Come Follow Me 2020: Moroni 7-9
This week we get three chapters of Mormon's teachings - a sermon to the believers in chapter 7, and two epistles to his son Moroni in chapters 8 and 9. If you could only pick one chapter to study out of the Book of Mormon, Moroni 7 would make my Final Four, and would have a strong chance at being my final pick. This is where we see the exposition of Jesus' teachings about how to judge (or discern) righteously - by looking to the fruits (or actions) that are manifestations of what lies in the hearts of men and women. Also, one of the best descriptions of faith, hope and charity is in this chapter, culminating in the command to seek charity through prayer so that it can transform us. Chapter eight explains how to confront contention and disputations over doctrine (in this case over child baptism) - with pure truth given through revelation to God's designated messengers. And finally, a terrifying description of a world where people have rejected God to go it on their own. No, they don't end up with the most amazing Babylon ever - they end up with nothing at all. And that's where we'll be if we also try to live without Christ.
Enjoy listening, and keep up the fight!
