And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.

QUOTE OF THE DAY Russell M. Nelson |
|
“For example, each time we have the faith to be obedient to God’s laws—even when popular opinions belittle us—or each time we resist entertainment or ideologies that celebrate covenant-breaking, we are exercising our faith, which in turn increases our faith. “Further, few things build faith more than does regular immersion in the Book of Mormon. No other book testifies of Jesus Christ with such power and clarity. Its prophets, as inspired by the Lord, saw our day and selected the doctrine and truths that would help us most. The Book of Mormon is our latter-day survival guide” (“Embrace the Future with Faith,” October 2020 General Conference).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY December 1, 2020 |
|
1838 - The Prophet Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Sidney Rigdon, Lyman Wight, Caleb Baldwin, and Alexander McRae arrive at, and are incarcerated in, Liberty Jail, Liberty, Missouri. A meeting between the representatives of the Saints and the citizens of Daviess County was held at Adam-Ondi-Ahman. An agreement was reached in which the Saints could hire teamsters to help haul their property out of the state and also to gather their stock in the county to take with them. Some time in December Heber C. Kimball and Alanson Ripley were appointed, by the brethren still living in Far West, to visit the Prophet at Liberty Jail as often as they could to keep him informed of the movement of the Saints from Missouri. The Prophet later records that “We were sometimes visited by our friends, whose kindness and attention I shall ever remember with feelings of lively gratitude” (History of the Church, 3:244).
