Section 30
from Doctrine and Covenants Contexts Hosted by BYU Studies
This chapter describes the resolution of tensions between Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, and the Whitmer brothers during the Church's second quarterly conference in September 1830. The conference, held at the Whitmer home in Fayette, New York, was marked by a profound spiritual experience. Joseph received revelations for David, Peter Jr., and John Whitmer. David was admonished for being overly focused on earthly matters, neglecting his spiritual duties. Peter was reminded of his mission to the Lamanites, which, despite initial setbacks, led to significant missionary success in Ohio. The text highlights the importance of prioritizing spiritual commitments over worldly concerns and the perseverance required in missionary work.
