October 20 — Conference Quote: Who is the Church? General Conference, “This Is My Gospel”—“This Is My Church”, October 2024 “…the Lord’s Church was not a location or a building, nor is it today. The Church is simply ordinary people, disciples of Jesus Christ, gathered and organized into a divinely appointed structure that helps the Lord accomplish His purposes. …

I promise you and your family protection against the influence of the adversary, especially when you make the temple a major focus in your life.” By coming to Christ and connecting to Him and Heavenly Father by covenant, something seemingly unnatural happens. “You are transformed and become perfected in Jesus Christ. You become a covenant child of God and an inheritor in His kingdom.”  — Dale G. Renlund (more…)

 General Conference, ‘Your Divine Nature and Destiny’, April 2022 “When we sincerely repent, no spiritual scar remains, no matter what we have done, how serious it was, or how many times we repeated it. As often as we repent and seek forgiveness with real intent, we can be forgiven.” — Dale G. Renlund (more…)

General Conference, ‘Abound with Blessings’, April 2019 “…when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated. … That being said, you do not earn a blessing—that notion is false—but you do have to qualify for it. Our salvation comes only through the merits and grace of Jesus Christ.” — Dale G. Renlund (more…)
