LDS Daily A daily dose of what matters most
Scripture
Go as pioneers…Go thy way and do as I have told you, and fear not thine enemies; for they shall not have power to stop my work. Zion shall be redeemed in mine own due time.—Doctrine and Covenants 136
Quote
One important step of faith for you as a pioneer is to resist going along with the crowd in ways that would lead you astray. A modern pioneer also encourages others to stay on course. When you lead out in righteousness, others will follow you.—Janette Hales Beckham
