"Eternal principles will take root in us as we take time
not only to read the teachings of the prophets and the scriptures but also to
ponder them in the spirit of prayer. Nephi, for example, took time to sit and
ponder. By so doing, he was exposed to doctrinal pearls (see 1 Nephi 11:1). Take the time to do what the Lord has directed
us to do: 'Treasure these things up in your hearts, and let the solemnities of
eternity rest upon your minds' (D&C
43:34). In a world that increasingly demands more of our time, it is
essential that we take time to ponder in our homes, so that we may understand
divine doctrine and its principles. As the Savior said, “Go ye unto your homes,
and ponder upon these things . . . that ye may understand,
and prepare your minds for the morrow” (3 Nephi
17:3)." - Walter F. González, "Today
is the Time," General Conference, 6 October 2007

“There are books that
are released to the market and quickly become best sellers. Sometimes they
generate so much interest that people eagerly await their release. Such books
seem to flood the market right away, and you can see people reading them
everywhere. God, in His infinite wisdom, reserved the Book of Mormon for our
benefit. Its purpose is not to become a best seller. Nevertheless, we can turn
this sacred book into a best-read and best-applied book in our life. Let me
suggest three activities that can help us turn the Book of Mormon into the
best-read and best-applied book, which will empower us today to become more
powerful priesthood holders, even as those in ancient times.
“First, feast upon the words of Christ….
“Second, apply in our lives all that we learn about Christ….
“Third, teach the doctrine and principles found in
the sacred pages of the Book of Mormon.” -

Priesthood Holders,” Ensign, November 2009
