SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Doctrine & Covenants 45:57

"For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived---verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day."
Ezra Taft Benson
 
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ezra Taft Benson

"Spirituality---being in tune with the Spirit of the Lord---is the greatest need we all have. We should strive for the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost all the days of our lives. When we have the Spirit, we will love to serve, we will love the Lord, and we will love those with whom we serve, and those whom we serve" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 159).

 

The city of New Jerusalem will become the center of law and order during the thousand years of the Millennium. It will be known throughout the world as the central location of the Kingdom of God; the capital city of government that will rule the nations during the Millennium after His Return.

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY
May 8

For more events in Church History,

1899 - While visiting St. George, Utah, President Lorenzo Snow receives the revelation placing renewed emphasis on the payment of tithing by members of the Church who had been neglecting it for some time.  He stated, "the time has now come for every Latter-day Saint . . . to do the will of the Lord and pay his tithing in full" (Messages of the First Presidency, 3:312).  The result was the deliverance of the Church from the debts and financial problems that had plagued the Church as a result of the polygamy persecutions of the previous five decades.
