Notes on Grace

We had our second Book of Mormon study group on Friday, March 9th, 2012. Our topic was grace, and it was a great discussion. Wayne Carlston was, as usual our fabulous moderator, and has graciously given us access to his notes. I couldn't figure out how to upload a pdf to blogger, so here is the link to the notes on Google Pages:

Promised Blessings as we read the Book of Mormon

"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.”
