He said, Faith without works is dead. That's right out of the book of James, at the end of the New Testament.

I scribbled it on a piece of paper. I put it in the Bible on the page beginning of the book of John so I wouldn't forget it.

It's all in that book.

And it's all, it's all in that book.

I'm not saying I wasn't a believer, I just didn't really care. I didn't think about it.

And it's been great. And, and, you know, and to be honest, it's the only thing I can find that makes any damn sense anymore.

I'm not through it all yet. I don't claim to be an expert, but, but you know, I see things, I have a team to lean on.

Now we will learn about God's continued blessing over His people and His promise to never leave them as He gives them the Ten Commandments and instructions for the Tabernacle, as inspired by the Book of Exodus.

God's law, the law of God is so very important, so significant in the Scripture. This is the way we walk with God. This is the way we have a relationship with God by keeping His commandments.

God instructed the people to build a tabernacle to worship Him. This dwelling place for God on earth would represent God's presence with His people, and the tabernacle would be carried everywhere they would go on their long journey.

Dear God, thank you for this important vital passage of Scripture reminding us that you dwell among us, that your presence is always near to us through Jesus Christ.

We begin today's reading with Paul's surprise at how quickly the believers in Galatia had lost the point of the gospel and were trying to add requirements to the grace of God in Christ and subject themselves again to bondage.

In our previous time together, we heard how the Council of Apostles and Elders in Jerusalem, along with Paul and Barnabas, affirmed that Gentile believers were not bound to Jewish customs outlined in the law.

James Earl Jones reads the Bible.

The other thing about the Bible is the bestselling book of all time.

And there are many stories in the Bible that are, I mean, aside from the incredible, the truth and the spiritual significance as people of faith, they're also just great stories as well that have, of course, more than stood the test of time.

So what is both the bestselling book of all time and the bestselling book each and every year? You might be surprised to hear that even today it is still the Bible.

I think we all recognize that the wisdom of the Bible has stood the test of time and we also know that it's well worth everyone's time to read this jewel of a book but having time to read anything these days is proving more and more difficult.

There are some really good lessons for us in the book of Job for how to comfort someone who has experienced trauma.

If you've never read this story, it does get really dark, just like Noah's, but it does have a happy ending.

I'm kind of concerned right now. What's that? Where's your Bible? You got a notebook today I think I lost it. No, did you?

All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many. It's my favorite book.

All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many. It's my favorite book. It's a lot of people's favorite book.

Why is he lying? Lying through his teeth, even the way he says it is comical that man has obviously never opened a Bible in his life.

The Bible also comes with a copy of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

Including the part where it says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.

The price does not include shipping and other fees but the irony is entirely free. That separation of church and state thing is very hard for some people.

Prepare your heart for this devotional from the book of Psalms, guiding you into a restful embrace under his watchful eyes.

The Bible reminds us our weaknesses are made perfect in the power of God.

Psalm 103 from the King James Version says,

There's a fascinating book that I recommend, it's on the bestsellers list, um it's on the history of fake news, I recommend everybody check it out, uh it's called the Holy Bible.

Move over, King James.

It came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that they did prosper in the land and I beheld a book and it was carried forth among them... The angel explained the contents of the book. It is a Jewish book, a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants of the Lord, many of the prophecies of the holy prophets, and is a record like unto the engravings upon the plates of brass.

Of all the verses in the book of Revelation, probably 75% of them contain at least one allusion to an Old Testament text.

The language of the book of Revelation is Old Testament scripture.

John is taking images from Ezekiel. He's taking images from Daniel. He's taking references to Exodus and Genesis, and he's in a way extracting them from the Old Testament and resituating them in a new context.

You have to understand the meaning, and we'll see that especially in chapters two and three, chapters two and three is all about these references to things from the Hebrew Bible, from the Old Testament, and so if you don't know your Old Testament, there's entire messages in this book that are just going to go just wisp right over your head.

John is demanding that before you read this book, make sure you brush up on the Old Testament.

It comes here from this Isaiah section we're on this week, where Isaiah says a number of times, line upon line, here a little, there a little.

And the Lord is telling us over and over again, especially in the book of Isaiah, line upon line, precept on precept, tiny bit at a time.

And I would say that's the original context for this. It's not different than the Book of Mormon speaking to us. This is the Bible being a voice out of the ground speaking to us.

I feel like that the Bible and our Israelite ancestors that we're reading about are speaking to us out of the ground with a familiar spirit, out of the dust.

I know I said this on the very first episode of this year with you guys, but I hope that we will think of the Old Testament as our family history.

This is our family history. We're reading about their history. Let's learn from it. Let's let them speak to us out of the dust.

Or Jacob and the Psalmist knew the same source. I mean, we don't know.

It also helps understand the Isaiah passages better. When you get a big stretch like 12-24 in 2 Nephi, you know we always have a hard time dragging Sam through those.

Sometimes it seems we take the scriptures too much for granted because we do not fully appreciate how rare a thing it is to possess them and how blessed we are because we do have them.

I ask us all to honestly evaluate our performance in scripture study. It is a common thing to have a few passages of scripture at our disposal, floating in our minds as it were, and thus to have the illusion that we know a great deal about the gospel.

I am convinced that each of us at some time in our lives must discover the scriptures for ourselves and not just discover them once but rediscover them again and again.

In Tyndale's day, scriptural ignorance abounded because people lacked access to the Bible, especially in a language they could understand. Today, the Bible and other scripture are readily at hand, yet there is a growing scriptural illiteracy because people will not open the books.

Consequently, they have forgotten things their grandparents knew.

I love this. I think about Mary being told that she's going to be the mother of the son of God and all of the thinking about the costs that that involves.

I love this. Maybe we can read a little bit of it. Hannah prayed and said, my heart rejoices in the Lord.

I love this in terms of she's talking about those people who are on the margins of society.

I love chapter three and seeing the coming of age of Samuel, but I also love the way that the author is setting this up. It's not just what they say, but how they say it.

I think the most important thing that I take again is the role that Hannah plays here in the bringing forth of someone like Samuel who is placed in an environment which should have been much better than it is, but even so he's able to thrive.

When you have the Book of Mormon, when you have the Old Testament, and you have the Bible. Not even I could have messed this up.

This is a 22 chapter book and Joseph Smith will ask 15 questions.

looking at these verses, looking at the the Fini Bible, the pulpit size Bible that was published in Cooperstowns in New York, that's in front of him and he's going through the book of revelations especially from chapters four to chapters 11.

Joseph Smith said at one time in his teachings the book of Revelation is a plain book for all of us to understand

the world sees this book differently the book of Revelation they don't necessarily agree with where we come from our standpoint of our earlier history and doctrine on this this great book

it reveals things that have been found in no other place in scripture in our canonized scripture meaning the biblical scripture

Eight, the Bible and Book of Mormon are true.

The Bible is not a historical textbook. Or to quote President Nelson, talking about the Book of Mormon, there is history in it, but it is not a historical textbook.

First Peter chapter 2 and let's really take our time with this passage so we can taste it today.

Therefore rid yourselves of all malice and deceit hypocrisy envy and slander of every kind.

Like newborn babies crave pure spiritual milk so that by it you may grow up in your salvation now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

In Scripture it says see I lay a stone in Zion a chosen and precious cornerstone and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.

See that you make them according to the pattern shown you on the mountain

First Kings, chapter 17.

Romans 8-28 is my favorite Bible verse, because it gets me through anything.

Look it up in Judges, chapter 6, in the Holy Bible.

This is 1 Kings, chapter 18.

The Scripture says that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed.

If you haven't read it, the Bible is awesome. You should check it out sometime.

So I just said to you that in a chapter that includes the saving of the apostle Paul, we are about to read the story that I consider one of the most important movements in the book of Acts.

your word is eternal. So speak now.

If he went into the Holy of Holies and shed not the blood of bulls and goats but the blood of his very own perfect life for your sake, when a drop of his blood hit the mercy seat, it spoke over your life a future and a hope that is better.

He says, Don't get discouraged in your life. Don't get discouraged by your marriage. Don't get discouraged by another person's marriage.

James chapter two be on the screen for you beginning to verse 25 and we'll read verse 25 and 26 in the same way was not even Rahab, the prostitute considered righteous.

as the body without the spirit is dead. So faith without deeds is dead.

Some trains listen to say so faith without works is dead. Faith without activity, faith without action, faith without works is dead.

Then James jumps in, and for a third time this harlot is mentioned alongside the heroes of Scripture.

in the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction.

James jumps in. For a third time, this harlot is mentioned alongside the heroes of Scripture.

He would say the Bible verse without looking at the Bible, but he wouldn't say it in our translation. He would be translating it in his mind from Greek.

I like the Bible.

I really like the Bible.

But I happen to like the Bible now more than when I first started reading it.

I've been needing to listen to my audio Bible that is on my iPhone app, and you just gave me 37 extra minutes to do it.

Luke wrote the gospel of Luke where he recorded the words and deeds that Jesus did on the earth. And then he continues his gospel of Luke with the book of Acts.

Acts chapter one starts out with Jesus who is resurrected from the dead, ascending into heaven. So Luke's trying to get you to see there's a God change happening.

As Luke writes this story, the man who was healed that was lame from birth, he's not even the main character. Peter is. Luke is trying to get us to see that Peter is changing as there's a whole bunch of transition happening.

In the Bible it says that he went into the temple courts. That detail shows that the man was restored to worship and community.

The Bible says that the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective.

The Bible is an ancient book. In fact, Isaiah says... He gives a picture of it.
