Day 313

  • Principle: Learning about and following the teaching what the Lord has currently revealed prepares you for further revelation. 

  • Book of Mormon Reading: 3 Nephi 26:1 - 26:21

  • Spencer W. Kimball, speaking about the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon, said:

    • “I have had many people ask me through the years, ‘When do you think we will get the balance of the Book of Mormon records?’ And I have said, ‘How many in the congregation would like to read the sealed portion of the plates?’ And almost always there is a 100-percent response. And then I ask the same congregation, ‘How many of you have read the part that has been opened to us?’ And there are many who have not read the Book of Mormon, the unsealed portion. We are quite often looking for the spectacular, the unobtainable. I have found many people who want to live the higher laws when they do not live the lower laws” (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball [1982], 531–32).

    • Why should you be a minister?
