SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Mosiah 2:36 |
|
And now, I say unto you, my brethren, that after ye have known and have been taught all these things, if ye should transgress and go contrary to that which has been spoken, that ye do withdraw yourselves from the Spirit of the Lord, that it may have no place in you to guide you in wisdom’s paths that ye may be blessed, prospered, and preserved.

QUOTE OF THE DAY Ezra Taft Benson |
“Let me talk about obedience. You’re learning now to keep all the commandments of the Lord. As you do so, you will have His Spirit to be with you. You’ll feel good about yourselves. You can’t do wrong and feel right. It’s impossible!” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 164).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY May 23 |
|
1844 - The Prophet Joseph spent much of the afternoon with the Sac and Fox Native Americans who were visiting the city of Nauvoo. They told the Prophet about how they had been robbed of their land by the Spanish, French, English, and now the Americans and how they had been cruelly treated. The Prophet in turn told them that he “knew they had been wronged” and “advised them not to sell any more land, but to cultivate peace with the different tribes and with all men, as the Great Spirit wanted them to be united and to live in peace.” He then told them about the Book of Mormon. The Indians performed music and dancing for “about two hours” and “the Saints took up a collection to get the Indians food” (History of the Church, 6:402).
