As children of God and being his heirs, we have the solemn responsability to learn and grow to attain greatness.
When I was reading this article D&C88: 78-80 these verses of scripture talk about the importance of learning and teaching the gospel. There is a strong emphasis on learning about good things; things pertaining to the kingdom of God and if we do this we can recieve help in our studies of the world that surrounds us so we can be better prepaired to teach and help others to learn Gods ways.

It seems that lately Pres. Eyering has been coming out with some great stuff. The Ensign for this month featured the article by him about the Book of Mormon and it being a guiding in our everyday lives to better our selves.
