Understanding the Scriptures, part 3 | March 9-15 2026 | CFM Old Testament | Primarily Scripture with Cindy Young
Episode Description
Cindy Young shares part three of her tips for understanding scripture. She explains that the manual skips some chapters and verses, encouraging beginners to focus on more relevant, doctrine-rich passages and return to harder sections later. She teaches viewers to look for lessons in the stories, using Joseph’s refusal of Potiphar’s wife in Genesis 39 to identify adultery and the need for sexual purity, then to apply the lesson personally. Her final tip emphasizes inviting the Holy Ghost—through prayer, pondering, worthiness, or music—since “interpretations belong to God,” and the Lord being with Joseph models how spiritual help leads to understanding.

Don't forget the parable of the snowball: listening to someone else talk about the gospel is like having snowballs thrown at you. Reading the scriptures is like making your own snowball. Taking the time to search, ponder, and pray about what you've read is like rolling the snowball around and around so that it grows and grows. So don't just listen to me - please go read for yourself so your knowledge and testimony can grow and grow!!
