An Insight From My Personal Scripture Study #6

I've been preparing a talk to give this Sunday for Sacrament Meeting. I wanted to share a quote I found that I will share in my talk.

"Communication with our Father in Heaven is not a trivial matter. It is a sacred privilege. It is based upon eternal, unchanging principles. We receive help from our Father in Heaven in response to our faith, obedience, and the proper use of agency. May the Lord inspire you to understand and use the principles that lead to personal revelation and inspiration." - Elder Richard G. Scott, How to Obtain Revelation and Inspiration for Your Personal Life, April 2012 General Conference

So I just added a few things to my blog, and I wanted to let y'all know about them.

On the right side of my blog, I have two lists. They're both connected to my Goodreads.com profile. One is the books I'm currently reading, and the other one is the books I have read in the year 2013. On the later list of books I just mentioned, I have what rating I gave it (1 to 5 star rating scale).

Also, I have a link that you can copy and past in your browser if you want to be my Goodreads.com friend. If that link doesn't work, let me know and I'll personally invite you.

If you want, there is also an option on the right side of my blog that you can type in your email address, and whenever I post something, you will get an email about it.

I hope y'all enjoy the changes I have made!

An Insight From My Personal Scripture Study #5

In the Doctrine and Covenants Institute Manual under D&C 6:10-13, it says, "The actual enjoyment of [the gift of the Holy Ghost] depends upon personal worthiness..." I love that quote.

An Insight From My Personal Scripture Study #4

In Doctrine and Covenants section 6, a two edged sword is talked about in verse 2. "...sharper than a two-edged sword..." An insight I gained from that is that it can cut through the falsehood of those who do unrighteous things, and it can cut to the soul of an individual with the gospel. It can brighten the soul of that individual with the gospel, light and love of Heavenly Father.

An Insight From My Personal Scripture Study #3

"Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward." -Doctrine and Covenants 6:33

In connection with Doctrine and Covenants 6:10, I know that God has given me gifts that enable me to be a better and more strong husband and father every day. It says, "Behold thou hast a gift, and blessed art thou because of thy gift. Remember it is sacred and cometh from above---".

An Insight From My Personal Scripture Study #2

I just wanted to share a scripture for this insight.

Doctrine and Covenants 6:7

"...and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich."
