The Shakers in North Union Ohio were the only church to have a revelation from Joseph Smith directed specifically at them. This as unique and not repeated again in the Doctrine and Covenants. However, it was a special circumstance, and it provided the Lord the opportunity to clarify and restate the importance of what are today some basic gospel fundamentals.
The balance between the spiritual manifestations found in the old revival tents and true gifts of the Spirit can be a fine line between true and false spirits. this was the problem the early Saints had when the church was just formed. Manay of the Saints in Kirtland were happy to have the 'enthusiastic spiritual exhibitions more commonly found in Pentacostal churches of the day, but this seemed to run against the revelations J...
Believe it or not, a Chinese earthquake had an effect on the early Saints. In this episode we will tell that tale and also read the Lord's own explanation for his comments in Matthew 24 on the Mount of Olivet.
The move to Kirt6lanad marked a fundamental change for the fledgling church. The Lord had promised he would deliver then law of the church once the prophet got to Kirtland and so it was delivered. But st5range doings were going on in Kirtland and thy provided some good opportunities to truly establish the pattern of the Church. these were interesting times.
We focus on section 38 today because of its broad reach across numerous points of doctrine and guidance. The primary message of the importance of being united is manifest throughout and we learn a bit more about the true nature of Christ.

Once more we come upon Easter next week. Please join me as we engage in this discussion of what should be and is the single most important celebration we fete. it seems all people love Easter but perhaps few of us realize just how pivotal this event we celebrate was. The future of our entire eternal existence hung in the balance and the Savior's sacrifice and resurrection made our continued eternal progression possible.
Throughout the Book of Mormon concerns of the prophets and prophecies of the ultimate fate of the Lamanites was a primary concern. Great promises were made to their descendants. As soon as the Church as organized, the very first missionaries were sent out to preach and teach the various Indian tribes notwithstanding the opposition from other settlers around them. Amazing success and wonderful stories came from those early efforts.

This wide -ranging revelation was given during the time that Joseph Smith was revising or re-translating the Book of Genesis and as such, it shares many common threads.

Important issues remained to be settled as the early Church began its mission. Whether or not Angels could eat earthly food was not one of those issues, but the matter is addressed, nevertheless.
What was an important issue was just who could receive revelation and how was revelation to be handled. This came after confusing and conflicting revelations by Oliver Cowdery and also Hiram Page.
Join me as we see how this was settled.
We discuss the beginnings of serious persecutions and also, a special calling for Emma Smith
Known aa the Articles and Covenants of the Church of Christ, Doctrine and Covenants 20 contains the foundational history, beliefs and ordinances of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Parts of Doctrine and Covenants 20 were given by revelation, and other parts came from a close study of the scriptures, particularly the Book of Mormon.
Join me as we take a closer look at this interesting section.
The Book of Mormon had now been fully translated, and the brethren were tasked with the challenge of getting it published. But that was no simple feat; the type- setting and the actual printing of 5,000 copies was an enormous ...and very expensive job and suddenly, the effort to form a new church was becoming very serious and very real. How was this going to be accomplished? Where would the money come from? Both good questions. The...
While Joseph Smith was busy working on the Book of Mormon and getting ready for its publication as well as the formal organization of the Church, Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer, on the occasion of the revelation known as the 18th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants, received their own commissions from the Lord. Their task was to search out and choose the twelve men who would become the first ordained Apostles of the new Dispens...
The story of the three witnesses to the Book of Mormon is a fascinating one. Not only were the circumstances surrounding the wonderful vision amazing, but the three men themselves each have a story to tell, and their remarkable lives serve as an additional testimony to the truth of the Book of Mormon.
The 10th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants deals with the Loss of the 116 pages of the original Book of Mormon manuscript and the plans and designs of those who stole it...and how the Lord subverted those plans two thousand years ago.
Drama and Intrigue and the best laid plans of the Satan could not stop the work.
The arrival of Oliver Cowdery was an answered prayer for Joseph Smith. He had asked the Lord for a scribe and Oliver arrived three days later. His contribution was invaluable and together they finished the translation in just two months. but there was...and there is always... more to the story!
The effort to translate the Golden Plates was an arduous and complicated one, with drama an intrigue at every turn.
Tough it was the Lord's work, it took every ounce of energy that Joseph Smith had to bring it to pass. Here now is the story of Martin Harris' contribution and complication to that effort.
This is the extraordinary story of Moroni's visit to Joseph Smith on only the second heavenly visit he received. He was still young, (Just 17years old), and had no plans at the time, to form a new church, but the things the angel told him then would unalterably change his life, and the world forever. Please join me for this special episode.
We step back from the Doctrine and Covenants for just two weeks so that we can review the Joseph Smith History as found in the Pearl of Great Price.

This week we will learn of the First Vision and next week we w...
