Quote of the Day

Today's quote is in preparation for General Conference tomorrow.

"In our own time, we have been warned with counsel of where to find safety from sin and from sorrow. One of the keys to recognizing those warnings is that they are repeated. For instance, more than once in general conference, you have heard our prophet say that he would quote a preceding prophet and would therefore be a second witness and sometimes even a third....The Apostle Paul wrote that 'in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established' (2 Corinthians 13:1)....When the words of prophets seem repetitive, that should rivet our attention and fill our hearts with gratitude to live in such a blessed time." (Henry B. Eyring, 5 April 1997 General Conference).
