Being holy means keeping his law which sets his people apart from the nations. Leviticus 11:45-47 (KJV) 45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: 47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
The self-reliance program directly ties into this philosophy of taking care of our own personal needs. What blessings this program gives to the individual as well as the leaders. Moses certainly needed the self -reliance program! President Nelson is a prophet for our times!
While Brother Dr. Belnap was speaking of the concept of faith and the importance of the word “therefore,” I was taken back to Abraham’s example recorded in Abraham 2:12-14, particularly verse 13: Thou didst send thine angel to deliver me from the gods of Elkenah, and I will do well to hearken unto thy voice, therefore let thy servant rise up and depart in peace.” Possibly the beginning of the faith that helped Abraham trust in and obey the Lord through very hard things. And I love his statement “gratitude is revelatory in much the same way as prophesy is. And Brother Bytheway, Moroni 10:3 was fundamental to my understanding why I believe.
You are doing a phenomenal work with these podcasts and affecting so many hearts and minds for GOOD! Inspiring faith in the Savior and in the Restoration and increasing motivation to build Zion from within and throughout the world .May you be greatly blessed !!
Where does the Lord say the people will be able to see him; and then changes his mind in verse 21? I only see that he has said they will be able to hear him (Exodus chapter 19:9). Just curious. I'm loving this discussion. Thank you so very much!
President Nelson is good at delegating. He is not in Washington DC doing media tours but Elder Bednar and Elder Gong are. He didn't do the groundbreaking for the new temple near me, Elder Holland had that assignment. Many of the temple dedications and other assignments are delegated giving other the experience and leaving President Nelson to do other things.
Was thinking about the scripture "without vision the people parish. Also an interview with Olivia deHavien when asked if there were movie rolls she would have wanted to play but missed out on, she said there were a few but she had not been considered for the part & named the people who did them. Then talked about a part in "A Streetcar Called Desirer " that was a dramatic one she was interested in, but said she had just recently had a baby, her only son and had thought about The baby Jesus and his Mother and the miracle that it was and then thought about that part & she didn't know how she would ever play it. So she wasn't disappointed that she hasn't asked to do it. I was impressed with her answer. She had wanted the part of Melanie in "Gone With the Wind " because she hoped to help preserve some feminine characteristics she felt were disappearing and she went after that roll - she had a "vision" for what she wanted to do with the part. These examples came to mind as I listen to your lesson. Thank you, I love these lessons.
You saved me today!!!!!!!!!!!We have a huge family situation that is extremely intricate. Thanks to your lesson I am able to admit that I am not qualified to give the depth and quality of help needed. I'm so grateful for the depth of these explanations, I study earnestly but don't always understand, yet I have a deep devotion and love for this glorious Gospel of truth and light. I give thanks in my morning and nightly prayers for God respecting instructors of the Come Follow Him, Come Follow Me and all those that donate their time as the Lord's Mighty Battalion in keeping His Gospel moving forward and into our heart's and mind. Dr. Belnap, in your Family Tree, do you have a dear lady, Marion Belnap Kerr? Her husband Walter was a professor at the University of Utah in the 50's.
Someone went looking for Brigham Young one day and found him working on his roof, and said, "Hey, I need you! People are looking for you! Why are you up here?" And Pres. Young said, "Well, my family needs a house, so I need to get this done." And the person down below said, "Anyone should be able to and be happy to build Pres. Young a house, but we only have one prophet!" So Brigham decided to come down and do the prophet job. Of course Brigham did have (very big!) family responsibilities, and of course Moses did still have many church responsibilities...it's all about what is proper at the time.
Who may ABIDE the day of His coming? Who shall STAND when He appeareth? President Nelson has pleaded with us to increase our capacity to receive personal revelation. As we seek the Holy Spirit each day, we become more comfortable with the Holy Spirit. We will be used to feeling the fire of the Holy Spirit and prepared to receive the Savior on earth. We will be able to abide the day and go boldly to the throne of grace. And all of this because of our merciful Savior and loving Heavenly Father
God's intention was to have Israel come up onto the mountain and see his face and as a people be in God's presence, much the same as the city of Enoch and be translated and taken into heaven. Israel did not want that when faced with what they would have to do in 3 days. Thus God gave them the carnal laws of the 10 commandments that they could do and by so doing, would be much less that what they needed to do to be translated as Enoch's city... but it was a start.
Why are the print runs of books that cover what we are currently reading never big enough.I have again tried to buy the latest one you mentioned…Creation to Sanai only to find it’s out of print ….Thank you for your podcasts .I am an early morning Seminary zoom teacher and I find them really useful..Thank you
I had to laugh about the story of Hank's students lined up at his office looking for spiritual enlightenment, because, there's no way that the ten's of thousands of people that listen to this podcast wait anxiously each week for the same "spiritual enlightenment"!! I guess Hank and John get to kill two birds with one stone in this instance though, getting their own Come Follow Me studies done while helping thousands of others do the same, while not taking away from their extra time. Thanks Hank and John for sharing your scripture studies with us!!
In this case, they really didn't talk about church callings. It seems that all they spoke of was his professional accomplishments, which do help me understand that he really is knowledgeable in his comments.
@@michellemarchant8013 But it leaves one believing that only someone with a million professional accomplishments can speak the truth. Sounds sort of like the Pharisees.
@@nicholesjrn They're invited on because they have scholarly knowledge as well as faith; that allows us without that scholarly knowledge to deepen our understanding.
I agree. All he needs to be is a brother in Christ. I don't like it when they rattle off all the accomplishments. I have a PhD but nobody needs to know that. It doesn't make me any smarter or better than anyone else.

I really enjoy Bro Belnap. I've seen him on some of the old BYU scripture discussions and I've always thought he's brilliant. Thanks!
"You're late!" "Yes, but I'm clean." Yessssss!! I love that!!! THAT is confidence before the Lord!
This was so excellent. Thank you.

Is it the ted sea or sea of reeds? I have heard both terms used.

They do a good job or a interview to spread the word of God.
is this podcast on spotify or amazon music by chance?

I love boldness as our “confidence waxing strong in the presence of God”
