General Conference Saturday Morning Session April 2016

General Conference Saturday Morning!

President Eyering
"Faith is like a Little Seed"

We fear that our love for God and the Church may be overcome by our trials. The answer is to have our hearts soften and to create a fertile ground in our hears for faith.

Mary R. Duraham
"Just keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming"

Life can be heavy the noise of this world can drown out God. If we listen to the Holy Ghost we can overcome the world. Slow down and listen to to Lord.

How do Parents teach their children listen to the Spirit? 1. Point out when they are feeling the spirit. 2. Prepare our homes to be a place the spirit is had. 3. Help the children understand how the spirit speaks to them, specifically.

Donald Hallstrom

A correct understanding our our heavenly heritage is essential. Do we know that we are Children of God? Is that how we define ourselves? There is Pain in this life There is suffering in life there is doubt in life. What is our immediate response in these times? We can choose our response. That is the point of Meditation. we can chose to act on the Knowledge of our devise heritage.

We live in a world that can distract us and make us forget our true nature

Human weakness and worldly distractions makes is so easy to treat casually our relationship with God

Gary E. Stevenson

"Where are the Keys?"

With our the proper keys we cannot preform our intended functions. Never again do we have to ask where the keys are, in relation to the keys of the Gospel. Keys unlock our potential. I'm starting to see some kind of theme of achieving our devise potential. We are not left out in the cold without the keys for long.

Kevin R. Duncan

There is nobody who will not be a 'victim' at some point. We can forgive and not me a victim twice. We can forgive and be free. Lack of forgiveness causes unnecessary pain. Every injustice will be compensated, so we have no need to worry about punishment and our own anger.

We all have in our lives Saul-like individuals, who have Paul-like potential. You don't know all their lives, take that into account and be merciful in your judgement. 

To forgive is not to condone. but nobody should be defined only by the worst thing we have ever done. 

Elder Snow

Be thou Humble

If we humble ourselves our prayers are answered and we have peace of mine. Humility increases our abilities. Simply living live can be a humbling experience.

Dale G. Renlund

The greater the distance between the giver and receiver the more the receiver gains a sense of entitlement. The closer we are to God the more thankful we are for what blessings we receive. 

"Murmuring is the scriptural equivalent of whining" I've always had a theory about whining and complaining; If it bothers you enough to complain, is should bother you enough to do something about it, also, If there's something you can do about, stop complaining and do that thing. If there's nothing you can do about it, then complaining is a waste of time.

If life were truly fair, we would never be resurrected and would basically burn forever for our sins. Be grateful that life isn't fair.

General Conference Priesthood Session

Preisthood Session on a Mobile Device, baby. Because if I don't I'll sleep all through it.


Neil L. Andersen 😀
Faith is a real thing that is always in action either increasing or decreasing. Which it does is a choice. Faith is no accident. Again, "Know what leads you forward and what leads you back."
Father is action. Not intellectual.
Read the Book of Mormon to increase faith. Righteous actions increase faith and give it solid grounding.
Also again, we are meant to act, not be acted upon.


Randel K. Bennett 😺
1. Do what we did as children. Move towards our ( heavenly) parents.
2. God makes sure that we get out what we put in. The Sabbath is the Lord's gift to us.
3. Don't give up or be lazy. Faithful action leads to divine assistance. You were created that you might have joy.


Dieter F. Uchtdorf 🔥
Stay true to your faith. Even if you get 'flamed', it probably won't be as bad as Daniel in Babylon. Remain faithful and in your time of need God will protect you. All faith has to start somewhere. Since faith is a principal of action, it requires consistent action to work. Don't be a 'Sunday Christian'. Daily practice the gospel. We believe in God based on what we know rather that what we doubt.
Cynicism and doubting is not cool or fun. Anyone can choose to believe. They just need to be patient and work for it.
Just because you choose not to see the light doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Scepticism is easy. Faith is worthwhile.
Be not afraid only believe.


Henry B. Eyering 👓
When you do your part the Lord adds His power to your efforts. All priesthood holders need reassurance in their callings. Know the importance of your calling.


President Monson 🙌
Keep the commandments. They aren't there just to make your life hard. They are there to allow us to receive blessing from being obedient and lead us to happiness.
The devil seeks to destroy us. Be strong and alert to anything that would threaten your eternal goals. The commandments were God given and cannot be changed. The effects of obeying or disobeying them also cannon be changed.
If you have stumbled and fallen, repentance is possible. It can be a slow and painful process but it is worth it.
Live worthy to carry the priesthood.



Whew! Made it! Now to waste time on reddit go home and sleep. 😪
