If you've ever taught a class or led one, then you know that the biggest stumbling block to teaching scripture can be the students' lack of knowledge. When I say lack of knowledge, I don't mean the inability to find the correct words. That's just the surface problem. Real ignorance is a much deeper problem, and is a huge stumbling block to teaching scripture. Fortunately, there's a way to fix that. Go with the LDS gospel library and see the difference.
The solution to making scripture study more significant can be the first lesson of the new Bible curriculum: Are You Responsible For Your Own Learning? The formula isn't too difficult, but unfortunately so many people under-use it: when you want to gain more from your scripture study, you need to add more to it. That means you need to read more, listen more, and pray more. The more you do all three of those things, the better chance you'll have of developing and strengthening your scripture study skills.
The most important part of developing scripture study skills is knowing which scriptures to study. I know this sounds simple, but if you start reading the Bible with only the Luke version of the Bible, then you are only going to see the most relevant and important parts of scripture. This will exclude all the important scriptures found in the New Testament. You need to read your bibles from the original languages (Hebrew and Greek for the Hebrew Bible and Luke for the New Testament) so that you can see the authors intended messages in the scriptures.
Another big stumbling block to having scripture study results is learning how to properly use the scriptures in your teaching. In the new edition of the Holy Bible, we have introduced a "One scripture" approach to teaching the Bible. The "One scripture" approach encourages teachers to use one scripture in many situations. Instead of having a bunch of different scriptures for every lesson, teachers can use one scripture for a specific situation. For example, if a lesson is about welcoming a baby into your life, then you might use the words of Job, or perhaps Deuteronomy.
Having this "One Scripture" strategy makes it much easier to incorporate scriptures into your teaching. If you haven't used any of the original languages to translate the verses, then you can simply translate the word for your lesson. Usually you would include the full verse or short line, but some people prefer the shorter version. This makes it easy to teach Sunday school and youth group members how to read the scriptures. I recommend that you teach only one scripture per week using the "One Scripture" approach. After a while you will get comfortable using the language and you can add more scriptures into your teaching. When looking for an easy to use tool, view here for more details.
Having scripture study can also help us understand the holy ghost and the role he plays in our lives. There are several concepts within the scriptures that explain who the holy ghost is, why he is here, and what he does to help us out in our lives. When we learn about these concepts we can better understand and live according to the teachings found in scripture. This makes us able to build upon the truths found in scripture and make ourselves better people.
