SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY John 14:5-6

QUOTE OF THE DAY David O. McKay
"The gospel of Jesus Christ is the crucible in which hate, envy, and greed are consumed, and good will, kindness, and love remain as inner aspirations by which man truly lives and builds.
"Let men and women everywhere keep their eyes upon him who ever shines as a Light to all the world---for Christ is the Way, the Truth, the Life, the only safe Guide to that haven of peace for which people the wide world over are earnestly praying" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay, p. 3). |
