Bible Verse: “Quench not the Spirit” (New Testament: 1 Thessalonians 5:19)

Faith Quotes: “The gift of the Holy Ghost… quickens all the intellectual faculties, increases, enlarges, expands and purifies all the natural passions and affections; and adapts them, by the gift of wisdom, to their lawful use” (Parley P. Pratt).

“We, more than others, should carry jumper and tow cables not only in our cars, but also in our hearts, by which means we can send the needed boost or charge of encouragement or the added momentum to mortal neighbors” (Neal Maxwell).
