Day 100, August 18, 2014

YOU DID IT!!!

Now what?

"There are three great reasons why Latter-day Saints should make the study of the Book of Mormon a lifetime pursuit:

The Book of Mormon:

• Is the keystone of our religion
• Was written for our day
• Helps us draw nearer to God"

--President Ezra Taft Benson

To ponder:
So does it end here or will you read today? Tomorrow?

Day 98, August 16, 2014

Read:  Moroni 8-9
Mark:  Moroni 9:20

"Our capacity to feel controls our behavior in many ways, and by inaction when our feelings prompt us to do good, we deaden that capacity to feel...A sex saturated society cannot feel the needs of its suffering members because instead of developing the love that looks outward, it turns man selfishly inward...we have ears, but cannot hear, not only the promptings of God but also the pleas of men...We shut out people, nature, and God." --Elder Neal A. Maxwell

To ponder:
How do you respond to promptings or feelings that you should do something?

Day 97, August 15, 2014

Read:  Moroni 5-7
Mark:  Moroni 7:47-48

"The phrase 'love of Christ' might have meaning in three dimensions:  (1) love for Christ; (2) love from Christ; (3) love like Christ...People who have charity have a love for the Savior, have received of his love, and love others as he does." --Elder C. Max Caldwell

To ponder:
How often do you pray for charity?  Why do you think you would be a better person if you were filled with charity?

Day 96, August 14, 2014

Read:  Ether 14-Moroni 4
Mark:  Ether 15:19

"All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not.  The devil has no power over us only as we permit him.  The moment we revolt at anything which comes from God, the devil takes power." --Joseph Smith

To ponder:
What things help you most to prevent Satan from having any power over you?

Day 95, August 13, 2014

Read:  Ether 11-13
Mark:  Ether 12:27

"The Savior isn't our last chance; He is our only chance.  Our only chance to overcome self-doubt and catch a vision of who we may become.  Our only chance to repent and have our sins washed clean.  Our only chance to purify our hearts, subdue our weaknesses, and avoid the adversary.  Our only chance to obtain redemption and exaltation.  Our only chance to find peace and happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come." --Sister Sheri L. Dew

To ponder:
What weaknesses has the Lord helped you to overcome?  What weaknesses do you still have that you want to be strengths?

"The Book of Mormon is Christ-centered.  That is its essential feature, and that is the reason we are commanded to study it continually.  We must use the Book of Mormon." --Elder Dallin H. Oaks

How is your study of the Book of Mormon bringing you closer to the Savior?
