SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 2 Thessalonians 2:15
"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Gordon B. Hinckley
"We ought to stand a little taller, be a little better for the great inheritance which we have. We must be as the Saints of God---a good people, a righteous people, a faithful people---loving our neighbors who are not of our faith, helping them in whatever problems arise, yes, by all means, with tolerance and love and respect for them, but at the same time going forward in our faith, the faith of the living God, the truth of the Restoration" ("Latter-day Counsel: Excerpts from Recent Addresses of President Gordon B. Hinckley," Ensign, March 1999). |
