pam Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 It's not a hymn (as one being in the hymnbook) but it is Christ related. One of my favorite songs. Tagging @classylady @askandanswer @SilentOne prisonchaplain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeccaKirstyn Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I hadn't heard this song until this performance in conference a few years ago and I found so much power in it. Especially the way the MoTab performs it. @Vort @Jane_Doe @a mustard seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirkwood Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Alma 48:17 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men. @beefche@Just_A_Guy@NeuroTypical SpiritDragon, NeuroTypical and BeccaKirstyn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Favorite scripture? Paul's discourse on charity. 1 Corinthians 13. If you suffer from a lack of humility (which of course I never ever do), it's good for what ails you. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Sunday21 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) To me the most important church message and a total revelation to me is: No success can compensate for failure in the home. This is a completely different way of viewing life. Completely foreign to the way that I was raised. A totally different view of the relationship with God. As an investigator when I heard this said, I thought that resonates. This is a different view of life. @a mustard seed @mirkwood @Bini @Midwest LDS Edited August 13, 2017 by Sunday21 pam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 As far as an actual hymn from the hymnbook. This one is my absolutely favorite. "Be Still Thy Soul, the Lord is on thy side." Such a wonderful wonderful reminder for all of us. prisonchaplain, seashmore and Maureen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

askandanswer Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 The whole Sermon on the Mount, the New Testament version. There have been times in my life when I had the whole thing memorised, but its been a while now. I should try to memorise it again. @Kimberley93 @estradling @jojobags seashmore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

person0 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm going to share two passages. Hope that's not against the rules. Quote And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins. (2 Ne. 25:26) I love this passage because it indicates purpose. Receiving a remission of our sins is a powerful motivator, knowing that it comes through Christ is key. Quote Therefore, let him contend earnestly for the redemption of the First Presidency of my Church [any righteous and worthy cause], saith the Lord; and when he falls he shall rise again, for his sacrifice shall be more sacred unto me than his increase, saith the Lord. (D&C 117:13) (altered for personalization) I love this passage because it highlights the truth that our sincere efforts to live the gospel and keep the Lords commandments count just as much or more than what we are able to achieve, and it can be personalized to help us see and remember that. @Anddenex @Snigmorder @clbent04 Snigmorder, Anddenex, clbent04 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Scripture: 2 Ne 4:17-35 (Nephi's Psalm). Quote: The measure of a man's character is what he chooses to do when he has the freedom to treat others poorly. Hymn: High on a Mountain Top; Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing; This is the Christ.

a mustard seed Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 My favorite scripture has to do with the mustard seed, Matthew 17:20. My second favorite is Alma 17:9-11 because it talks about being instruments in the hands of the Lord. My favorite story is Alma the Younger because I really identify with his rebellion and then return to the church. I didn't really find myself a whole lot in the scriptures when I was younger but when I started coming back and reading the Book of Mormon, I really found ways to apply its teachings to my life.

Maureen Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 This hymn is popular in protestant congregations and many here will recognize the melody because it's the same as Israel, Israel, God is Calling. But this song is What a Friend we have in Jesus. pam, Sunday21 and seashmore 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midwest LDS Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Favorite scripture Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." This scripture has always helped me and never fails to remind me of the great love and mercy of our Savior Jesus Christ. Favorite hymn 185 "How Firm a Foundation". This hymn never fails to pick me up especially the 3rd verse. I like the reminder that God is on my side and through him all things are possible.

seashmore Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Come Thou Fount or I Believe in Christ. Pretty much any hymn that is sung with conviction of feeling is my favorite. My favorite scripture passage is D&C 121:7-11. Or just that whole section. I taught a youth Sunday School lesson on The Living Christ today and loved the reminder that the life of Christ "neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary." @RooTheMormon didn't see you tagged yet!
