SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Abraham 3:25-26
"And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them; and they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Spencer W. Kimball
"This, then, is our program: to reaffirm and boldly carry forward the work of God in cleanliness, uprightness, and to take that gospel of truth to that world that needs so much that godly life.
"Eternal life is our goal. It can be reached only by following the path our Lord has marked out for us" ("Guidelines to Carry Forth the Work of God in Cleanliness," Ensign, May. 1974). |
"THAT YE MAY SHOW FORTH GOOD EXAMPLES UNTO THEM IN ME" (ALMA 17:11)
"Our boys go out with little training to prepare them for missionary work, and they meet the learned and the educated of the land. Yet they are able to show them things that they have never dreamed of. Yes, this work is not a common work. It is the most wonderful thing in all this world."

1838 - About this time, a member of the Church in the Kirtland, Ohio, area, a brother Thomlinson, had been trying to sell his property without success. He asked Brigham Young for advice. He was told he would sell it if he would do what was right and obey counsel. Three days latter it sold and he gave $300 to Brigham Young who then sent it to the Prophet Joseph, providing him with the funds necessary to take his family to Missouri.
1843 - It was a day of fasting, praise, and prayer, a day of jubilee, in Nauvoo, Illinois, to express thanksgiving to God for the deliverance of the Prophet Joseph Smith from his enemies in Missouri during the recent court proceedings in Springfield, Illinois. Several meetings were held around the city, the Prophet attending and speaking at the one held at his home.
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. |
