SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
2 Nephi 5:27

"And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness."
Brigham Young
 
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Brigham Young

"There is only one way for Latter-day Saints to be happy, which is simply to live their religion, or in other words believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ in every part, obeying the gospel of liberty with full purpose of heart, which sets us free indeed. If we will, as a community, obey the law of God, and comply with the ordinances of salvation, then we may expect to find the happiness we so much desire" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, p. 184).

 
 
Once the land of Jerusalem has been freed from the grasp of the wicked armies that have surrounded and attacked it, the righteous remnants of Israel will be able to return to their lands of inheritance.

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY

For more events in Church History,

1843 - The Prophet Joseph spoke in the community of Yelrome, Illinois, not far from Nauvoo.  He spoke on salvation through knowledge, saying: "The principle of knowledge is the principle of salvation.  This principle can be comprehended by the faithful and diligent; and every one that does not obtain knowledge sufficient to be saved will be condemned.  The principle of salvation is given us through the knowledge of Jesus Christ."  He also taught that as there is a variety of people on the earth, there is a variety of spirits in the pre-earth life.  "Some seek to excel.  And this was the case with Lucifer when he fell.  He sought for things which were unlawful.  Hence he was sent down . . . and the greatness of his punishment is that he shall not have a tabernacle.  This is his punishment" (History of the Church, 5:387-388).
