Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Alma 24

Where much of the tradition of the Lamanites was to murder and plunder.  In other words, they relied heavily for their personal support on the wealth and/or livelihood of others.  Meaning...taking advantage of others for free stuff.

We find as the Lamanites became converted to the Lord, I noticed a change in their values where Mormon writes -

"...that rather than shed the blood of their brethren they would give up their own lives; and rather than take away from a brother they would give unto him; and rather than spend their days in idleness they would labor abundantly with their hands."  (Book of Mormon | Alma 24:18)

If find this change of heart also a result of the Spirit of the Lord.
