SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Alma 31:5
"And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just---yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them---therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Ezra Taft Benson
"But when individual members and families immerse themselves in the scriptures regularly and consistently, these other areas of activity will automatically come. Testimonies will increase. Commitment will be strengthened. Families will be fortified. Personal revelation will flow" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 120). |

1843 - The Prophet Joseph spoke to the workers on the Nauvoo House and encouraged them in completing it saying, "the building of the Nauvoo House is just as sacred in my view as the Temple." He also spoke of the rumors and stories going around Nauvoo and asked that they be stopped. He also talked of his persecution over the years. He also states, "In relation to politics, I will speak as a man; but in relation to religion I will speak in authority"(History of the Church, 5:285).
1844 - The Prophet Joseph again met with the Twelve Apostles to discuss sending a company of men to look for a location in the west for the Saints to move to. Several brethren were chosen and volunteered for the journey. They were requested to meet with the Twelve a couple days later. In the evening, the Prophet Joseph attended a lecture in the assembly room above the Red Brick Store given by an Episcopalian reverend, Mr. De Wolfe. The Prophet then spoke on the importance of obedience to God saying, "The object with me is to obey and teach others to obey God in just what HE tells us to do. It mattereth not whether the principle is popular or unpopular, I will always maintain a true principle, even if I stand alone in it" (History of the Church, 6:223).
