Book of Mormon Lesson 9: "My Soul Delighteth in the Words of Isaiah"

2 Nephi 11-25

4: “My Work Shall Go Forth” (Doctrine and Covenants 3–5)

No one likes the feeling of being in trouble—that sinking, gut-wrenching feeling that just makes you want to hide under a blanket forever. At one point, Joseph Smith and Martin Harris felt that to an extreme most people will never know. However, there was still hope for them. In this week’s study of Doctrine and Covenants 3–5, we’ll find out what led Martin and Joseph to feeling this way and hear the incredible message of mercy and love that can help all of us climb out from under our blankets.

By Ted L. Gibbons

This lesson could be a book, or many of them, and they have been written. There are so many messages, such profound insights, and numerous events of incomparable importance taking place in these chapters. I do not intend to make a comprehensive examination of these passages. I will shine a light on some insights that might otherwise be missed, suggest some applications that are worth some pondering, and share some stories that may help in understanding and believing. The rest is up to you.

D&C 46-48: Best Gifts

The early Church didn’t have manuals or study guides—they didn’t even have enough copies of the Book of Mormon to go around. But what they did have was ongoing revelation. Doctrine and Covenants 42–56 deal with organizing the Church better, resolving disputes between members, and combating deception. You could almost say these sections are like the earliest General Handbook for the Church. Sections 46–48 contain doctrine so vital to the organization of Christ’s Church that we still rely on it today.

Why Do We Pray Using "Thee" and "Thou"?

By Kelsey Berteaux & Carly Springer

In English, LDS prayer language is distinct from everyday speech. We reserve a special vocabulary for communing with the Lord that reflects the language of the Kings James Bible. In place of more common words like you and your, prayers use the more archaic terms like thee and thine.
