Moroni 1:3

"And I, Moroni, will not deny the Christ; wherefore, I wander whithersoever I can for the safety of mine own life."

How powerful is this statement! Moroni lives in a time where anyone who won't deny Christ is killed.  He alone remains as a Christian, so he has to live in hiding.  While he is hiding, he abridges scriptures-precious records that we have today because of him. He also writes the sacramental prayers and the manner of priesthood ordination. While reading the first few chapters of Moroni today I imagined the Nephites living as I do today.  Their church was organized exactly how ours is organized today. It is so incredible to think about and imagine. It makes me feel like I am part of something big. Something that has not changed, and won't change because it is how Christ organized it. He is the head, and He know what works best because it's how it's always worked. I know this!
