Acquiring Spiritual Knowledge Part 1

Doctrinal Mastery is all about learning to Acquire Spiritual Knowledge (ASK).  We do this best by following the Savior's counsel to:


Ask and ye shall receive
Seek and ye shall find
Knock and it shall be opened unto you.  See (3 Nephi 14:7)

In preparation for tomorrow's lesson, please read the section in the Doctrinal Mastery Core Document about acquiring spiritual knowledge (4 paragraphs).  You can CLICK HERE TO LINK TO IT ONLINE or follow this path in your Gospel Library on your phone/tablet and then bookmark it so you can find it quickly in class tomorrow. 
The path is

As you read, you will come across the following scriptures that I would invite you to read, mark, and ponder in preparation for our class:

Moroni 10:4-5
2 Nephi 32:8-9

Book of Mormon Reading Calendar 2017

This year we will be reading the Book of Mormon.  You will be required to read it once through, but many will choose to complete it twice.  There is a calendar for both options.  We would encourage you to save this image to a place you can find it quickly and easily each day.  In addition to these full year calendars, we will be posting the monthly reading schedule at the beginning of each month and the weekly reading schedule on this blog each Sunday.  Families and friends are encouraged to read along. The blessings for reading the Book of Mormon are great. We encourage you to get started on Sep. 4.  Until then we will have daily reading assignments that will be posted on this blog to help you prepare for each class.
READ IT ONCE


READ IT TWICE
