An Example of Digging
Recently I posted a video on 17 Missions of the Holy Ghost. I am presently working on missions of Jesus Christ, and after that missions of our Heavenly Father. This morning I thought I would just share an example of what to do when you have a question about a scripture. The text is from Luke 1:33 and illustrates one of the missions of Jesus Christ. 33. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob…

Mighty Prayer and the Word of God
When we want to learn a subject we should closely examine what the scriptures and prophets have said about it. A very careful reading, and putting related verses next to each other, will reveal things we wouldn’t otherwise notice. Asking questions and seeking those answers, we can find insights into the topic that are hidden and just waiting for us to discover them. This weekend I was asked to…

17 Missions of the Holy Ghost
While preparing a presentation for an upcoming conference, I had an experience that led me to study the Topical Guide entry for “Holy Ghost, Missions of” and I wanted to share it because it really surprised me. I had no real comprehension for how broad a mission the Holy Ghost has in this world and eternity, and I’d guess this only scratches the surface of what the Holy Ghost does and how it…

Yesterday I finished getting the full Joseph Smith Translation added into Scripture Notes so today I went straight to Genesis 14 to study Melchizedek. However, before I even got to those verses I discovered something I’d never seen about Abraham before. Watch it here:

A Gospel Question for ChatGPT
You’ve all probably heard about the ChatGPT A.I. system and seen some of the amazing things it can do. I’ve played with it a little and laughed having some fun with it like asking what kind of dog different Lord of the Rings characters would have (a few fun answers below), but yesterday I thought I would ask a deeper question and see how it would respond. Check out it’s answer that it literally…

Judged out of the Books
Judged out of the Books
This week I was a guest on the High Five Live show with Scott Anderson, a long time CES teacher. It was a lot of fun to talk about searching the scriptures with him and he allowed me to showcase Scripture Notes for their viewers. Later, I decided to make a bit of a tutorial about how to set up and do a scripture study project on the topic I shared with Scott and the viewers. This verse indicates…

Want more from your scripture study? Ready to move from reading the scriptures to searching them? Check out what Scripture Notes can do for you.

Dr. Brent Top, former Dean of Religious Studies at BYU said he was “blown away by it.” The app helps people change the way they study from reading the scriptures, to searching them as the Lord commanded us to do. By writing all the thoughts that come to you as you…

Ann Ferguson Webinar - Help Thou My Unbelief
I don’t think I’m overstating it when I say this may be the most life changing webinar you can attend. Learn how to build applied faith.
In announcing this next webinar, I want to say something I have never said on a previous webinar. I don’t think I’m overstating it when I say this may be the most life changing webinar you can attend. The others are all wonderful, but this one is going to open your eyes to the power of *applied* faith. There are laws that govern faith and belief. How do you take faith that God *can* do a thing,…

I returned home from church today trying to find a quote someone had shared in Sunday School. He’d said it was from Orson F. Whitney and when I couldn’t find it, I contacted him and he misspoke and it was from George Albert Smith. However, this did let me discover something I thought I would share. Godspell I stumbled onto the 1914 book, “Gospel Themes,” by Elder Orson F. Whitney of the Council…

Pricked in the heart - Ox goads, homes, and kicking contests
Pricked in the heart – Ox goads, homes, and kicking contests
In Hebrew, the word “Leb” (pron. Labe) consists of a Lamed and Bet character (לֵב) (shown right to left in modern Hebrew, the post image showing ancient Hebrew). The ancient language symbol for the Lamed is an ox goad (or also a shepherd staff). Bet’s symbol is a house. This is significant. The word is used 593 times in the Old Testament. Most often it is translated as heart (508 times), then a…

What happened between the Old and New Testaments?
What happened between the Old and New Testaments?
Something that doesn’t get a lot of attention is the span of time between the Old and New Testaments. After Malachi around 450 BC, we don’t get much in the way of historical background setting the stage for the appearance of Christ in the New Testament. What happened during that time? There was a Greek conquest, Roman conquest, Maccabean revolt, and development of Jewish culture and traditions…
