan and his minions. It will help the repentance process start, continue, and complete. It will soften, heal, cleanse, guide, teach, compel, invite, bring faith in Christ, and bring them into his fold. Nothing on earth has the power to dissolve the false teaching of today's society. The world is destined to burn, but your child is not. Give them the Book of Mormon. It will literally save them from the burning that is soon to reign down from the skies.

Think back - if you could name one period of time in your life that was the happiest, when would you say it was? Were you on vacation in a beautiful setting? Was it during the holidays, surrounded by loved ones? Was it a time when you were free of worries and concerns? In today's podcast, Karen, Kellie, and Roslyn discuss the book “Never A Happier Time” that describes the days of Moroni depicted in the war chapters in the Book of Mormon. One verse in Alma chapter 50 reads thus: “...behold there never was a happier time among the people of Nephi, since the days of Nephi, than in the days of Moroni…”* How could that be? The people were always either at war or preparing for war, and yet it could be said that there “never was a happier time” in their history? How is it possible? In this book, Reuben Aiton and Maurice Harker take the reader through the war chapters and share five key fighting strategies which they assure “always lead to victory.” Would you like a sure formula for winning your battles with the adversary? Is it possible that perhaps, once you begin using this formula, that even now while, as Elder Holland says, we are all at war, THIS might just be the happiest time of your life? Listen in and see! It could be you! Come check us out, and see if this is the time for you to enlist.

Truth #2 the atonement. End of story. Nothing added. The final word. Join us as we discuss salvation and the infinite atonement. The Mormons can't teach these truths because of the way they have strayed from the Book of Mormon substituting modern day revelation and teaching to supplant the plain gospel. The "Restoration has not taught these truths due to fear of "separation" or "contention" or because they have created God in their image as opposed to knowing Him as He is. They quickly left the new covenant even the Book of Mormon and the plain and precious gospel contained therein and were admonished that they would remain under this condemnation until they returned to the message contained in the Book of Mormon. We explore some of these plain and precious truths and why the Mormons can't teach them and perhaps why the "Restoration" has not. We have a beautiful gospel to teach us how to come to Christ. Let us explore these truths.

Christmas Lesson
December 21-27 This year we have an event in the skies that hasn’t happened since March 4, 1226, nearly 800 years ago. People have been calling it the “Christmas Star” or the “Star of Bethlehem. We’ll tell you what it in this episode. Photo Credit NASA/ Bill Ingalls
Moroni 10
December 14-20 I think it’s fascinating that Moroni starts out chapter 10 by saying that he’d like to send these words to his brethren, the Lamanites. That is a fascinating view of Moroni’s heart. He has seen the Lamanites completely destroy his nation. Because of the Lamanites, he remains alone. Because of the Lamanites, his father has been killed and all of his kinfolk and family are dead. Now, despite all this, he writes this most important message to his brethren, the Lamanites. How can any human be so full of the love of Christ?
Moroni 7-9
December 7-13 Moroni Chapter 7 is a powerful sermon on faith, hope, and charity given by Mormon, but when? You can't help but wonder. He was born in AD 310, was made a general at the age of 16 and knew war most of his life until he had seen his whole nation decimated. Was this sermon given at the time when he gave up leading the army? Isn't it fascinating that there were still enough faithful followers of Christ that he could preach in a synagogue? Who were these people and did they become wicked too, even with this powerful preaching? It is so hard to know, but what we do know is Moroni was wise to give us this significant teaching from his father.
Moroni 1-6
November 30-December 6 Moroni did not know when he would die, attacked by Lamanites or some other deadly surprise, in his 36-year wandering. He tells his latter-day readers goodbye more than once on the plates. Yet even living with that insecurity, not knowing his own mortal future, Moroni trudges on with absolute faith.
Ether 12-15
November 23-29 Moroni may complain about his weakness with words, but he has given us one of the most insightful chapters on faith in all of scripture. We will study it in this episode.
Ether 6-11
November 16-22 We go to a scene of spirits in the premortal world, anticipating. with perhaps some concern, their descent to a darkened world. We knew we would be taking a journey and must have wondered how we could make it across the wilderness where so much would be insecure.
Ether 1-5
November 9-15 Moroni told us in Mormon 8, “Behold, I would write…if I had room upon the plates, but I have not; and ore I have none”, so there is an untold story between these verses and the book of Ether. Somehow Moroni was able to get more ore and create plates because he gave us the marvelous book of Ether that introduces us to a whole new world.
Mormon 7-9
November 2-8 As we start our studies today on Mormon 7-9, Moroni has taken over the record from his father and is in a tragic position. He has seen his culture decimated and he is the last survivor of what was once a thriving world . Could anything be sadder than this?
Mormon 1-6
October 26-November 1 Every time I read the Book of Mormon and get to these chapters, I always hope that the Nephites will repent and that their civilization and people will be spared—and then it happens every time! They are destroyed. And then another entire civilization, the Jaredites, are destroyed for the same reasons. We can’t change their outcomes, but how about ours? Is there a message in here for us, right now, in our day?
3 Nephi 27-4 Nephi
October 19-25 When President Russell M. Nelson taught us that we needed to use the true name of the Church going forward, he was teaching us something deeper than we might have understood at the time. Something, in fact that can open up whole new realms of gospel understanding. Let’s explore that today.
3 Nephi 20-26
October 12-18 If you knew that the Lord Jesus Christ would spend the day with you and all who would come to the occasion from your home stake, what do you think He would teach you? What do you think He would do? What would be the most important truths He could communicate with you? What would YOU want to know from Him? Let’s explore these thoughts and explore the record of actual witnesses to such a day.
3 Nephi 17-19
September 28-October 11 Can you imagine the joy that would fill your souls if you were witnesses to the visitation of the Lord Jesus Christ? How could you possibly describe your feelings? How could you even handle the happiness that would overwhelm your whole being? The faithful who had gathered at the ancient temple in Bountiful had spent a number of hours with the Lord Jesus Christ and now it was time for Him to go. Carefully searching the record, we have some sense of how the people felt, but even more importantly we have an amazing view of the Savior’s joy, His compassion and His love for His people.
3 Nephi 12-16
September 21-27 If you were to do a survey to determine the most influential talk or sermon in history, surely the results would point to the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount. Here are contained the eternal “beatitudes;” here is contained the Lord’s Prayer spoken each week by untold millions of Christ’s followers throughout the world; here we have “the golden rule.” The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most densely packed three chapters in all of holy writ. As an added bonus, when the Lord visited His other sheep in the ancient Americas, one of the first things He did was gave the same Sermon on the Mount text with some additional insights. When the Lord purposely repeats something, I think He really wants our attention!
3 Nephi 8-11
September 14-20 How can you not be just thrilled with this week’s readings? The entire Book of Mormon has been centered on one Person—Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer—and His coming to the earth and the promised visit to this righteous branch of the tribe of Joseph in the Americas. Lehi testified He would come. Nephi saw Him in vision that He would come. Jacob gave bold witness of His mission and His coming. King Benjamin, Alma the Elder, Alma the Younger, Ammon, Aaron, Omner, Himni, Helaman—and many more—they all testified that HE, the Lord Jesus Christ, would come—and in this week’s exciting readings—HE CAME!
3 Nephi 1-7
September 7-13 I was just pondering very early this morning as I looked out the window: “What if at 4:00 in the morning on a fall day I looked out the window and it was as bright as day? Would my heart take a leap and would I think: What is going on?!” It was pitch dark when I peered out my window and yet, we have record of an event in this week’s reading, where untold thousands of people could not help but see this incredible, unforgettable sign of a day, a night and a day wherein there was no darkness. The righteous rejoiced and the wicked were struck with fear. We’re going to look at a lot of contrasts together in this week’s lesson.
Helaman 13-16
August 31-September 6 In the Book of Mormon, the Nephites always think of themselves as the good guys. In a movie, they’d ride in wearing the white hat or the gold star, signifying their goodness. Yet, the Book of Mormon demonstrates that often the Nephites are relentlessly blind to their own wickedness and it is the Lamanites who are the most faithful and true. Enter the scene into the wicked Nephite city of Zarahemla: Samuel the Lamanite. The point is clear.
Helaman 7-12
August 24-30 As Helaman chapter 7 opens, we see a prophet pleading with God for his people in great agony and heaviness of Spirit. The Gadianton robbers had usurped legitimate authority and taken over much of the government, the people have become corrupted and Nephi is deeply grieved for the wickedness which abounds. In a video for General Conference a little girl asked President Russell M. Nelson, “Is it hard to be a prophet? Are you, like, really busy?” He said, “Of course it’s hard.”
Helaman 1-6
August 17-23 In Helaman chapters 1-6, the Lamanites become the righteous and the Nephites the wicked. How does this switch come about? And the new enemy are the Gadianton robbers, who capture the allegiance of many of the Nephites. Things happen fast in the Book of Mormon, a roller coaster of righteousness and wickedness. I used to think it was hard to imagine such reversals and drama in such a short period of time, until we all entered these tumultuous times in our own nation.
Alma 53-63
August 10-16 The ten chapters that we look at today are about both the low and high points of the Nephite nation. This is a time of continual war, brought on in large part by the “contentions, and dissensions, and all manner of iniquity of the people of Nephi” (Alma 62:40) At the same time, just as the light shines more clearly in a darkened world, we see the power of goodness in Helaman’s 2060 stripling warriors. The image of these young men carrying the banner of freedom and faith with such unflinching goodness is one that shines right into our hearts today.
Alma 43-52
August 3-9 You may get to the so-called war chapters in the Book of Mormon and wonder why Mormon bothered to include so many of them. Yet, he was a prophet who’d seen our day and if ever there were chapters as fresh and relevant as today’s news headlines, here they are. They are filled with the best heroes, like Moroni, who hoist the title of liberty, the darkest villains, like Amalickiah who prosper by deceit and betrayal, and underscoring it all is an existential question: what is the price of freedom?
Alma 39-42
July 27-August 2 With only 239 chapters in the Book of Mormon and only 531 pages, would you take four of those chapters and 8 pages just to talk about one wayward missionary’s story who committed a grievous sexual sin? Why would the Prophet Mormon think it was so important to include this story for our day? Let’s explore this together.
Alma 36-38
July 20-26 We see many conversations in the Book of Mormon where fathers teach their sons and their impact changes not only their son’s life, but the generations that follow. The lessons are profound. The impact overwhelming. If there was ever scripture that calls out for fathers to step into their parenting role with power, the Book of Mormon is it.
July 13-19 Alma has a hidden message in this week’s readings. You all are familiar with the concept he teaches of having a particle of faith and planting a seed and nurturing it that it may grow. But what is that seed to grow into? What is the metaphor he wants us to understand? As we read and study this week’s material you might think Alma the Younger is one of Lehi’s students—he takes a chapter right out of the vision of the tree of life—and if you miss that part of the lesson, you miss one of the greatest teachings in the scriptures. Let’s explore further.
