Conference: Day Two

All of the speakers are talking about following, loving, and sustaining the prophet. I wonder why that is.

Henry B Eyering:

We should pray for a confirmation that what the prophet says is true.

Don’t take lightly the love you have for the prophet of God.

Russell M Neilson:

We thank thee o God for a prophet!

Man’s ways remove people from office when they grow old.

When we sustain prophets it doesn’t mean that we quietly go about our way listening to his council. It means that we stand by him. We support him. We love him.

The apostle with the longest seniority presides.

The church system runs much smoother than the government because it is run by God.

Carol F. McConkie:

We heed prophetic word even when it is unreasonable, or even uncomfortable.

By following the prophet, you are following God.

In every age the Lord gives direction to his people.

Most of what the prophet tells us is words of strength, comfort, love, and good cheer. Who wouldn’t want to follow that?

Robert D Hales:

As you exercise faith, and obey the commandments, the Holy Ghost testifies what is true.

Feast upon the words of Christ. Don’t just snack. FEAST!

God and Christ are literally Father and Son. Separate and distinct. They work together for our good. Christ went through the veil just like you and me. Although he had angelic help, he still had to obtain his own testimony.

Christ and God are one in purpose.

James J Hamula: When we take the sacrament, the bread is broken to symbolize Christ. “Bruised, broken, torn for us”

The water signifies the blood, and the spiritual suffering he endured for us.

Thomas S. Monson: We came here to obtain a body of flesh and bones, and to gain experience we could only gain by being physically separated from our father.

Decisions Determine Destiny

He didn’t send us here without direction and guidance.

Walking where Jesus walked is less important than walking as Jesus walked.

The end result in disobedience is captivity and death, while the end result in obedience is liberty and eternal life. Which one do you want?

Richard G Scott:
What did Adam and Eve feel in the garden? They didn’t feel sadness, so they didn’t feel joy. It wasn’t until they left the garden that they felt joy.
Sometimes we feel more aware of the negative things than the positive.

There must be an opposition in all things.

David A Bednar:
Such a good missionary talk!
We want to share the gospel because we want to give others the thing that helps us when we are hurt.
Sweet above all that is sweet. Lehi's first desire after partaking of the fruit was to share it with others.
After Enos ended praying, his desire was to help others and share what he had learned.
The atonement of Christ, like the soap in the story, is necessary to become clean.
