Fair Dinkum About the Gospel | 10 July

- Advertisment - LDS Bookstore Jewelry
Here’s your daily dose of what matters most! Fair dinkum is an Australian phrase about being “all in.” Learn more about why we need to give our whole hearts to God.

Scripture

Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.—Haggai 1:6

Quote

People are fair dinkum when they are what they say they are. So, the question for each of us is, are we also fair dinkum about the gospel? Because being half-hearted is not being fair dinkum! And God is not known for showering praise on the lukewarm.—Terence M. Vinson
