Subjects Worthy of Study
Doctrine and Covenants 88:79
79 [Learn] of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth; things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and the perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land; and a knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms. . . .
President Russell M. Nelson said:
“Because of our sacred regard for each human intellect, we consider the obtaining of an education to be a religious responsibility. . . . Our Creator expects His children everywhere to educate themselves.”
(“Where Is Wisdom?” Ensign, Nov. 1992, 6.)
