S3 E 50 Scriptural Guide to Helping Loved Ones and Others in(to) the Gospel (Alma 12-22 2nd episode)

[@lujeanjensen3315]

"Go because you know" Thanks for so many insights and thoughts!

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

That was one of my favorite things that came from this episode!

[@ShikaAshley]

Thank you for this discussion. It helped me to make a connection that I hadn't done previously. I suspect Ammon has confidence because of verses 10-12 in chapter 17. He knows that whatever happens, all will be well. I've thought that because when I decided to serve in the military I prayed much to know if I should. The Spirit was guiding me in that direction, but I needed direct confirmation - which I received. I faced many trials, but did so with confidence. That confidence was because I knew that whatever happened, the Lord was with me. I was the only openly active member that my comrads knew (in the case of one, the first positive example). For the first time, I have made the connection between the confidence I had with Ammon (and his brethern/brothers). #gratefulforTSAR

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

This is such a great connection. Very powerful!

"You will come to know, as you go" thanks John and Kerry, many gems to ponder. Consecrating our sins made me think of Paul's thorn in the flesh that he prayed to have removed 3 times....then told His grace was sufficient...a.k.a...you will continue in the ministry with "that thorn"... interesting and thought provoking. Kia ora

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

Kia Ora indeed! Some of my closest friends when I lived in Hawaii were Maoris from New Zealand. I miss hearing them say Kia Ora! I am glad you found things to ponder, it was that way for me too. And your summary has been thought provoking for me too. Thank you!

I have his book, and I listen to all his podcasts. Hilton is excellent and has a great sense of humor and the funniest stories to tell! I'm grateful for the opportunity to continually learn from you, incredible Saints!

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

He is wonderful to work with, isn't he?

What a great discussion!

I am so glad it was helpful for you!

I really love the meme you have created, "I go because I know . . . " and the important, true additions you add to the meme.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

We need to spread that somehow!

[@elizabethpeterson9914]

Such a good episode! I love the idea of I Go, for I Know and I Know, for I Go. That's powerful! And I definitely want to put it on a T-shirt, one on the front, the other on the back.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I think that would be such a great t-shirt! I keep thinking about that phrase again and again.

Great insights and info. We can definitely apply the teachings and examples of the BoM. I’m loving your book on Understanding Isaiah. I’m learning so much. It was lovely to meet John Hilton in Atlanta in his sons mission Macedonia ward. I need to get the Book. Voices of the BoM. You both are so informative

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

I am so happy to hear that the podcast was helpful, and that you were able to meet John, and that you are enjoying the Isaiah book. That makes me so happy. Bless you!

[@skemp2520]

Tonight, I will have an opportunity to join the fulltime missionaries as they teach a friend the plan of salvation. Reviewing these chapters with you has increased my desire to "go because I know."

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

Wonderful! Then you will know, because you go!

Another remarkable episode! I was blessed to hear you speak at Ensign College two weeks ago and encourage everyone to listen. I appreciated the discussion about how Aaron might have taken some counsel from Ammon and his approach with Lamoni. On the other hand, I know from personal experience as a past early morning seminary teacher, that when one of the teacher's had a successful class by using a specific approach to a lesson, if another teacher tried to replicate the lesson doing the same thing it was always a failure. It was clear to us that we were prompted for the students we were teaching and it wasn't necessarily going to work with a different set of students. Thank you for such an instructive discussion with Brother Hilton...and please come back to Ensign College anytime.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

You are so right! I think the service approach worked for Aaron when and where it was supposed to work for Aaron. The Lord does His own thing in His own way at His own timing, but if we are willing to listen and learn, He will bless us in the effort! I hope to come back to Ensign anytime you will have me.

I have wondered for years why Ammon was "the chief among them" (Alma 17:18) when Aaron appeared to be the eldest. The thought came to me this morning that it might be that the tradition Nephi started by appointing his brother to be a priest to the people continued in the line of kings, and that Ammon was the one thus appointed.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

That really could be it. There are so many examples of it not being the oldest who God chooses that it is hard to know what to think of it. Nephi may have been making that same point. Good thought.

[@hollayevladimiroff131]

According to the bible, Romans 12:1 giving yourself to the Lord to become a living sacrifice. Weare to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy. well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service. We are consecrated to enjoy the perfect love of the triune God. One God not many gods.

[@TheScripturesAreReal]

Well said.
