SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 2 Nephi 10:23
"And now remember, remember, my brethren, that whosoever perisheth, perisheth unto himself; and whosoever doeth iniquity, doeth it unto himself; for behold, ye are free; ye are permitted to act for yourselves; for behold, God hath given unto you a knowledge and he hath made you free."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY David O. McKay
"I am not one of those who see in the world catastrophes the hand of God as their cause. I do not believe that God has caused the misery in the world today. I do believe that the conditions of the world today are a direct result---an inevitable result---of disobedience to God's laws.
"With free agency there comes responsibility. . . .
"Man radiates what he is, and that radiation affects to a greater or less degree every person who comes within that radiation. . . .
"God is standing in the shadows of eternity, it seems to me, deploring the inevitable results of the follies, the transgressions, and the sins of his wayward children, but we cannot blame Him . . .
"The power of choice is within you---the roads are clearly marked. In making the choice, may God give you clear-seeing, strong wills, courageous hearts" (The Improvement Era, 65:86). |
