SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Matthew 22:36-38

"Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  This is the first and great commandment."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Heber J. Grant
"The longer I live, the more I study the gospel, the more I come in contact with men, the more forcibly am I impressed with the truth of the sayings of our Savior in the words that I have just read to you. If we did in every deed love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our mind, with all our soul, there would be no need of urging from time to time upon the people the necessity of keeping the commandments of the Lord. It would be a pleasure to them to serve God and keep His commandments" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant, p. 25).

 

In addition to the destruction caused by famine and war, other calamities will rain down upon the heads of the wicked until they are eventually consumed. These will be days of sorrow for those who refuse to repent as the earth is cleansed in preparation for His Return and the Millennium
