The Lord has given us this special gift and blessing of having the scriptures to read and study out of in order to do as he has planned and commanded for us to return to Him. If we don't take the time to do so then we are showing God we don't cherish His gifts and blessings.
-How often do we seek for answers online instead of through the scriptures and prayer? Where do all true answers really come from?
Mormon 8:28:32, these verses are interesting to me because they talk about other churches led by Satan. It makes me wonder if Satan organized these other churches in order to confuse more of God's churches and like he always does present truths and lies in order to lead God's people astray.

Mormon 9:7-8, "And again I speak unto you who deny the revelations ofGod, and say that they are done away, that there are no revelations, nor prophecies, nor gifts, nor healing, nor speaking with tongues, and the interpretations of tongues; 
Behold I say unto you, he that denieth these things knoweth not the gospel of Christ; yea, he has not read the scriptures; if so, he does not understand them."

 I feel like not reading the scriptures and truly trying to understand them is a problem we have today. People don't see or understand the importance of them and even if they do there are so many other ways to take up our time and do that why read them?

This is an amazing promise in Mormon 9:21, "Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth."

 Believing in Christ is very essential and having the faith that leads to knowledge which leads to doubting nothing.

"doubt not, but be believing," Mormon 9:27

The Lord's timing is perfect and He will bring all things to pass when they are to be.

Blessing: I have an amazing mom that listens and helps me with so much.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
