Gospel Doctrine Notes

This blog is a personal scripture journal, intended to gather and share ideas which supplement the official LDS Gospel Doctrine course. Hopefully it will enhance, and not replace, the personal study that results in testimony. The official website for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is www.lds.org.

By now, you know that I love to make connections between the counsel we receive in the scriptures and that of modern-day prophets and leaders. This lesson has several relevant talks that I love:

Trust in the Lord by Elder Richard G. Scott

In the Strength of the Lord by Elder David A. Bednar (When he gave this talk, he was President of BYU Idaho)

Living After the Manner of Happiness by Elder Marlin K. Jensen

Promised Blessings as we read the Book of Mormon

"Brothers and sisters, without reservation I promise you that if you will prayerfully read the Book of Mormon, regardless of how many times you previously have read it, there will come into your hearts an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord. There will come a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to his commandments, and there will come a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God."
—Gordon B. Hinckley
"The Power of the Book of Mormon," Ensign, June 1988.
"There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path. The scriptures are called “the words of life,” and nowhere is that more true than it is of the Book of Mormon. When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."
—Ezra Taft Benson
"The Book of Mormon—Keystone of Our Religion," Ensign, November 1986.
“I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase; mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to the counsel of their parents. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity—the pure love of Christ—will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness.”
—Marion G. Romney
"The Book of Mormon," Ensign, May, 1980.
