General Conference: our most up to date scripture.\u00a0 What we need to hear right now.\u00a0 The question we need to be asking ourselves is-What do I do with what I just heard?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to put all the talks into a nutshell, but what I got out of Conference is that we need to show an increase\u00a0of love.\u00a0 From loving those who are closest to us as well as those who need an opportunity to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.\u00a0 Even those who can\u2019t be helped in any other way than a clean blanket, food, and clothing.<\/p>\n
Just think, if we are pure, we can invite others to be pure.\u00a0 The world is spiraling down ever faster.\u00a0 But we don\u2019t have to go down with it.\u00a0 I love Pres. Monson\u2019s words, \u201cWe will survive a world of permissiveness, because the Lord has prepared us.\u201d\u00a0 We don\u2019t have to be depressed, angry, or resigned.\u00a0 The Lord is with us; He has prepared us (for sinful worldliness has happened before), He has given us all that we need to return to Him, and He remains with us through powers unseen, yet real.<\/p>\n
So, we have been asked\/commanded to combat anger and hate with love.\u00a0 We have been asked to be believing and show our faith to the world.\u00a0 And who will ever forget Elder Holland\u2019s adamant plea for us to know, and gain, an ever deepening testimony of the Book of Mormon and believe all the words of the prophets.<\/p>\n
This is what Relief Society does best:\u00a0 love, serve, and prove faithful.\u00a0 \u00a0And what can Relief Society do?\u00a0 We can do humanitarian service on a regular basis, thereby touching lives throughout the world.\u00a0 We can love our neighbors and associates into the church by exemplifying the gospel.\u00a0 We can even have a ward-wide challenge to read the Book of Mormon by a certain time (didn\u2019t you love when Pres. Hinckley challenged us?).\u00a0 We can be virtuous through our honesty, responsibility, dignity, fidelity, charity, respectability, accountability, etc.\u00a0 We can aim high, and higher still, as we learn and teach plain, pure doctrine in all of our classes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
