Book of Mormon Retrospective
The first step in charting where you are going is knowing where you are and have been.
I think it would be very helpful for all of our LDS friends if they took a few minutes to reflect on
- What they learned from reading the Book of Mormon this year
- What, if anything, helped their study to be more valuable?
It would also be very helpful if you were willing to share some of your reflections.
I summarized some of what I learned a few weeks ago here.
The things that made my studying most effective were buying a hardback quality edition of the Book of Mormon–somehow having a book that was nicer to handle made me pay more attention–and making a passage by passage summary of the entire reading before each Sunday School lesson that I was teaching before I taught the lesson, sometimes the morning of. That was vastly more effective than our family scripture study or my personal scripture study.

One thing I Noticed was how desperately depraved people and civilizations have to be before the Lord actually gives up and withdraws his Spirit from them.
Everywhere else, He’s *begging* us to repent and come back to Him.
Might be a bit of a weird epiphany, but it’s comforting to know that it’s never too late to repent, to know that you *can* become better/purified through Him.
No matter how many times it takes.
Remember, the Lord looks upon Weakness with far more mercy than He does Rebellion.
If you’re sinning and can’t stop, please pray and ask God to help you.
Sorry if this is a bit too rambling

I learned that “And it came to pass” should be used to start all sentences.

Jason, don’t you mean “And it came to pass that I learned…”?
