Episode 35 - Doctrine and Covenants 94–97, “For the Salvation of Zion”

In this episode covering Doctrine and Covenants 94–97, I talk about how the Lord gives us patterns—whether in building temples or in building our lives—and how following His plan brings blessings we can’t find in the world’s way of doing things. I share a listener’s touching review about the power of the Book of Mormon, insights on the Lord being in the details, and lessons from Joseph Smith’s insistence on building the Lord’s house His way. We discuss chastening as a sign of God’s love, Hyrum Smith’s eagerness to begin the Lord’s work, and how temples and Zion invite us to become pure in heart. Most of all, this episode reminds us that the Lord wants to refine, bless, and multiply us when we humbly follow Him.

See Saints, 1:169–70; “A House for Our God,” Revelations in Context, 165–73.
