Was the Anti-Nephi-Lehies’ Oath a Calling and Election?

Last updated on: March 1, 2025 at 4:27 am By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

Pondering the Anti-Nephi-Lehies’ oath made me consider if that oath involved receiving their calling and election. After receiving the gospel of Jesus Christ preached by Ammon, Aaron, and companions, the Lamanites buried their weapons of war deep in the earth as a token of their conversion. For they became a righteous people; they did lay down the weapons of their rebellion, that they did not fight against God any more, neither against any of their brethren. After they joined the...

It’s refreshing to see teenagers stand strong in their beliefs, especially in a place where those beliefs aren’t generally understood or appreciated. Meet Solomon Wylie, daring to stand for truth, alone. Daring to Stand Alone To those who don’t know me, my name is Solomon Wylie. I am still in 8th grade and very excited to leave it soon. I am part of a generation that contains many who are starting to fade away from religion. Who have been trained... Read more

Entertainment Serving the Prince of the Power of the Air

It was 9:30 Saturday night as I drove toward our temporary house. The rental house is slightly out of town with a couple of dark roads before reaching the subdivision. As I drove in the dark, I suddenly spotted some recent roadkill—a skunk. That scene always makes me sad. Trying to avoid the carcass, I steered to the left. Suddenly the pungent skunk smell enveloped me. It dissipated as I continued homeward. I pulled into the garage and the odorous... Read more

Moroni 7:10 in Context of Temple Patterns

Last updated on: February 7, 2025 at 5:20 am By Delisa Hargrove

Moroni 7:10 in Context of Temple Patterns Wherefore, a man being evil cannot do that which is good; neither will he give a good gift.[1] This single sentence encapsulates truth taught in holy temples of man’s mortal struggle to choose between the God who offers salvific and eternal life and a god who vainly offers his followers temporal power and cloaked misery. During Moses’ theophany, he experienced the glory that is God. After that experience ended, Satan appeared to Moses... Read more

Our Wheat and Tares Parable

Last updated on: January 15, 2025 at 8:11 am By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

Jesus Christ’s parable of the wheat and tares provides such a curious visual representation of the last days. The sower sows a field of wheat. At night, an enemy creeps in and sows tares among the wheat. Rather than risk injuring the young wheat, the sower allows the wheat and tares to grow together. At harvest time, wheat is easily distinguishable from tares. Wheat matures to a golden color, with upright, long, narrow leaves, strong stalks, and large and plump... Read more

“I feel prompted to tell you that it will be okay.” Rex Ashcroft crossed the room in the temple to tell me that. It was Tuesday, November 26th, Thanksgiving week. We were both serving as ordinance workers. My parents and sister’s family had already come to town and were in the temple that night. I felt some stress about entertaining 20 people at our house that week but didn’t think the Lord needed to send a messenger for that. Did... Read more

A Latter-day Call to Gather to War or to God

Last updated on: November 27, 2024 at 5:37 am By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

During my Come, Follow Me study, an unexpected verse stuck out to me. It seemed pretty inconsequential in previous readings—like a pass-through detail. But in our current political climate’s divisive upheaval and thinking of President Nelson’s call to prepare now for the Savior’s Second Coming, the verse suddenly felt significant. It felt like a latter-day call to gather to war or to God. Gathering to War The Book of Mormon recalls the Nephites and Lamanites’ final civil war battles. The... Read more

Trusting God Enough to Board the Barge

Last updated on: November 27, 2024 at 4:08 am By Delisa Hargrove

The scriptures relate many harrowing tales that I digest while sitting comfortably on my couch—stories of trusting God through wars, shipwrecks, lions’ den, fiery furnaces, fiery deaths, betrayals, rejections, apocalypse, death. One harrowing tale, like many others, is actually a story of covenant redemption. I honestly hadn’t considered it a harrowing tale until the Holy Ghost taught me how it related to me. Following the Lord’s direction and commandment, Jared and his group traveled from the tower of Babel to... Read more
