Every member a Missionary


The words of his preaching unto his brethren. He confoundeth a man who seeketh to overthrow the doctrine of Christ. A few words concerning the history of the people of Nephi.

(Background info about Book of Jacob: Jacob, Nephi's brother, was commanded to record the sacred history of the Nephites on the small plates. This was about 55 years after Lehi crossed the ocean.)

The words of his preaching unto his brethren. He confoundeth a man who seeketh to overthrow the doctrine of Christ. A few words concerning the history of the people of Nephi.

I was impressed by this scripture: "answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we did not cteach them the word of God with all diligence; wherefore, by laboring with our might their dblood might not come upon our garments; otherwise their blood would come upon our garments, and we would not be found spotless at the last day."

If that's not a good reason to seek out people who are looking for the Gospel, I'm not sure what is.
