Memorized Scriptures Tag Cloud

I was just doing this as a background for the blog but I thought it was really cool.

So I decided that I would create a new tag cloud every time I memorize a new scripture and add the words of the new scripture to the cloud.


The Power of His word which is IN us - Alma 12

Today I continued my study in Alma 12.

V13 is one I have always been interested in because it talks about the word being IN us - or not in us. Which means to me that the word CAN actually be found IN us. I believe this is way important and that those in whom the word is found are endowed with power. A power that will never be experienced by those who do not have the word found IN them.

Supporting scriptures:
Alma 26:13 "because of the power of his word with is IN us"
Jeremiah 31:33-34 "I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts; and will be their God and they shall be my people"

Lay Hold Upon the Word of God


I just started this blog to have a place to post about my musings in the scriptures. I have a huge binder where I put this stuff too, but it will be neat to have another place to write a summary of what I learned. I won't publicize this blog. I don't care if anyone reads it. It's just another place for me to post. So if you are reading this, great. Feel free to comment and even reply and discuss any of the things you learned or insights you have on scriptures or the gospel that are discussed here. It is my attempt to continue laying hold upon the word of God.

I love this quote that I have in the front of my big Book of Mormon binder:

"Thus the Book of Mormon will be with us as long as the earth shall stand. We need all that time to explore it, for the book is like a vast mansion with gardens, towers, courtyards, and wings. There are rooms yet to be entered, with flaming fireplaces waiting to warm us. The rooms glimpsed so far contain further furnishings and rich detail yet to be savored, but decor dating from Eden is evident. There are panels inlaid with incredible insights, particularly insights about the great question. Yet we as Church members sometimes behave like hurried tourists, scarcely venturing beyond the entry hall." (Neal A. Maxwell - Not My Will but Thine, p. 33). 

This is true. I will not write all my musings of the BOM here, but mostly just my "take homes" from what I learn. Small blips.
