To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
What is your testimony of the Book of Mormon? This is the year to find out. Isn’t it interesting that the General Conference Odyssey is just now reading through those powerful talks given by President Ezra Taft Benson who focused so much on this great book of scripture? I’m talking about two talks given in […]
President Nelson’s devotional address is truth according to what Jesus Christ has asked him to declare. Be sure to listen to, or read the entire talk here. Below is an excerpt, something that is challenging but important for us to understand. “Sometimes we as leaders of the Church are criticized for holding firm to the […]
Because there is a war going on between good and evil, sometimes I wonder what Relief Society is doing about it. Is it okay to talk about issues that are controversial during class or activities? Not to be controversial, but to become aware of the evil around us and know how to stand for truth. […]
Reading General Conference talks really helps us stay focused on the important things, don’t you agree? Reading over and over the warning words of our prophets are meant to help us stay on the path, stay true, and to keep our testimonies bright. The words of our prophets will never fail us for they speak […]

The reason for his talk is to help us counter the negativism against the church, and its standards, by recognizing and committing to truth. We can seek God’s truth in a world of falsity. The message I […]

This is a General Conference Odyssey post. When was the last time you read the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den or Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus? These are classic scriptures that hold a message of truth that we often forget. Maybe you haven’t read all of the accounts of The First […]
In light of what is happening to Chip and Joanna Gaines, where Buzzfeed has accused them of possibly being LGBT haters, it’s not always easy to stand for personal convictions. Where hate is a strong word and has no place in this discussion, we can’t be afraid to stand our ground for our personal […]
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 […]
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 […]
