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 88

 I am amazed how much doctrine is given in the 88th section.

The Lord continues to teach - 

"Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name it shall be given unto you, that is expedient for you;

65 And if ye ask anything that is not expedient for you, it shall turn unto your condemnation."  (Doctrine and Covenants 88:64–65)

In my mind, condemnation is a stop in one's eternal progression.  For me, it would include praying for sports outcomes which have nothing to do with eternal matters.
