To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This General Conference Odyssey post covers the Friday session of October 1975. Once again, this General Conference centers on the truth that it is better to follow God and His prophet. That a prophet’s prophetic view is better than a man’s nearsightedness. That teaching truth to the next generation is of supreme importance. […]
Being the week of Thanksgiving, I would like to express my thanks for the words of these prophets. It has been satisfying to my spirit to read words that I know come from my Savior, that He wants me to hear. We can’t remember everything, always, so reading through these talks gives me a chance […]
After reading this session of conference (April 1974, Sunday morning), I learned something that makes me see revelation differently. Revelation is holding the hand of God. We have prayer and faith and ordinances and all parts of this mighty gospel as various ways of connecting with our loving Heavenly Father, but I think revelation is where […]
As I read through this week’s General Conference session (Saturday afternoon of April 1974), I was struck by how many more talks were given on the importance of having a prophet. It seems very repetitive, and almost boring in its incessant delivery. Yet, at the same time, it reminds me of reading the scriptures. Everyone […]
How do we hold on to The Standard of Truth? By participating fully in a Solemn Assembly. Our day is full of progressive thoughts that catch the average family off balance. Compromise, modification, and acceptance are forcing us to judge, or not judge, a given situation that expressly touches and influences our lives and […]
Here is the truth, once again revealed to us. The April 1974 Friday afternoon session of conference has some truly earth-shattering advice and information for us. I continue to be astounded at the prophecies we have been given, and that our day benefits so specifically with those words spoken so long ago. There is […]
In the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference (Oct 1973), Ezra Taft Benson gave us a very direct talk on being prepared in the “last days.” Reading it, just now, has given me a new, improved reason to “watch and be sober” (1 Thess. 5:6). When he spoke on being prepared he specified three […]
The message of the final session of the April 1973 General Conference was, without a doubt, Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior of the World. President Harold B. Lee stated, in his closing address, “I know the reality of the person who is presiding over this church, our Lord and Master, Jesus […]
Are we listening? Really listening? When the prophets of the Lord speak, are we listening to their warnings? And what are we doing about it? This week’s General Conference Odyssey is from the Friday afternoon session of the April 1973 General Conference, Ezra Taft Benson gave a seminal talk on why it’s so important […]
What do Zombies, Mormons, and Ants have to do with this week’s General Conference Odyssey, you ask? Let me explain. As I read through each of the talks, it occurred to me how singular the messages were: Jesus Christ is God over all, He is our leader, our exemplar, and our Savior. He has […]
