A Testimony of Me

Earlier this week, I read the following in Alma, chapter 17:

39 And when he had driven them afar off, he returned and they watered their flocks and returned them to the pasture of the king, and then went in unto the king, bearing the arms which had been smitten off by the sword of Ammon, of those who sought to slay him; and they were carried in unto the king for a testimony of the things which they had done.

This verse caused me to ponder on a question. What acts do I do which are a testimony of me? The things that people see us do in this life, will stand as a witness of the type of person we are. We can imagine what people might say about us after we leave this life, based on our actions and deeds. Ammon was strong and faithful in his actions, which the servants saw and bore record of to the king. Will others see who I truly am or want to be in the things I do? What do I need to change to improve what others witness of me? This is what I hope to think about more in the next couple of weeks, so that I can be a better person and stand as a witness of Christ more in my life. What is their testimony of me?

About My Scripture Study Buddy

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I love the scriptures, but I am not a scriptorian. I've been told that I'm too "deep" for some, but if you are willing, I'd love to have others join me in my quest for a greater understanding of the gospel. Please feel free to leave me comments and hopefully we can help each other to learn.

Current Study

Currently I am studying the The Old Testament. I will be studying from the LDS - King James Version of the Bible (see link below). I am studying along with the book, Scripture Study for Latter-day Saint Families: The Old Testament by Dennis H. Leavitt and Richard O. Christensen.

I am also studying a manual titled Gospel Principles, which was recently the area of study for the church worldwide. I am studying chapters of the manual to gain a greater understanding of the basic principles of the gospel. I do not quote much directly from this manual, but rather I try to include a link directly to the lesson and answer the questions that are asked within each lesson. (The manual online is linked below).
