What I Believe: The Power of Scripture

November 27, 2011

The Power of Scripture

"Scriptures are like packets of light that illuminate our minds and give place to guidance and inspiration from on high. They can become the key to open the channel to communion with our Father in Heaven and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ."

The above quote comes from an address given by Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. His address, entitled "The Power of Scripture," was given at the 181st semi-annual General Conference in October 2011.

Usually I share my thoughts and insights about the talk I feature each week. This week, however, I have nothing really to say. Elder Scott conveys his love for the scriptures so beautifully and completely that anything I say will just distract from his message.

Read this talk! In it you will find many wonderful teachings that will strengthen your testimony of the words of the Lord and broaden your understanding of the power of the scriptures. I love the scriptures and I add my testimony to the testimony of Elder Scott. Studying the word of the Lord through His prophets provides a foundation of support and truth that can be called on anytime, anywhere in a time of need.

About the authors

My name is Jeremy Lindström and it is my opportunity to travel frequently and through my activities I have made a lot of friends around the country and world. Often, the nature of our trips don't allow for a lot of down-time that cultivates religious discussion and most of my friends don't know what I believe or what my religion is about.

This blog is designed to help answer those questions that don't get asked and create a place where people feel more comfotable asking about the Mormon church.

My brother, who posts under the name Showtime, returned in April 2009 from serving a two-year, full-time mission in North Carolina. He now periodically contributes to the blog as well.
