Here’s your daily dose of what matters most! During this mortal life, many of us will experience chains that keep us from Christ. However, through His power, we can be free.

Scripture

Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness. Shake off the chains with which ye are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust.—2 Nephi 1:23

Quote

Righteous living is a shield, a protector, an insulation, a strength, a power, a joy, a Christlike trait. Yes, living a life of righteousness is a chainbreaker.—Marvin J. Ashton
