For by doing these things the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his name's glory." QUOTE OF THE DAY Heber J. Grant "The prophets of God, from Joseph Smith to the present day, have guided us and they have guided us aright, when we have listened to that guidance. The mistakes which have been made have been because of our failure to listen to the prophet whose right it is to guide the people of God. . . . "I know that the path of safety for the Latter-day Saints is not only to sing, 'We thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet, to guide us in these latter days,' but to be ready and willing and anxious to be guided" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant, p. 81). January 11, 2018 The Spirit

Plan of Mercy

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Alma 42:15 "And now, the plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made; therefore God himself atoneth for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Thomas S. Monson "Essential to the plan is our Savior, Jesus Christ. Without His atoning sacrifice, all would be lost. It is not enough, however, merely to believe in Him and His mission. We need to work and learn, search and pray, repent and improve. We need to know God's laws and live them. We need to receive His saving ordinances. Only by so doing will we obtain true, eternal happiness" ("The Perfect Path to Happiness," Ensign, November 2016).

Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Howard W. Hunter "Brothers and sisters, you have and will have worries and challenges of many kinds, but embrace life joyfully and full of faith. Study the scriptures regularly. Pray fervently. Obey the voice of the Spirit and the prophets. Do all that you can to help others. You will find great happiness in such a course. Some glorious day all your worries will be tuned to joys" ("Fear Not, Little Flock," BYU Devotional, March 14, 1989).
