Recently came across another great service to accomplish your reading goals and connect with other members. Read the Scriptures is a free service to help others with their scripture reading. The natural man procrastinates and needs motivation. This service will help motivate you with your reading goals throughout the year.
As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is important for us to know the words of the Lord to be able to apply the teachings in our daily lives, especially the Book of Mormon. President Benson has stated the following:
“The time is long overdue for a massive flooding of the earth with the Book of Mormon for the many reasons which the Lord has given. In this age of electronic media and mass distribution of the printed word, God will hold us accountable if we do not now move the Book of Mormon in a monumental way.” (Ezra Taft Benson, “Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon,” Ensign, Nov 1988, 4)
Not only can you accomplish your scripture reading goals, but you can also read Church magazines, lesson material, seminary reading, and gospel doctrine.
Some benefits of the Read the Scriptures service include:
* Receive your daily scripture reading by e-mail automatically each day.
* Choose from multiple reading schedules, or create your own.
* Create your own private reading teams.
* Select your own starting point.
* Audio option is included with each scripture reading.
This is a great way to read the Book of Mormon to fill our minds with spiritual food and feast upon the words of Christ. President Hinckley has encouraged us to read the Book of Momron, not once, but over and over again:
“I offer a challenge to members of the Church throughout the world and to our friends everywhere to read or reread the Book of Mormon. Without reservation I promise you that if each of you will observe this simple program, regardless of how many times you previously may have read the Book of Mormon, there will come into your lives and into your homes an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God.” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “A Testimony Vibrant and True,” Ensign, Aug 2005, 2–6)
