SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 2 Nephi 28:30
"For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have."

QUOTE OF THE DAY George Albert Smith
"Let us do better than we have ever done before. Let us renew our determination to be real Latter-day Saints, and not just make-believe. . . . I do not know anybody who can not do a little better than he has been doing, if he makes up his mind" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith, p. 5). |
