SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 45:67-68
"And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion. And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY Brigham Young
"The time is nigh when every man that will not take up his sword against his neighbor must needs flee to Zion. Where is Zion? Where the organization of the Church of God is. And may it dwell spiritually in every heart; and may we so live as to always enjoy the spirit of Zion!" (Journal of Discourses 8:205). |

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY September 28
1833 - The Prophet Joseph Smith met with the Kirtland High Council. It was the unanimous voice of the council that "it was the will of the Lord for all who were able and willing, to build up and strengthen the stake in Kirtland" (History of the Church, 1:410).
