General Conference - Saturday Morning - October 4, 2014 Pres. Monson - 1924 first radio 1949 first television now radio, television, internet, mobile Fort Lauderdale Temple dedicated in May in three sessions Ogden Temple rededicated first dedicated 1972 by Joseph Fielding Smith Cultural celebration in two performances Three dedicatory sessions 170 operating temples when the ones announced completed Not announcing any new temples. The other need to be completed first. Missionary work a priesthood responsibility - not for the girls To the married and the single. To men, women, and children Pres. Packer - The divine role of Jesus Christ. Through the atonement of Jesus Christ we are redeemed from the fall. In Christ shall all be made alive. We all have mistakes either of commission or ommission. We can all receive grace through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Someone must pay for this wrong! Someone has all ready paid. The guilt that accompanies a mistake can be washed away. Over 15 million members now. The measurement by the spiritual strength of its members. Hope - Jesus Christ is the source of that hope. The body of the church - many members. We need each and every one of us to succeed in the work that the Savior has for us to do. As an apostle I bear witness of the Savior Jesus Christ. Lynn G. Robbins - Which way do you face? Not the people to the prophet, but the prophet to the people. We forget bec of the fear of men. Fear ye not the reproach of men. Peer pressure - causes one to feel guilty by giving offense. Condoning sin. To tolerate or approve of something that has been condemned by God. Dumbing down the doctrine as E. Holland says Sis. Someone - When the YW ask - What do you wish that you had known when you were our age? I say, I wish that I would have understood the significance of the Sacrament. Being willing to take upon us the name of Jesus Christ. To covenant to always remember Jesus Christ. We will remember His son always. Not just during the brief Sacrament ordinance. The Sacrament also reminds us that we must also keep His commandments. Turn our heart and our will to God. Greater peace and spirituality. A time for a truly spiritual experience. His enabling power through His atonement. All of the times that the Savior helps us to be who we should be. Our wounded souls can be healed and renewed. To the married and the single. To men, women, and children Chi Hong (Sam) Wong - Speaking in Cantonese Hometeaching / Fellowshipping Done with unity and coordination. 10.4.14...11:01 a.m. Saturday Still weird to think about how anyone under 30 wasnt alive when Jim McMahon was playing football for BYU. The guy was honored for his talent not for well representing the mission of BYU. I felt bad for the other four people at the banquet that their moment of glory was eclipsed by the attention on McMahon. Todd CHristofferson - Joking by opening with Buenos Dias. Redeemed from the Fall. We can choose to become the kind of person that we will. Our failures to live the celestial law perfectly and exactly in mortality are erased. The choice that each of us made to paricipate in our Heavenly Fathers plan. The plan of redemption not just on principles of repentance but on mercy. A God who makes no demands is a God who doesnt exist. Resenting the law of gravity wont keep a person from falling if he steps off a cliff. [It looks like we have Neal A. Maxwell reincarnated here!!!! :))) ] If you say that there is no law there is no sin... No happiness, no punishment or misery. Pres. Uctdorf - Before this conference several asked if I would speak in German. I said, No, but it might sound like it. Talking about seeing the galaxy and the milky way while being an airplane pilot. The universe is mod boggling bigger than anyone ever believed. If we were to travel back in time and try to explain about modern conveniences. Some would believe us, but most would ridicule us.They had not yet received the light of truth. Some want to believe what it is right even when it is wrong. Is it possible to find truth? You must search the word of God. Not with the intent to doubt or crit but to discover truth. Ponder on the things that you will feel to disc the truth, to give place for the word of God. Ponder stife to believe on how merciful that the Lord has been to Adam to this day to lead us back to Him. Ask HF in the name of Jesus Christ with a sincere heart and with real intent having faith in Christ. Given to us by the Savior. If any men shall do Gods will, He shall know of the truth. To know of the principles, you must first live them with real intent and enduring faith in God. Bond by His word. He will grant you greater light that will allow you to look through the darkness to mortal something. This personal testimony of the gospel and the church is the most important thing that you can earn in this life. It will have a direct bearing on your life and into eternity. Our willingness to God enables us to rec more light. The message of God is foolishness unto those who are perishing, but .... to those of God. The church is a home for all to come together inspite of the depth of your testimony. I know of no sign on the entrances to our meetinghouses that say Your testimony must be this tall to enter. The church is a place where we reach out to encourage one another as we journey on the path to discipleship. We do not condemn others for the amount of light that they may or not have, but encourage and commend them for the light that they have. The process of gathering spiritual light is a quest for a lifetime. It may not come as quickly as you desire. If you do your part, it will come and it will be glorious. If you do this, spiritual truth will come and feel your life with its spirit. If you seek, you will find. This spiritual light is in reach of every child of God. Your personal testimony of light and truth will not only bless you and your posterity, but for eternity in worlds wihout end. They got out way early. Fun to see the extra stuff going on.
