Song:
"Book of Mormon Stories" (Children's Songbook, p. 118.)
Scripture:
Article of Faith 1:8
Quote:
In this day when the Bible is being down-graded by many who have mingled philosophies of the world with Bible scriptures to nullify their true meaning, how fortunate that our eternal Heavenly Father, who is always concerned about the spiritual well-being of his children, has given to us a companion book of scriptures, known as the Book of Mormon, as a defense for the truths of the Bible that were written and spoken by the prophets as the Lord directed.
(Harold B. Lee, "Plain and Precious Things," Ensign, Aug. 1972, 2)
Lesson:
Obtain a yardstick and four other items that could be used to measure a line (a piece of paper, string, elastic thread, yarn, and so forth). Measuring items should be smaller than the line and of differing lengths. Draw an eighteen-inch line on a chalkboard or large piece of paper.
Have volunteers use the four assorted items to measure the line. Write their answers underneath the line. For instance, 2 and 2/3 sheets of paper, 5 lengths of string, 2 lengths of stretched elastic thread, and so forth. Point out the varying measurements and how they differ.
Help your family understand how difficult it would be to use these measurements in recreating the line. Now use the yardstick and measure the line. Explain how much easier it is to measure the line. Liken the yardstick to the scriptures. Help your family understand that the scriptures are an unwavering measurement of truth.
Discuss how the scriptures can be a tool to help us discern and discover truth.
(Beth Lefgren and Jennifer Jackson, Building Blocks for Better Lessons, [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1998], p. 59.)
