Mormon Musings

"Many of the stories of the Book of Mormon are stories of deliverance. Lehi’s departure into the wilderness with his family was about deliverance from the destruction of Jerusalem. The story of the Jaredites is a story of deliverance, as is the story of the Mulekites. Alma the Younger was delivered from sin. Helaman’s stripling warriors were delivered in battle. Nephi and Lehi were delivered from prison. The theme of deliverance is evident throughout the Book of Mormon." -Elder L. Tom Perry, "The Power of Deliverance", General Conference, Apr. 2012

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering  to us-ward, not willing that any should perish , but that all should come to  repentance. 2 Peter 3:10
