I am tackling the Book of Mormon in 60 days. My plan is to have the Book of Mormon studied by the end of 2011. During my challenge, I will post a daily blog of my reading, in this blog I will share with you... my thoughts, feelings, opinions and knowledge about the Book of Mormon. Do you have questions? Comments? Please... lets start a discussion. I would be more than happy to answer your questions, comments or concerns!

How the Book of Mormon came about: http://youtu.be/FMQEb9A9L2g
Scripture Thought (What I Learned):
Chapter 21: Israel shall start to be gathered as the Book of Mormon comes to light across the world. The Gentiles will be a free people in the Americas, and all those who believe on Jesus Christ can be saved. The New Jerusalem will be built and the Lost Tribes of Israel will return.
Chapter 22: In the last days of the earth, the gospel shall stretch forth across the world. Christ's Church will extend outward and establish many "stakes" throughout the world.
Currently the church has, 2,896 stakes across more than 300 countries. Looks like Isaiah had that prophecy right.
Chapter 23: Jesus, while speaking to the Nephites tells them of the importance that the words of Isaiah have. He commands the people to study his words, because they are great.
Jesus commands that certain things like the words of Samuel the Lamanite concerning the resurrection be added unto the records of the Nephites, because they were not properly recorded.
Chapter 24: The messengers of God will prepare the way for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Those in the church are required to pay tithes and offerings. Compare to Malachi 3.
Tithing: 10% of your gain (income) is to be paid to the church by all members of the church.
Offerings: are paid at least once a month during "Fast Sunday", which is usually the first Sunday of every month, where participating members fast for two meals and then donate the money they would have spent on those two meals to the church to help those in need.
