Book of Mormon Promise

"President Hinckley has encouraged us to read the Book of Mormon to lift us above the things of the world, to enjoy the things of the Lord. He said, “Without reservation I promise you that if each of you will observe this simple program, regardless of how many times you previously may have read the Book of Mormon, there will come into your lives and into your homes an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God” (Liahona and Ensign,Aug. 2005, 6). These blessings are far more valuable than material possessions."

New Insights

"As you ponder and pray about doctrinal principles, the Holy Ghost will speak to your mind and your heart. From events portrayed in the scriptures, new insights will come and principles relevant to your situation will distill upon your heart."


Russell M. Nelson, Oct. 2000,General Conference "Living by Spiritual Guidance" 

Recognize Error

"In your journey through life, you meet many obstacles and make some mistakes. Scriptural guidance helps you to recognize error and make the necessary correction. You stop going in the wrong direction. You carefully study the scriptural road map. Then you proceed with repentance and restitution required to get on the 'strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life.'”


^{Russell M. Nelson, Oct. 2000,General Conference "Living by Spiritual Guidance"} 

Guidance Obtained by Study

"We all need guidance through life. We obtain it best from the standard works and teachings of the prophets of God."


Russell M. Nelson, Oct. 2000,General Conference "Living by Spiritual Guidance" 

Study Habbits

"If you have not already developed the habit of daily scripture study, start now and keep studying."


Julie B. Beck Oct. 2004, General Conference "My Soul Delighteth In the Scriptures "

Immerse Yourself

"How do we know when our faith conforms to the will of our Heavenly Father and He approves of that which we seek? We must know the word of God. One of the reasons we immerse ourselves in the scriptures is to know of Heavenly Father’s dealings with man from the beginning. If the desires of our heart are contrary to scripture, then we should not pursue them further."


James E. Faust, Apr 2003, "Sustaining Power of Faith"

Knowledge From God

“Every discovery in science and art, that is really true and useful to mankind, has been given by direct revelation from God. … We should take advantage of all these great discoveries … and give to our children the benefit of every branch of useful knowledge, to prepare them to step forward and efficiently do their part in the great work”


Dallin H. Oaks, Apr 2001, "Focus and Priorities"

Focus

"Faced with an excess of information in the marvelous resources we have been given, we must begin with focus or we are likely to become like those in the well-known prophecy about people in the last days—“ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Tim. 3:7). We also need quiet time and prayerful pondering as we seek to develop information into knowledge and mature knowledge into wisdom."
