To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I just realized that I passed right over October 1978’s conference when it was ratified that all worthy men can receive the priesthood—and I apologize. This was a big moment in our history and it was displayed beautifully this past week in the Be One celebration at the Conference Center. If you missed it, you […]
Is there any more controversial topic as marriage? I wonder. God is pretty straightforward about this topic. Adam and Eve were brought to this earth, married, and commanded to have children. And they were taught to teach their children so that righteousness could prevail. So, what’s the problem? Why is there such controversy when it comes […]
In our world of mixed up genders, I would like to take this time to emphasize what it is to be a woman and what we are meant to do on this earth. I’m inspired to do this because this session of conference does just that. Before I get into the great things our former […]
It is so fascinating to me that these conference talks are so applicable to us today. Without fail, I have easily gleaned valuable, and informative help from these talks for my life, calling, and personal inspiration. So, this session is from the October 1979 Welfare session. Sis. Barbara B. Smith was asked to speak on the […]
In this conference session, I see powerful catchphrases that help me remember the messages and emphasize the warnings we generally hear at any conference time. These, in particular, are easily the same messages we receive today. Thomas S. Monson uses the catchphrase: “pernicious permissiveness.” He speaks of pornography. Adney Y. Komatsu quotes President Kimball, who […]
General Conference Odyssey post: October 1979, Sunday Morning session Howard W. Hunter, then Elder and future prophet, teaches us how reading the very word of God will help us to know Jesus Christ. A lot of us struggle with finding time to read our scriptures. And when we finally get to it, it’s often to […]
Sometimes (most of the time), it doesn’t matter what I say, the Brethren say it best. This Priesthood session had some really important thoughts in it, so I’m just going to let you read them. My few thoughts are in green italics. Elder L. Tom Perry quoting Pres. Spencer W. Kimball: “’I made up my […]
There are some conference talks that are simply prophetic. One of these is President Ezra Taft Benson’s talk: “A Witness and A Warning.” My husband always carried around with him two talks, this one, and Bruce R. McConkie’s final testimony, “The Purifying Power of Gethsemane.” Years ago, I decided I was going to compile these two […]
From what we learned in conference last week, we need to become a more spiritual people. So, I was interested that in the opening session of the October 1979 General Conference, President Romney’s and President Kimball’s talks gave us the pattern for maintaining spirituality in our lives. The Lord has spoken: “Wherefore, verily I say […]
WOW!!! Revelation to ponder for days! Let me just say, right off the top, I sustain Pres. Russell M. Nelson as the prophet of the LDS church. And I believe he hasn’t done anything any other prophet would have done. In fact, everything has clearly been lining up for this change. It just so happens […]
