Peace Does Not Mean Easy

~ Marie

54 Episode – Peace Does Not Mean Easy

I think we sometimes confuse peace with ease or comfort. Because something is hard or uncomfortable we decide to leave it behind. “It’s not for me.” That’s not what the Savior meant when He said, “My peace I give unto you” (John 14:27).

Humbling and Chastening

~ Marie

26 Episode – Humbling and Chastening

Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. Really? Paul says so, and so does another prophet from the Book of Mormon. He just uses a different word. Humbleth.

Mighty in the Truth

~ Marie

25 Episode – Mighty in the Truth

The sword of truth is all we have to fight with, but will we pick it up?

Note: I refer to the sword in the Armor of God as the sword of truth, but the scriptures actually refer to it as the sword of the Spirit. I think my confusion came from the Hymn Let Us All Press On, 243. But, the scriptures came from the Spirit prompting prophets to write things down. And all truth comes to us by the Spirit, so, it works. Enjoy!

Acts 18:24-28

~ Marie

24 Episode – I’m So Tired

Do you ever just get tired? Like the kind where life just won’t give you a break, and things keep piling up, and on top of that you feel guilty for what you’re not doing. Me too. And Nephi too. And Ammon too.

Hitting Rock Bottom

We talk about “hitting rock bottom.” Why is there a bottom? What stops us from descending down forever? It’s Jesus Christ.
