 General Conference, ‘A Mighty Change of Heart: “I Have Nothing More to Give You”’, April 2022 “Experience a “mighty change of heart” by studying the scriptures, strengthening one’s faith in Jesus Christ, praying, fasting and covenanting to surrendering our hearts to Him. …

Maintain that mighty change by partaking of the sacrament, turning one’s life to the temple and loving and serving neighbors. … This change of heart is not an event; it takes faith, repentance and constant spiritual work to happen. …

 General Conference, ‘Is the Plan Working?’, April 2022 “All of us face boisterous winds that can shake our faith and cause us to sink. When we struggle—for any reason—that does not mean the plan isn’t working. That is when we need the plan the most!

In those moments, follow the example of Peter. Turn to the Savior right away.

“Now is the time and the day of your salvation. … Do not procrastinate the day of your repentance.”8

…Humble yourself before the Lord… Peter had shown faith, both in walking on the water and in reaching out to the Savior when he needed help. Even so, the Savior saw in Peter the potential for so much more. “O thou of little faith,” He said, “wherefore didst thou doubt?”10 (more…)

 General Conference, ‘Fear Not: Believe Only!’ April 2022 “Young adults—and senior couples as well—serve missions by the thousands at their own expense with no say whatsoever as to where they will labor, and members young and old trundle off to temples to perform sacred ordinances necessary to bind the human family together— …

God promised He would, out of a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, guide prophets, give an iron rod, open a narrow gate leading to a strait path, and above all grant us the power to finish the course. So please, please, stay for the whole feast even if you are not sure about the broccoli.” — Jeffrey Holland (more…)

 General Conference, ‘Conversion to the Will of God’, April 2022 “A personal conversion includes the responsibility to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the world. Conversion comes by understanding and accepting the will of God.

A testimony will be strengthened with the knowledge that Joseph Smith was an instrument in the Lord’s hands. The Doctrine and Covenants provides the keys, ordinances and covenants necessary for salvation. But many are kept from the truth because they know not where to find it.” — Quentin L. Cook (more…)

 May 1 — Scandal of the Cross Removed. Hebrews 2:10-11 “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.” (more…)

 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:7

 General Conference, ‘Always Have His Spirit’, November 1996 “The blessings available through the gift of the Holy Ghost are conditioned upon worthiness. “The Spirit of the Lord doth not dwell in unholy temples” (Hel. 4:24; see also Mosiah 2:36-37; 1 Cor. 3:16-17). Even though we have a right to his constant companionship, the Spirit of the Lord will dwell only with us when we keep the commandments. He will withdraw when we offend him by profanity, uncleanliness, disobedience, rebellion, or other serious sins.” — Dallin Oaks (more…)

 Leviticus 19:31 “Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.”

The October 2021 General Conference proved itself to be filled with the usual lies of Mormonism. What struck me this time around was who said what to whom. Today we’re looking at the talk given by Bonnie Cordon who is the General Young Women President.

No doubt it’s always tragic when a large corporation masking itself as a safe Christian organization outright lies to the world. Sadder still is when their target audience consists of the most vulnerable – meaning LDS young people.

Here in part is what Ms. Cordon had to say — (more…)

 General Conference, ‘Deepening Our Conversion to Jesus Christ’, October 2021 “Studying the scriptures is an important part of understanding the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ. …Through this understanding, individuals build trust in His promises made in the scriptures, as well as in the promises and blessings of modern prophets. …

In studying the gospel, we are seeking to become a ‘new creature’ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Teaching from the scriptures transforms people. The power of the Holy Ghost is manifest through them to positively change lives.

The Holy Ghost guides us toward truth and testifies to us of the truth…We should seek the companionship of the Holy Ghost. …

We must seek everything that invites the influence of the Spirit and reject anything that deviates from this influence.” — Arnulfo Valenzuela, General Authority Seventy (more…)

 General Conference, ‘The Things of My Soul’, October 2021 “Things of the soul are clarified and deepened by asking questions, preparing to hear promptings, lifting sights beyond the ways of the world and giving purpose to work in the gospel and life. These are some things of the soul: Love God the Father and Jesus Christ, the Savior. Love neighbors. Love one’s self. Keep the commandments. Always be temple worthy. Be joyful and cheerful. Follow God’s living prophet.” — Ronald Rasband (more…)
