Open your Eyes


Carmichael Family Home Evening feasted on the words of President Benson presented by Arne Jerde. After a rousing “Onward Christian Solders” accompanied by Dave the master pianist and conducted by Jillian, we were all spiritually well fed with the doctrine of secret combinations. Arne’s thirty-year study of this topic gave insightful well-documented sources to being aware that secret combinations exist today. An interesting statistic showed that the number of scriptures related to secret combinations in Book of Mormons is forth on the list. Jesus Christ is first most frequent scripture topic, war is second, and missionary work is third. The main point is to “open your eyes” and be aware of influences around you that could harm and destroy you. Ether 8:24, God commands us to awake to the sense of our awful situation because of this secret combination which shall be among us
Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed." D&C 123:17.

  1. I don't mean to distract from your blog, but I have been searching for an Arne Jerde for several years. I know several sons of an Arne Jerde (Ben, Tyler, John, Jacob, Joseph, and James). I am a relative through marriage. Is this the same Arne Jerde mentioned in the story above?
