Is the Bible Inferior?

For today’s reading I asked the kids to read 1 Nephi 13: 19-29, 40; 1 Nephi 14:23 and Mormon 7:8-9. Our discussion today was on whether the Bible was inferior scripture or not. They’ve heard all their lives that “plain and precious parts” have been removed, and the difficulty of reading the Bible sometimes means it gets less attention in the Church. I wanted to debunk that idea and give…

Prophets speak for Heavenly Father

Primary Talks

I skipped up the dusty drive, past the gray stone houses nestled in bright purple blossoms, and into the open doorway. Mother pushed back her damp hair and set a bucket of muddy water down. It was Monday, the day she washed the walls and rinsed away the dirt that blew in with the winds. Monday was also important because of family home evening. My brothers, Chris and Trenton, and…

Dad takes the bucket and pours the water, mud, and nymphs into a plastic bag and…

Book of Mormon prophets teach me how to strengthen my family

Primary Talks

Adapted from Scripture Stories (PBIC0358) Hel. 10–11 Nephi was heartsick. He had tried hard to teach the Nephites to live righteously, but they would not forsake their wicked ways. As he went toward his home, Nephi heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done; … behold, I will bless thee forever; … yea, even that all things shall be done…

Take the pieces of a flashlight apart. Give one piece each to a class member. Have them stand at the front of the class holding their piece, have one extra class member stand up there with nothing. Ask each person with a part of the flashlight what they have and if they can turn the light on. They each say “nope”. Have the class member that didn’t have a part…
