Melissa’s brother Ben, a seminary teacher, joins Melissa and Leann to discuss the importance of scripture study and how dedicating time and effort to the scriptures allows the Spirit to teach us truth.

Ponder Questions:

Am I meeting God in the scriptures?

Do I prepare to read and study the scriptures?

Am I asking to be taught?

Am I asking questions with the intent to learn and act? 

Am I allowing the Spirit to tutor me?

Do I write down what I am learning?

Do I ask questions when I study?

Invitation:

Find a time and create a space to study the scriptures with consistency. Find an accountability partner to help you.
