Not to show favoritism or to use this phrase lightly but this was one of my favorite talks this last session. This is our goal with the youth. I have found a lot of youth know a lot of answers but do they actually believe them?
LDS General Conference Talks
Choices
by Thomas S. Monson
This may be a short message but it is still quite powerful. It all comes down to our choices we make. That is the secret of life, really. We are given a life to learn how to choose.
The Greatest Leaders Are the Greatest Followers
by Stephen W. Owen
I did not see this talk initially during conference but I sure highlighted a good portion of it when I read it in the Ensign. In fact, it made such an impact on me that I have used it for training purposes. That’s why I’m sneaking it in here now.
Always Retain a Remission of Your Sins
by David A. Bednar
“We are imperfect human beings striving to live in mortality according to Heavenly Father’s perfect plan of eternal progression. The requirements of His plan are glorious, merciful, and rigorous. We may at times be filled with determination and at other times feel totally inadequate. We may wonder if we spiritually can ever fulfill the commandment to stand spotless before Him at the last day.”
The Sacred Place of Restoration
by Jairo Mazzagardi
This is a powerful talk that took some time to grow on me. You think at first reading, it’s all about the Restoration. But that is a mere side note.
To the Rescue: We Can Do It
by Mervyn B. Arnold
Until recently, this has been a fairly abstract assignment. Sure, I’ve always known people who could benefit from the gospel. There are always opportunities for missionary work. I’ve tried to reach out to co-workers, visiting teaching sisters, and others under my stewardship.
Whoso Receiveth Them, Receiveth Me
by Neil L. Andersen
I believe in the power of youth. I know anyone can rise above the ashes that they may call home and fly. I have seen the testimony of the gospel take hold of just one member of the family and take root. Anyone can believe, experiment upon the word, and progress.
Standing with the Leaders of the Church
by Ronald A. Rasband
Picture Moses. You’re thinking he looks a lot of Charlton Heston, aren’t you? You’re probably picturing him either parting the Red Sea or receiving the Ten Commandments. Those are great images of him.
But I want you to picture him on a hill, watching a battle between Amalek and Israel with his arms outstretched. When he lowered his arms, Amalek began overpowering Israel. As long as he kept his arms stretched out, Israel prevailed.
That I Might Draw All Men unto Me
by Dale G. Renlund
The Atonement of Jesus Christ is only limited by us. We put limits on what it can and can’t do. But it is actually limitless in its power and ability.
The Healing Ointment of Forgiveness
by Kevin R. Duncan
I’ll admit it. This is not easy for me. While my talent is to constantly see the other side of the coin, there are some people I have not offered my forgiveness to. Who am I hurting when I do that?
