Scripture.

Book of Mormon, how I love thee! I learn so much each day from the Book of Mormon, I can't describe how much guidance I've learned to find in the Book of Mormon... but I'd like to focus on ALL scripture and its importance not only to me but to everyone.

After Christ was killed his apostles went out preaching to the people... sadly they were rejected just like Christ was rejected and pretty soon the power of God was no longer on the earth (they were killed off, if you get what I'm saying). So this left those who had rejected the Word to fend for themselves. They were given a chance, but had taken the truth for grantate. Pretty soon churches starting popping up all over the place, each teaching basically the same thing, but with a bit of their own twist. Each of them looking for this truth.
This was known as the Great Apostasy. And one of my favorite subjects!

The time between Christ and Joseph Smith's time was a time of uncertainty and a battle of religious beliefs. We believe that Christ Church was not on the earth at this time... but... there were still inspired people working for our Heavenly Father to help prepare the earth for when it would again be ready for the fulness.

This clip is a represenation of one of those who sacraficed so much... without having even a full truth for themselves. However, they knew what needed to be done in order to bring forth scripture, so that mankind could recieve guidance in this time of darkness and confusion. That is why scripture is so important, it is something that the Lord has preserved for his people.
