To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I was just reading about Gidgiddoni and Lachoneus, in the Book of Mormon (3 Nephi 3). Giddianhi, the leader of the Gadianton Robbers, has just written a very nasty letter to Lachoneus saying they are going to wipe out all the Nephites. As our prophets have told us, we are living parallel lives to the […]
Why do our church leaders talk so much about covenants? Why are covenants important? What covenants have I made? What are the blessings and curses of honoring or breaking a covenant? President Boyd K. Packer explains a lot about covenants in his talk, given way back in October 1990. His explanation is even more applicable […]
President Hinckley closed the conference, in April 1990, with the positive challenge to make resolutions to live better lives and come unto Jesus Christ. This is the positive message we were given 30 years ago, and we were given similar positive messages recently. Just out of curiosity, I decided to go through all of Pres. […]
I felt this General Conference our leaders spoke to us a little differently than usual. Their messages were very specific to our day. They seemed to explain, in great detail, how being mortal doesn’t preclude morality and that a myopic view limits our view of immortality. Mortal—We were reminded for the first time in a […]
The April 2020 General Conference was indeed amazingly memorable. We joked that it would be that because of COVID-19, but all on its own, it proved to be outstanding in its messages of hope, peace, and moving forward. All of us get individual messages from our General Conferences, as we should. The spirit speaks to us individually. I’d […]
Are we willing to act on the words of the First Presidency? I thought I would take a closer look at what they said to women, in last April’s Priesthood session, and in October’s Women session. You may remember that all the members of our First Presidency addressed us in these sessions. This is what […]
Our General Conferences are getting more and more amazing, don’t you think? We’ve already been given a preview of what to look forward to next year and it looks like the amazing-ness will continue. There’s no need for me to go through all the changes we’re experiencing because as it is, they’re all being talked […]
Ever since President Uchtdorf told the story about a member of the church not being able to tell a non-member what the prophet recently said, I have always felt it necessary to explore an overview of General Conference right before the next one comes up. Do you remember what the prophet said? Everyone is still […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the April 1981 Sunday afternoon session. With General Conference coming, we might reflect, once again, upon how we will react to the work we have all been called to do and will be reminded of. What is our errand in the work of the Lord? Back in […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is for the Sunday afternoon session of October 1980. President Kimball closes this conference with a review of expectations. The conference was full of talks on loving our brothers and sisters, taking care of one another, overcoming adversity with one another, and strengthening one another. He quoted King Benjamin, who […]
