In the Old Testament I read that the people commited great lewdness and whoredoms so the Lord delivered them into the hands of their enemies. Ezek. 23: 28-30 "For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated: And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols."
In the D&C we read that that which does not edify is not of God and is darkness. That which is of God is light and continues to grow brighter and brither until the perfect day. D&C 50: 23-24 "And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness. That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day."
Some scriptures with a thought booklet tell us to offer hospitality to one another without grumbling or complaining. Just as we've received many gifts, we need to likewise give to others. We need to be sensitive to the needs of others and be kind in all our actions. 1 Pet. 4: 9-10 "Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."
