Seminary - Home Study


Hey guys.  If you are reading this blog here, then you are reading the wrong thing.  You should be doing Home Study instead.  Please talk to your folks right now and check their inbox.  There are specific instructions what you must do from now until we meet in person in seminary class again ( . . . maybe).

I probably will continue to post blogs as supplements but you will not be required to respond to the comments for credit.  However you will get your credit from doing the worksheets as prescribed by the Home Study program.

Unit 9: Day 2 - 2 Ne 33

Within these concluding chapters of Nephi, I've learned to appreciate him even more.  I especially enjoy in v3-7, when he would pray for his people, even until he cries at night.  He has such faith, to know the Savior will persuade his people (Nephi people) to do good and to believe in Him, even endure to life eternal.  Nephi would glory in plainness.  For the truth is plain, it is Satan that confuses.  And finally for Nephi's charity that he has for his people so that they can be one with Christ.   Nonetheless, Nephi also sternly warns those of us who chose not to follow these words (i.e. words of Christ, even this Book of Mormon), that these words will condemn us at the last day.  How terrible must that feel?  Nephi speak of the last day as a very happy event for those who follows and endures to the end but it is also at the very same setting at the judgement bar that we would be held accountable.  I don't know about you but tha...

Okay gang, this is your first blog seminary lesson and it is going to be on doctrinal mastery. The 5 scriptures that we ought to focus on are listed below. 1 Ne 3:7 2 Ne 28:30 2 Ne 32:3 Mosiah 4:9 2 Ne 32:8-9 Here is a trick that my seminary teacher taught me in working with scripture mastery and I would like you guys to do the same as your first blog seminary assignment (remember, you must comment below otherwise I can't give you seminary credit!).  Read the particular scripture mastery Mark it On the side margins, write down one key word or key phrase that you feel like describes the general idea of the scripture mastery As you do so, you will find that the scripture you mark can become a powerful tool, especially when you are on your mission in quickly searching for thoughts.  Remember how the Holy Ghost teaches by helping you remember things?  Well these keywords in the margins will come in handy when you need them the most.   Sec...

Blog Preface

Let's be honest.  When I first heard that seminary is going to be canceled temporarily, my first thought was I get to sleep in tomorrow (yay).  Second thought was my students will get to sleep in (imagine my students saying yay).  But my third thought was, COVID-19 is Laban . . . and here is why. Earlier in the seminary year we learned about Nephi and his brothers returning to Jerusalem to retrieve the brass plates.  I really should give Laman/Lemuel some credit for trying.  After all they did go ask but fail.  And then returned with gold to try to buy the plates off of Laban and failed again.  Asking and purchasing seems like the obvious and straight forward thing to do and they did do that.  But what sets Nephi apart amongst the brothers is that Nephi does not quit!  He said "and it came to pass that I spake unto my brethren, saying: Let us go up again unto Jerusalem, and let us be faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord; for...
