(2 Nephi 28:5)
-I don't understand how men can take it upon themselves to say what God would have them or not have them do especially when it is contrary to what has happened through God in the past. They claim to be the right church or religion and yet they don't get their power or authority from anyone but themselves.

"the things which shall be written out of the book shall be or great worth unto the children of men." (2 Nephi 28:2)  Talking about The Book of Mormon.
We should cherish this book and try to better understand it every single day in order to apply it to our lives.

I love these verses mostly because I grew up in this day and was able to experience and truly learn for myself the building up of churches. I believe though that most of them are truly trying to do what God wants them to do they are just missing out on realizing that God has already spoken to His children and is still talking to us because of Joseph Smith's first prayer and his dedication to carrying out God's plan for us.

Blessing: I am able to read my scriptures every morning.

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...
