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 20

The Lord has declared - 

"...he created man, male and female, after his own image and in his own likeness, created he them;

19 And gave unto them commandments that they should love and serve him, the only living and true God, and that he should be the only being whom they should worship."  (Doctrine and Covenants 20:18–19)

That revelation is interesting..."the only being whom they should worship".  Even the definition of "worship" is interesting - 

"to honor or show reverence for as a divine being or supernatural power...to regard with great or extravagant respect, honor, or devotion"

I believe we are to worship the Father in the name of Jesus Christ...but the Father has instructed us to follow Jesus Christ.  I also belief the scriptures us God for Godhead.  By the very definition of  "worship",  we worship both the Father and the Son.
