Doctrine and Covenants

Hey everyone! Welcome to my D&C Blog.
This blog is dedicated to my Religion class at BYU Idaho for my midterm, because we are reaching out to have some scripture study with those who don't attend the school. I hope all of you will have fun reading along with me and hope that you can actively participate in reading and discussing!

Here is how this is going to be set up; I have taken portions of the syllabus given to me in class and posted it here so that you can follow along with my class structure so we can all study the same things at the same time. Weekly participation from everyone would be great, feel free to post your thoughts, feelings, or questions as often as you like!


OBJECTIVE: To come unto Christ by reading, studying and applying the teachings of the Doctrine and Covenants and those who are called and sustained to be our Prophets, Seers, and Revelators. This will require you to:

1. Read each of the Chapters in the Doctrine & Covenants and the chapters in the manual and ponder and pray about how their teachings apply to your life.

2. As the Spirit directs, apply the principles of discipleship that you discover in your readings.



REQUIRED TEXTS: You will need a complete set of scriptures, a copy of the Doctrine and Covenants can be found online here: http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/contents


Another useful resource to help your study is the Doctrine & Covenants Student Manual which you can access online at: http://www.ldsces.org/Institutes/Inst%20Institute%20Manuals.asp


A true disciple thirsts for the things of the Spirit.

This will be the reading schedule for the rest of my semester, its not required that you read everything on the exact days along with me, but do read as much as you can at least once a week so that we can maintain some good discussions. I will be posting my own thoughts about the reading as we go along, as well as insights that are pointed out in my class to share with you about the reading.


Once again, thanks to everyone I've invited to participate in this with me! Hope to hear from you all soon!
