Scripture and gospel study on the Internet

July 9th, 2007 by Richard K Miller | Filed under Cool Sites, Mormon, Podcasting, Web 2.0.

If you're new here, read more about the More Good Foundation. We help members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon church) share their beliefs on the Internet. Learn more about what Mormons believe or talk with Mormons at LDS.net.

Here are four ways the Internet can help you study the scriptures and other gospel material more consistently and more conveniently.

  1. Be reminded each day to read the scriptures — Visit ReadTheScriptures.com to sign up for a daily scripture study email. You choose what you’re reading and how fast you want to go. There’s also an option for “notes” and “journal”. (This site had a few broken links when I tried it, but it’s a great concept.)
  2. Get the scriptures downloaded to your iPod by podcast — Visit ScriptureCast.net, choose the book of scripture you’re reading, and select how fast you want to read (listen) or by what date you want to finish. Each day new audio is downloaded to your iPod so you can listen to your scriptures on the go.
  3. Subscribe to the home teaching and visiting teaching messages, Ensign articles, priesthood and Relief Society lessons, and General Conference talks. Visit IfYeArePrepared.org and subscribe with iTunes (podcast) or by email.
  4. If you have a shiny new iPhone, there’s an iPhone-friendly version of the standard works at tall.mountainmighty.com and at ReadScriptures.com. Very cool.

    Wow! This is a great post! This is just the kind of stuff I am looking for! I love web 2.0… especially when applied to the church. I have been using readthescriptures.com for quite some time and love it, but the other’s are new to me. I look forward to using them to augment my study! Thanks!

    Thanks, Jeff! I like your blog on Web 2.0 + education. I forwarded it to my uncle who’s an educator in Draper, UT.

    Also, check out http://americantestament.blogspot.com which is a “Cliff’s Notes” version of scripture study and a friendly introduction for those who keep finding excuses not to read the Book of Mormon.

    I also REALLY like the Book of Mormon. So, why not write a blog about it? :)
