Two latter-day apostles answered this question. “All members [of the Church] need to generate an appetite for gospel sustenance. We must ‘hunger and thirst after righteousness’ before we can be filled” (Ballard, “Feasting at the Lord’s Table,” 80). “If you and I are to feast upon the words of Christ. We must study the scriptures and absorb His words through pondering them and making them a part of every thought and action” (Hales, “Healing Soul and Body,” 15).
