“Do Ye Suppose That Ye Cannot Worship God Save It Be in Your Synagogues Only”

Bryan Richards

Houses of worship have their place. However, with the exception of the temple, they are not typically the place where we learn the greatest spiritual lessons. It is on our knees, in our homes and closets, where the greatest worship takes place. It is also here where the greatest spiritual experiences are received. Prophets over the ages have rarely received their major revelations in chapels or synagogues. In the next chapter, Alma tells us of Zenos, who had communed with God in the wilderness, in his field, in his house, and in his closet (Alma 33:4-9). We should expect our moments of greatest worship to be in locations just as personal and private.
