Scripture Citation Index

For over 50+ years of church membership, I’ve cherished my time in reading the Scriptures, and have always sought valid supplemental materials to enhance my study. I feel that prayerfully following the teachings of our LDS prophets & apostles is an indispensable blessing and benefit to me. Heretofore, I’ve always had difficulty finding those teachings, especially those tied to the scriptures I’m studying, teaching or speaking about. Thankfully, the Scripture Citation Index has alleviated the problem of finding materials that were shared by our prophets, apostles and general authorities. Thanks for creating such an indispensable gospel tool.

I love this app and appreciate all the time and effort gone into creating it. As I read the scriptures, often times, I will read something that brings a question to my mind or something that I would like to know more about. For further understanding, I will then look for the scripture in the app that I want to learn more about. Usually there are several sources (mainly General Conference talks) that have been referenced to that scripture. It’s fascinating reading what the leaders of our church have said and understand about a certain scripture, especially the early leaders such had Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Parley P Pratt, ext. This app even includes General Conference talks that are not accessible through the Gospel library app because the talks were written before 1971.

It is truly amazing how relevant the council given by some of our early apostles and church presidents is in our day. The basic truths that the Savior taught are reflected in the council given to our recent ancestors in their day which can also be applied in our understanding in our day. Even though these writings and discourses are not in our Standard Works or scriptures, they still contain inspired truths by our former church presidents and apostles that should be remembered and applied to our study of our understanding of our scriptures. It is an awesome resource to be treasured as another Pearl of great price in our efforts to worship our Father in Heaven and to become like our Savior and Redeemer Jesu Christ.
