Alma continues teaching people of Ammonihah - Faith of Melchizedek (Alma 13)

Alma is preaching to the people of Ammonihah about people being foreordained to the priesthood because of their righteousness. Salem was a wicked city that became righteous largely through the faith, preaching and priesthood of one man, Melchizedek.

I like the story of Melchizedek because it is a reminder that one person can cause much good and cause a whole people to change and come to God. He accomplished this miracle through preaching with faith and with his authority. I don’t see any reason why a miracle like this should not occur again in our day. The person that could successfully make such a difference has to have a vision strong enough to overcome the common vision and way of thinking that a whole society shares.

Do you think that you could influence a whole society like this if you have faith, priesthood and preach with power?
