Sacred Covenants vs Secret Combinations, Helaman 1 – 6

Keywords

sacred covenants, secret combinations, pride cycle

Abstract

This week I’ll share an abbreviated note on Helaman 1 through 6. These are some of the most depressing chapters in the Book of Mormon. Instead of experiencing the peace and prosperity that comes from God, the people show what happens in the pride cycle.

One of the biggest issues I see for the Book of Mormon people, especially in Helaman, 3 Nephi, 4 Nephi, Mormon, and Ether is the embrace of secret combinations at the rejection of sacred covenants.

Sacred covenants are promises that we make to give and bless others. We commit to share our time, talents, and resources with others. We promise to love and service them. We promise to enhance their lives.

Secret combinations are dark promises made to take from and destroy others. Someone commits to spend their time and efforts taking the resources of others. They promise to hate and disrupt other’s lives. They promise to take and not to give.
