Daily Thoughts

In the D&C we read that if we follow the commandments as given in the scriptures, we'll be saved.  But if we don't keep the commandments and do them, we'll be damned unless we repent.  D&C 42:59-60 "Thou shalt take the things which thou hast received, which have been given unto thee in my scriptures for a law, to be my law to govern my church; And he that doeth according to these things shall be saved, and he that doeth them not shall be damned if he so continue."

In the Old Testament we read the prophecy that in the last days the Lord would establish His house in the tops of the mountains and all nations would flow unto it.  There they would be taught the ways of the Lord and to walk in His paths, and the word of the Lord would go forth.  We can see a fulfillment of this in the building of the Salt Lake Temple in the mountains and how people of all nations flock there, especially during general conference when the word of the Lord goes out to all the people who will listen.  Isaiah 2:2-3 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."

A verse with a thought booklet reminds us of the importance of being honest.  Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but He delights in those who are honest and true.  Proverbs 12:22 "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight."
