To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
We talk about Self-Reliance, but I wonder if there is more to it than we immediately think it is. L. Tom Perry gave a talk, in October 1991, about Self-Reliance where he says, “Independence and self-reliance are critical to our spiritual and temporal growth. Whenever we get into situations which threaten our self-reliance, we will […]
This week, I’m covering the Priesthood session of October 1991. I guess what I learned is in the form of an obvious question: Are we feeling the responsibility as we prepare for the Coming of the Lord? I believe we have been given all the tools necessary to be completely responsible, and fully accountable, for […]
This week, on my General Conference Odyssey, I’m covering the Saturday afternoon session of October 1991. This time, I’ve run across talks about repentance, the trial over the war in heaven, and keeping the Sabbath Day holy. I think my favorite quote is from Elder Neal A. Maxwell: “There is more individuality in those who […]
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the city of Enoch. We don’t know much about this city and how it came to be so righteous that it was lifted off of the earth. But it has been prophesied that a group of righteous Saints will become as righteous as those heavenward Saints and will […]
Our world is pretty violent. Is it as violent as Noah’s world, yet? In April 1991, Robert E. Wells gives a talk entitled, “Peace.” I am thankful to run across this talk, and the hope and comfort he brings to me with his words. Elder Wells refers to the Sermon on the Mount. He […]
Probably the most important Relief Society Documents are the Minute Book, the Relief Society Declaration and the Purpose statement. Here’s why: Sarah Kimball was a resourceful sister, living in Nauvoo, wanting to find a way to help build the temple. She and her maid decided to form a sewing group of ladies to make shirts […]
Marriage is an eternal concept. It’s not just for this world. Maybe that’s why the idea of marriage is being attacked by evil forces? Pres. Hinckley talks bluntly about marriage in 1991. A quick comparison between then and now shows a downward trend and a more modern outlook toward marriage. In his talk, President Hinckley […]
I am inspired when I read J. Richard Clarke’s talk, “To Honor the Priesthood,” in the Priesthood session of the April 1991 conference. There is always something for women to learn from priesthood meetings and I learned something from this talk. At the beginning of the year a boy turns 12, they are enfolded into […]
Here is a list of the challenges and invitations Pres. Nelson has given us since being called as the President of the Quorum of the Twelve, up to October 2020, as our prophet. In order to fully participate in the gathering of Israel, he is asking us to become more focused on Jesus Christ by […]
As we approach the two dates in which we remember the births of both Jesus Christ and Joseph Smith, it is interesting to read Francis M. Gibbons talk, “The Savior and Joseph Smith—Alike Yet Unlike.” Elder Gibbons lists several ways in which Jesus and Joseph are alike, such as coming from highly spiritual homes where […]
