D&C 37 - 40

In this Come Follow Me podcast episode we are covering Doctrine and Covenants 37 – 40. We start off by talking about Joseph Smith’s translation of the Bible and the Lord’s direction to physically gather the saints. Then we move into the Lord’s introduction to himself in Doctrine and Covenants 38. We talk about what are the seraphim? Then we ask what does it mean to be gathered into the Lord’s bosom? We examine the caution that powers of darkness are working on the earth today. Then we see the Lord’s caution to Joseph Smith going into how they know not the hearts of men in their own country. Next we examine what it means when God says if ye are not one, ye are not mine. Along with that, God counsel to us to build up Zion, who were “one in heart.” Finally, we look at the Lords statement that he made the earth rich. How does a rich earth square up to a world driven by scarcity and competition?
