  • “Scripture reading may … lead to current revelation on whatever [subject] the Lord wishes to communicate to the reader at that time. We do not overstate the point when we say that the scriptures can be a Urim and Thummim to assist each of us to receive personal revelation.

    “Because we believe that scripture reading can help us receive revelation, we are encouraged to read the scriptures again and again. By this means, we obtain access to what our Heavenly Father would have us know and do in our personal lives today. That is one reason Latter-day Saints believe in daily scripture study”

    Speaker: Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve

  • The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are accounts of the ministry of Jesus Christ, emphasizing His teachings, parables, miracles, Atonement, death, and Resurrection. In contrast, the Book of Mormon explains WHY the life and teachings of Jesus are so vitally important to the world. In other words, the Gospel writers tell WHAT Jesus did in the Old World. The Book of Mormon writers tell WHY it was so important that He came to earth and performed the Atonement to redeem us all.
