     Hey guys!

     So today I have a list of gospel words for you to read.

• Sacred
• Commandments
• Revered
• Impactive 
• Prophecies
• Truth
• Understanding
• Redemption
• Eternal life

     Notice what I did there? 😉 That's right! If you haven't read the title of the blog (which, I'm assuming you have) then I'll tell you the topic for today: Scripture!

     Okay, if you schedule is anything like mine, then you probably do not have much time for personal scripture reading. My family always reads them early in the morning before school, but let's be honest: it's really hard to feast upon the words of Christ when you haven't properly woken up yet.

     But scripture study is SO IMPORTANT. For my seminary class, we have to read the New Testament. They gave us a little scripture-mark-off-card-thingy to help us track our progress. 

     It sounds SO cheesy. But it works!

     I can't figure out how to add the chart on here, but if you want one for the BOM, here's a link: Book Of Mormon Reading Chart

     Reading the scriptures changes peoples lives. So many people have been brought to the gospel because someone invited them to read the scriptures or quoted a passage to them.

     That leads me on to the next thing: MEMORIZE.

      I remember the first time I went to seminary and the teacher told us we would be memorizing scripture. I immediately freaked out. But it really isn't that hard. Let me show you some tips.

     Here is the scripture of the day: Moses 1:39

     "For behold this is my work and my glory--to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."

     Here is what my seminary teacher does. He takes the first letter of each word and writes it down.

F B T I M W A M G T B T P T I A E L O M

     If the passage you want to memorize is longer, he does separate 'paragraphs' of letters for each verse. But then he just reads the scripture out loud while using the letters. This method is SO easy and it helps me memorize them so much faster.

      Guys, I can't stress this enough: scripture reading is important. We spend 7 hours a day on average on our phones. Why don't we use them for scripture reading? There's no excuse-- the app is free and if I am completely honest, humans spend way to much time playing games anyway. Be sure to use that reading chart! You could change someone else's life.

Happy reading!
