Plans of God, the Devil, and Man

Essential Organizing In the last study topic, we read about inspired conclusions, verses that contain a prophetic statement beginning with something like “and thus we see.” One of those verses stood out to me as very interesting. In Alma 28:13 we read: “And thus we see how great the inequality of man is because of […]

And thus we see…Inspired Conclusions for Our Day

Introduction A phrase we see throughout the Book of Mormon is the conclusionary comment “and thus we see”. It is most often used by the writers as an inspired conclusion to events they have just portrayed. Its purpose is to serve as a warning to readers. In the words of Moroni: “…give thanks unto God […]

Succor the Weak and Needy NOW

Succor the weak Think of a time when you’ve really been in need and someone was there to help you. Was it a friend or a stranger? Maybe you made a new friend that day as they attended to you to succor you in your hour of need. From Webster’s 1828 dictionary, the word succor […]

What is the Holy Spirit? What is the light of Christ?

What is the Holy Spirit and is it different from the Holy Ghost? Have you ever wondered what the mechanism is that allows God to communicate directly with us? How does he know our thoughts? How does he plant thoughts into our mind and heart? In the last blog entry on Inspiration or Revelation, I […]

Did I just get Inspiration or Revelation?

What is the difference between revelation and inspiration? While looking for something online one day, I stumbled upon a research paper by Reid Bankhead. In 1949 he submitted a thesis as part of earning his Master of Theology degree, where he reviewed every instance of the words revelation and inspiration found in the Book of […]

Are we Seeking the Mysteries of God

Seeking the Mysteries Life is a search for meaning. We constantly speculate about “what might be” out there. Have you ever mentioned a speculative thought and heard someone say not to delve into the mysteries? Has that shut you down and caused you to just “stick with the basics?” What are the basics and what […]

What is Living Water and How Do We Get It?

Living Water, the gift of God “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” (John 4:10) Have you ever been really, really, thirsty? Your […]

Having an Eye Single to the Glory of God

An Eye Single to the Glory of God I have always been fascinated by references in the scriptures to the eyes. I suppose I just sensed there was a mystery there when the scriptures would talk about the light of the body is the eye, or speak about the eye of faith and such things. […]

Resource 6: Searching & Making Isaiah Plain

The Savior said “great are the words of Isaiah,” (3 Nephi 23:1) while Nephi told us “Isaiah spake many things which were hard for many of my people to understand; for they know not concerning the manner of prophesying among the Jews” (2 Nephi 25:1). Yet the Savior also declared “a commandment I give unto […]

Resource 5: Search Engines

The Power of the Internet So much has been said about the scriptures in so many places online, it only makes sense to use search engines at appropriate times to find meanings in certain verses. Not everything in the scriptures is meant to be learned by revelation. Why should the Lord give a revelation to […]

In the MTC (for seniors), we learned about using Gospel Library, and that was great. Recently I heard about Scripture Notes and decided to give it a try. WOW! What a wonderful app! I absolutely LOVE it! Being able to format the actual words of scripture is so helpful -- bold and italics as well as underlining, colored text and background. I love being able to see a chapter of scripture as well as the notes I've taken all in one screen! Also included are links to BibleHub, the BlueLetterBible, and Come, Follow Me podcasts. ScriptureNotes also has games to play that help you learn scripture timelines, scripture books in order. Much more coming. Check it out!

I love to study the scriptures, but I've always felt somewhat constrained by many of the existing study tools. I was blown away when I found Scripture Notes. It has so many advanced features built into it, including a powerful search engine, a rich highlighting and note system, and more. Yet it is also very intuitive and easy to use, so it works great for people with all levels of technical skill. My favorite thing about Scripture Notes is it joins together the best of many other resources into one place, such as word definitions, instructive podcasts and videos, and other study tools. It really helps me feel enabled rather than hindered in my study. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Richard Eberting

Very useful, powerful study help. Someone should have done this years ago.

Ron Bjorkman

This is a great app. The collection notes feature allows me to find and organize scriptures on topics of interest quickly. The search feature alone is worth the cost of the app.

Jim Winebrenner

Scripture Notes is a fantastic way to study the scriptures! There are far too many features and benefits to attempt to enumerate here, but it's absolutely worth a try. Actually, you can even try it for free, so there's nothing to lose. Just give it a shot and you'll see what I mean!

Shirley Smith

This app is absolutely amazing. I finally have somewhere to put all my thoughts about scriptures, quotes I love, and connect to resources like Bible Hub and Blue Bible, etc., etc. Best, there is a search that even includes what I've written about a particular scripture. Highly recommend.

Glennis Miller

I like having everything in one place.

Seanalee Bevell

Love this app. And I am very excited to see them add more features. Especially like the tutorial videos to help get the most out of my scripture study. Thank you!!
