    "Stand Forever" Ep. 32 | The Truth—Was Joseph Smith A Prophet? Part II | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

    Pick almost any scripture from the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price, and ask yourself if they read like the words of deceit, lunacy, or God. Joseph Smith said, “…that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than any other book.” Following the three-month period of translation between April and June 1829, Joseph Smith produced the manuscript of what would be printed and published the following year as the Book of Mormon, a book of over 500 printed pages. And not just any book—a book dictated in a continuous stream without notes, books, or reference materials, with layers upon layers of complexity. How does an uneducated young man produce a complicated narration of multiple literary structures and styles, a web of hundreds of chronological and geographical references, multiple discernible authorship styles, hundreds of authorship shifts, language patterns and idioms of the Near East, and also fill the scores of gaps of truth missing from the Bible all in a continuous, unassisted, unedited flow of dictation in 60 days? The Book of Mormon appearing on the scene within two months, containing what it contains, does not happen in the ordinary course of events without the intervention of a higher power. The Book of Mormon speaks for itself.

    Isaiah 1-12 Shakespeare of the Old Testament | Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson

    Join Lynne Hilton Wilson for another fascinating episode of Women in the Old Testament as she explores Isaiah chapters 1–12, some of the most beautiful, powerful, and influential passages in all of scripture.Often called the “Shakespeare of the Old Testament,” Isaiah is a master of language, poetry, imagery, and prophecy. His words move from warnings and judgments to soaring visions of hope, redemption, peace, and the coming of the Messiah. In these chapters, Isaiah paints unforgettable pictures of the Lord's mission and the future restoration of Israel.Lynne explores these remarkable chapters with special attention to the connections between Isaiah and the Book of Mormon. No other ancient record helps illuminate Isaiah quite like the Book of Mormon, where Isaiah's prophecies are quoted, explained, and applied by prophets who testify of Jesus Christ. From Nephi's powerful teachings to later Book of Mormon prophets, these scriptures help us see why Isaiah's words were so important—and why they continue to speak to disciples of Christ today.Together, we'll examine Isaiah's extraordinary prophecies of the Messiah, including the promised Immanuel, the divine Child who would be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, and the prophetic vision of a world transformed by the reign of Jesus Christ.What do these ancient prophecies teach us about the Savior? Why did Book of Mormon prophets treasure and repeatedly quote Isaiah? And how can understanding Isaiah's poetic language help us better recognize the message of Christ woven throughout the Old Testament?Join Lynne Hilton Wilson as we begin an unforgettable journey through the words of Isaiah—the Shakespeare of the Old Testament—and discover the beauty, power, and testimony of Jesus Christ found in Isaiah chapters 1–12.#WomenInTheOldTestament #LynneHiltonWilson #Isaiah #BookOfMormon #JesusChrist #OldTestament #Messiah #ScriptureStudy #IsaiahProphecies

    "Stand Forever" Ep. 31 | The Truth—Was Joseph Smith A Prophet? Part I | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

    Was Joseph Smith a prophet, or was he a lunatic or a fraud? There is no dispute regarding the facts of the life and work of Joseph Smith. There is no disagreement as to what he did. Only disagreement as to why and how he did what he did. How do you explain him? His critics say he was an impostor or deranged. Those are the options: he was a deceiver, or he was a lunatic, or he was what he said he was, a prophet of God. No one but a lunatic or a prophet endowed with the powers of heaven could endure what he endured, experience what he experienced and never waver regarding the ultimate successful outcome of his labors. Despite every setback and they were constant, despite every defeat, every obstacle, and every crushing blow of opposition, there is no hint he ever doubted the cause of Zion would triumph beyond anyone’s wildest imagination except his and God’s. He was not only a prophet but a seer who foresaw what no one else could have seen at the time—what we all now see in retrospect. The Lord warned, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Let’s look at the fruits of the life of Joseph Smith.

    Proverbs: Focus on the Wisdom of Women I Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Wilson

    What can Proverbs and Ecclesiastes teach us about the women of the Bible—and why does recognizing their voices, wisdom, strength, and influence matter?In this episode of Women in the Old Testament, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, uncovering the many ways women appear throughout these fascinating books of wisdom literature. From Woman Wisdom and the warnings surrounding the “strange woman” to the powerful mother who counsels King Lemuel and the remarkable woman of valor in Proverbs 31, women are woven throughout the teachings and poetry of these ancient texts.Lynne invites us to look more carefully at the women in Scripture—not simply as background characters, but as teachers, mothers, leaders, examples, symbols of wisdom, and people whose experiences help us better understand the biblical world. Proverbs even personifies wisdom itself as a woman, while the closing poem celebrates a woman whose strength, intelligence, industry, compassion, and faithfulness are worthy of praise.Why are women sometimes overlooked when we read the Bible? What happens when we slow down and intentionally look for them? And what can these ancient women teach both women and men today?Join Lynne Hilton Wilson as she helps us rediscover the women of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and reminds us why women's stories belong at the center of our study of Scripture.#LynneHiltonWilson #WomenInTheBible #OldTestament #Proverbs #Ecclesiastes #BibleStudy #WomenOfTheBible #Scripture #Proverbs31 #WomanOfValor

    "Stand Forever" Ep. 30 | The Truth—Is Jesus Christ the Son of God? | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

    Is Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Savior of the World?Except for knowing there is a God who is Our Eternal Father, nothing is more critical to our journey in life than knowing Jesus is the Christ. And except for the evidence that reveals God Our Father, no truth of primary importance is more evident than the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ.Consider the reach of His influence. No one ever has had such a positive effect on more people than Jesus of Nazareth. No matter what sphere of human experience you consider, no matter what period you examine the influence of Jesus Christ looms larger and wholly overshadows all the combined influences of every other person and time combined.Knowing what has been prophesied from the beginning of time and that Jesus of Nazareth alone fulfills all that has been foretold, how can there be any doubt? To deny Christ in light of what has been written is to stand in the clear light of day and say the sun does not shine. In the end, we won’t be able to credibly say, “I didn’t know.”
