<description>&lt;p&gt;I'm in Doctrine and Covenants 124—"A House unto My Name." I recap the Saints' move to Nauvoo, why the Lord urgently needed a temple, and how faithful discipleship (taking counsel, staying humble, keeping the Spirit) helps us endure. I talk about being doers of the word, not hearers only; welcoming strangers like the people of Quincy did; and practical ways to serve—yes, including finding refugee and local needs on JustServe.org. I also touch on Nauvoo ordinances, baptisms for the dead, and making temple work part of daily discipleship. At the end, I invite you to pray about one specific thing you'll do this week—and then go do it. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Follow me on &lt;a href= "https://open.substack.com/pub/melaniestroud/p/okay-fine-ill-do-it?r=6jc146&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web"&gt; Substack&lt;/a&gt; to get this sent directly to your inbox each week. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And if you haven't bought my book about the power of the Book of Mormon, which includes a simple five-step method to getting the most out of your study, you can buy it here.  Yipee! &lt;a href= "https://a.co/d/8tPkUpp"&gt;Feasting on the Words of Christ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Description

I'm in Doctrine and Covenants 124—"A House unto My Name." I recap the Saints' move to Nauvoo, why the Lord urgently needed a temple, and how faithful discipleship (taking counsel, staying humble, keeping the Spirit) helps us endure. I talk about being doers of the word, not hearers only; welcoming strangers like the people of Quincy did; and practical ways to serve—yes, including finding refugee and local needs on JustServe.org. I also touch on Nauvoo ordinances, baptisms for the dead, and making temple work part of daily discipleship. At the end, I invite you to pray about one specific thing you'll do this week—and then go do it. Follow me on Substack to get this sent directly to your inbox each week.
