President Nelson's Scripture Challenge

*I just updated this to include a link to the full document at the bottom of this post. I am so excited so many have joined me in doing this challenge. I know we're blessed for following counsel from the leaders of our church. If the link doesn't work, feel free to email me at ashleyjaggi at gmail.*

One of the leaders in my church issued a challenge in January to read all the citations about Jesus Christ as listed in the back of the scriptures and promised those listening that if they would proceed to learn all they can about Jesus Christ, their love for Him and for God’s laws would grow beyond what they could currently imagine. This seemed overwhelming and I quickly gave up. But then he posted that he did this in just 6 weeks and gave us an idea of how in this post.

Here is the picture he posted. There are 2,249 citations in the scriptures we use.



Now that he made it more concrete for me, I'm going to try again. I plan to break it into 90 days, which is 25 citations a day. I copied the citations into a word doc similar to the printed sheets he used to help me keep track. I can send them to you if you'd like. :)


Here is a link to the full doc. I printed the first page separately as a reference throughout and then the pages 2 to 30 front and back.

Want to join me?

  2. I just started yesterday. I'm averaging about 90 scriptures per day. It makes reading way easier and not seem so long of a read when you bounce around to different verses.

    I hope to have your second half of the verses when I get close to finishing the first half. Please :)

    Thanks,

    Jeremy (same guy who posted the post yesterday, but from a different email address)
