QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor |
|
“We have got to put our trust in God, let the consequences be as they may. And as long as we do this, and as long as we keep the holy covenants we have entered into with him and with one another, Zion will triumph. … But I will tell you what we have to do, my brethren and sisters, we must fear God in our hearts; we must lay aside our covetousness and our waywardness, our self-will and foolishness of every kind” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 149).

Hanging by a Thread: The Rebirth of Our Dying Constitution
The prophets of God have warned us that the Constitution of the United States of America would someday come to a breaking point and be left hanging by a thread. Has that day finally arrived? Is there any hope that the Constitution will survive? Will America rise above its current downward track of financial, moral and societal failures? Who is seeking the destruction of the Constitution and the United States? Why do they want to destroy this nation? Will they succeed? Is God going to intervene in our precarious situation? Did God and His angels intervene over 200 years ago in order to establish the American nation and the Constitution? What concrete evidence can be found of this heavenly intervention? What have the prophets of God told us about the future destiny and fate of the Constitution and of the United States? How will this affect us, our friends and our families? How will this impact the rest of the world? How do we keep the flames of faith and hope alive in our souls as we live in a world that seems to be disintegrating around us? What source of strength can we use? How can we prepare ourselves for what is coming?
