20 Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
It is amazing how often this happens in the world. Right now, one of the big issues is gay marriage. We vote against gay marriage and the world attacks us as bigots, calling us intolerant and self-righteous ignorants. One of Satan's great tactics is just this- call good evil and evil good. Very tricky!
21 Wo unto the wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own sight!
There are several warnings in the scriptures to those that are learned, or intelligent. The tendency for those that acquire great secular knowledge is to begin to feel that they are wise enough to dictate their own lives and begin to even feel that they are independent of God. No matter how much I learn, I continually feel that there is an unthinkable amount of knowledge out there still waiting for me. It will take me an eternity to learn it all. Perhaps that is the plan!

The study notes of one seeking understanding and joy in the scriptures
Purpose
I have read and read and read the scriptures in my life. I truly have a testimony of the divinity of the Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, and the New and Old Testaments of the Bible. Now, I am attempting to do more than just read, skimming over the top. I want to feast on the words of Christ that I may become more like Him and find the joy in this life that He has promised. There will be days that I will have to simply read. Hopefully there will be more days that I get to sit down and really dig deep- searching, pondering, and praying. Either way, my goal is to be sure to be in the scriptures, no matter what, every single day. Post or no post- I will make time for Heavenly Father in my life by spending time in the scriptures every single day.
