SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 1 John 2:3-5
"And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY Brigham Young
"Do you think that people will obey the truth because it is true, unless they love it? No, they will not. Truth is obeyed when it is loved. Strict obedience to the truth will alone enable people to dwell in the presence of the Almighty" (Teachings of Presidents of the3 Church: Brigham Young, 75). |
