Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

D&C 21

Being that the Lord has -

"...called a seer, a translator, a prophet, an apostle of Jesus Christ..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 21:1)

...to lead His Church, the saints are commanded to -

"...give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me;
5 For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 21:4 - 5)

I find the commandment "in all patience and faith" to be interesting.  It suggests to me that the Lord will reveal teachings, doctrines, and His will in His own manner and in His own timing...not ours.
