SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 21:4-5
"Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; for his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith. For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his name's glory."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Harold B. Lee
"Look to the President of the Church for your instructions. If ever there is a conflict, you keep your eyes on the President if you want to walk in the light. . . .
"Sometimes we die spiritually and cut ourselves off from pure spiritual light and forget that today, here and now, we have a prophet" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee, p. 85, 86). |
Library: Latter Day Light Chapter 5: The Law of the Fast
"Fast offerings have long constituted the means from which the needs of the Lord's poor have been provided. . . . If we give a generous fast offering, we shall increase our own prosperity both spiritually and temporally" (Spener W. Kimball, Conference Report, October 1977, 125-126).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY January 15

1836 - The Prophet Joseph meets in council with the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and with his counselors in a special meeting. During this meeting the Prophet declared that the "Twelve are not subject to any other than the first Presidency" and "where I am not, there is no First Presidency over the Twelve" (History of the Church, 2:374). This statement would later have more meaning during the succession question in Nauvoo, Illinois, after the death of the Prophet Joseph.
1839 - The Prophet Joseph and his companions were still suffering in Liberty Jail, Missouri. Brigham Young, President of the Quorum of the Twelve, was working with the remaining leadership to organize the Saints removal from Missouri. Special efforts were made to help the poor leave the state of Missouri. A majority of the Saints fled to Illinois, with others going to Iowa or other places east.
As we planned to expand the "Today in Church History" section and add new material, it was decided to provide a link to our new website to keep the email to a manageable size with a simple link to provide you with the additional information. We hope you will enjoy the additional history and other material in the future. Thank you for your patience as our website comes online and we adjust to these changes. |
