The Time of Sin

Posted by joespencer on August 23, 2011

I assume we’re all familiar with the sermon Samuel the Lamanite delivers to Zarahemla in Helaman 13-15. I’ve been revisiting it this past week or two, and I’ve been struck by what is in that sermon (and the preface of sorts in Helaman 12) a near obsession with temporality. I want to write out some of my thoughts on chapter 13 in particular, because it seems to me that there Samuel outlines an implicit theory of the temporality of sin. I think there is much to learn here about sin and repentance…. Read the rest of this entry »

NT Sunday School Lesson 34 (JF): 1 Corinthians 11-16

Posted by Jim F. on August 20, 2011

Every so often I insert this reminder: These are study notes, not notes for a lesson. Of course, studying the chapter can help one prepare for the lesson, and the same questions used for study can be used to teach a lesson.

RS/MP Lesson 40: “Temple Work and Family History” (Gospel Principles Manual)

Posted by Robert C. on August 18, 2011

I’ve struggled with what to say about this lesson.
