Your Soul Speaks To You In The Quiet Moments In Between Your Thoughts

Today's scripture ...

"If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he   that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love                        God whom he hath not seen?

"And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth                             God love his brother also."

There Is No Elevator To Success. You Have To Take The Stairs.

Today's scripture:

"But ye are a ^achosen generation, a ^broyal ^cpriesthood, an^dholy   ^enation, a ^fpeculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises   of him who hath called you out of ^gdarkness into his marvellous ^hlight:

 "Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people  of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained  mercy.

"Having your conversation ^ahonest among the Gentiles: that,  whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your  good ^bworks, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation."

Aristotle and Will Durant: "We Are What ..."

Today's scripture ...

"For in many things we ^aoffend all. If any man ^boffend not in ^cword,   the same is a ^dperfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

"Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us;          and we turn about their whole body."

                 -- James 3:2-3

"For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands;   wherefore he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be   ^aswept off; for it is the everlasting decree of God. And it is not   until the ^bfulness of iniquity among the children of the land, that                                        they are ^cswept off.

"And this cometh unto you, O ye ^aGentiles, that ye may know the     decrees of God that ye may repent, and not continue in   your iniquities until the fulness come, that ye may not bring   down the fulness of the ^bwrath of God upon you as the inhabitants                 of the land have hitherto done."

                    -- Ether 2:10-11

From reading today in James 3-5 and Ether 2.
