SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 6:36 "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not." |
QUOTE OF THE DAY Gordon B. Hinckley "The strength of this cause and kingdom is not found in its temporal assets, impressive as they may be. It is found in the hearts of its people. That is why it is successful. That is why it is strong and growing. That is why it is able to accomplish the wonderful things that it does. It all comes of the gift of faith, bestowed by the Almighty upon His children who doubt not and fear not, but go forward" ("The Miracle of Faith," Ensign, May 2001). |
