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

D&C 94

 As the Lord provides - 

"...a commandment I give unto you, that ye shall commence a work of laying out and preparing a beginning and foundation of the city of the stake of Zion, here in the land of Kirtland, beginning at my house."  (Doctrine and Covenants 94:1)

He interesting adds - 

"...behold, it must be done according to the pattern which I have given unto you."  (Doctrine and Covenants 94:2)

I understand that the specific pattern given to a Church building committee, did not necessarily happen in Kirtland, it became a pattern used continuously in other places and town.  I can't help but think concerning the revelation - 

"...I will give unto you a pattern in all things, that ye may not be deceived..."  (Doctrine and Covenants 52:14)
