And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

QUOTE OF THE DAY Spencer W. Kimball |
|
“From the beginning, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has emphasized family life. We have always understood that the foundations of the family, as an eternal unit, were laid even before this earth was created! Society without basic family life is without foundation and will disintegrate into nothingness. … We of all people … should not be taken in by the specious arguments that the family unit is somehow tied to a particular phase of development a mortal society is going through. We are free to resist those moves which downplay the significance of the family and which play up the significance of selfish individualism. We know the family to be eternal. We know that when things go wrong in the family, things go wrong in every other institution in society” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball, p. 204).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY January 16, 2021 |
|
1838 - The Prophet Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon, with their families, began their journey to Far West, Missouri, in covered wagons to join with the Saints there. Their families had arrived in Norton Township, Ohio, about 36 hours after Joseph and Sidney were forced to flee Kirtland, Ohio, in the middle of the night. Their pursuers continued to look for them for several days. Once they were in the same house with them staying in the room next to the Prophets family. Another time they were stopped by them, but the men decided they were not who they were looking for.
