Craig Zwick\u2019s talk, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/general-conference\/2008\/04\/we-will-not-yield-we-cannot-yield?lang=eng\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe Will Not Yield, We Cannot Yield.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">When I was a young girl discussions in church were often about what it would be like to live in the very last days, before Christ\u2019s coming. We would hear people say something to the effect of, \u201cWould you deny the church if someone put a gun to your head?\u201d The idea being, what is it going to take for you to agree to saying the church is false, or that God is dead, or Jesus Christ won\u2019t save you. In the very last days we supposed we would be faced with this form of attack and we would need to be ready.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">And here we are, the very last days. People aren\u2019t going around with guns forcing us to deny our faith, necessarily, but they are filling our minds with enough doubt that several of us are denying the faith and falling off the Covenant Path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Elder Zwick shares the story of a teenage boy who is confronted by his friends.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Ethan was feeling bombarded with opposing values. This is the question he asked his mother: &#8220;Mom, do I need to lower my standards to keep my friends?&#8221; Ethan\u2019s loving mother answered him with a resounding no.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">I, too, unequivocally answer, Don\u2019t do it, Ethan. Never forget that you are a son of God. He loves you. Live by your standards. Stand up for what you believe in.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">So, how do we withstand these moments of temptation, because that\u2019s what they really are. We are put in a position where we are tempted to yield, lower our standards, and give up our power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, in this talk, Elder Zwick quotes Paul, the apostle, who said, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord (2 Tim. 1:7-8).\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">President Nelson has been teaching us how to recognize the power within us. The power that comes from going to the temple, keeping our covenants, calling upon angels, recognizing the power of the priesthood that is available all around us. As baptized members of Christ\u2019s church, we have an unearthly power, a heavenly power, that is more powerful than Satan is. If we can remember, in times of fear and doubt, to call upon the powers of heaven to strengthen us, the temptation goes away and is replaced with strength from on high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">When our faith is based upon our Savior, Jesus Christ, we will remember Him when we need Him. He will fight our battles. He will swoop down and save us and pull us out of the weak grasp of the adversary. Our power to overcome is simply a prayer away.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday afternoon session of the April 2008 General Conference.
