And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.
Tonight was our ward (or neighborhood) Christmas party. We went to the local roller skating rink and skated for a while. We also watched a short video of the life of the Savior. We had a great turnout as we had some people who normally don't go to church show up and skate. We also had some non-members show up. And for the record, I did skate around the rink. I was not fast, but I did get out there (not for very long).
The above scripture reminds me of how powerful the word of God is. As people hear His voice their hearts are changed and then great things happen. It is important to be good friends and neighbors to everyone. We don't change people hearts, people change when the listen and follow the spirit.
Where is the picture of Scott & Wendy?
ReplyDeleteMariah - you need to post some pictures here for us to see!
I think that is a good idea. Scott and Wendy you know you need to set the example for your children. Skate on.
ReplyDeleteYou are much braver than I am. I wouldn't make it very far around the rink.
