D&C 81-83: Come Follow Me with Sam

Welcome! In one sense, this week is some reruns of last week with new color. 81 is very similar to 79, 82 is similar to 78. Enjoy :) Section 81 This section was very much like section 79 to me. It was short but filled with such power because it contains the core of the gospel in plainness in a real experience. It is unfortunately hard for me to articulate the meaning of these sections; it is better just to read them after praying with all your heart to feel the love of God and the vision he has for you in His kingdom...  but if I was to take a stab at this one, I would say that God is telling Federick G Williams that he is in exactly the right spot at exactly the right time, and all he needs to do is be the best that he can be, and do follow God's commandments exactly, and that if he makes every situation as 'good' (as in righteous, filled with light, well-doing towards others), he gets the gold and all is accepted before Him, the God of the universe Section 82 Section 82 b...

D&C 77-80: Come Follow Me with Sam

 Welcome! This week is a really exciting amalgam of sections! Okay, so there's nothing that exciting ,but I feel that this week, each section has a little gem to take with you. Section 77 Section 77 is a Q&A of the meaning of certain parts of revelations. I plan on diving deeper into the actual content when the new testament rolls around. For now, I felt like S&S had some really important insights. listen to these passages "The prophetic part of it is mostly regarded [by the world] as an unsolvable riddle.... the reason for this confusion is that modern interpreters have lost the key to the book... That book was written to show that the Church would conquer paganism, but that it would itself be driven into exile and remain in absolute obscurity for 1260 'days' - prophetic years... "But this Revelation (Section 77) is not a complete interpretation of the book. It is a key.  A key is a very small part of the house. It unlocks the door through which an entran...

D&C 76: Come follow me with Sam

 Welcome! This is probably the most well-known section in all of D&C! We get fixated on the three kingdoms and how its different from the normal Christian ideas of heaven and hell, but I would encourage you to focus on what this means. Here are a few beginnings you could think about: 1. We can see that our actions on earth are much more closely tied with our state in heaven. 2. We can see that God will help us go as far as we are willing, and bless us as much as He can within those parameters. 3. We can see that there is much we do not yet know, but that it has its order and plan and we can learn faith through this understanding Section 76 My favorite part of the section 7  And to them will I  a reveal  all  b mysteries , yea, all the hidden mysteries of my kingdom from days of old, and for ages to come, will I make known unto them the good pleasure of my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom. 8  Yea, even the wonders of  a eternity ...
