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

1 Nephi 4

There are many who seek for a sign to substantiate their faith.  But we see over and over in the Book of Mormon, those that were given signs did not remain faithful.  So is the case with Laman and Lemuel as we read -

"...behold, an angel of the Lord came and stood before them, and he spake unto them..."  (1 Nephi 3:29)

No sooner than the angel did so that -

"...they were yet wroth, and did still continue to murmur..."  (1 Nephi 4:4)

Obviously, signs do not build faith.
