Seminary Notes (September 12th 2013)

Daily Thought:

"You don't fully understand a scripture until you memorize it. By memorizing scripture you show the Lord that you esteem His words to be of great value- and then He will be more likely to speak to you and give you more". -Elder Gene R. Cook

If I follow the Lord, then....
If I refuse to follow the Lord, then...
The Lord teaches in if/then statements.

Scriptures:

If:                                                                             Then:
Hearken unto the Lord.                                He'll manifest himself.
                                                                   Be blessed individuals forever.
                                                                   Be numbered among the House of Isreal- Abrahamic Covenant.
