WELCOME

The best advice I can give is from a talk by Elder Oaks: ”Last year a church member sent me a suggestion that someone prepare a book containing all General Authority interpretations of all verses in the scriptures. I replied that I thought this was not a good idea…. What we are seeking to accomplish… is not to magnify the standing of the prophets but to elevate the spirituality of our rank and file members. Like Moses, we declare, ‘would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!’ (Numbers 11:29). We encourage everyone to study the scriptures prayerfully and seek personal revelation to know the meaning for themselves.” (Elder Dallin H. Oaks, “Scripture Reading and Revelation”, BYU Studies Academy Meeting, January 29, 1993)

Subject Book of Mormon

The Young Women of our Ward decided to read the Book of Mormon and mark all the verses dealing with Christ in bright yellow. This way He would shine as they read again.
I did the same.

  •  I bought a "blue cover" Book of Mormon from the distribution center. I then did the following:
  • Went through and highlighted all the major stories.
I then started to read the book thinking on a set subject. Each subject has gotten it's own color.
  • Yellow= Christ's dealings
  • Blue= Parenting ideas
  • Red= How the characters dealt with wickedness

Upcoming subjects as I read are Holy Ghost, Revelation, Sorrow, Enduring...the list is endless. I figure I have quite a few colors to go through before I have to move to a new copy.
