General Conference: Attempting the Impossible

Elder Jorge F. Zeballos of the Seventy counsels us that attempting the impossible, in the case of striving to become perfect, is worth the effort. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are models we should be following.

We are not alone in our struggle. Our Father in Heaven watches over us and helps us because He wants us to be with Him for all eternity.

Through the Atonement of the Savior, we can achieve our greatest potential. God does not expect more than we are able. But He expects no less than that.

General Conference: Seeking to Know God, Our Heavenly Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ

Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke to the saints about seeking to know God, and Jesus Christ.

Deepening secularism in the world arond us makes it ever more important to understand why the Savior's admonition,

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent".

To know God:

He Lives!

We were created in the physical image of Heavenly Father.

The Father and Son have a physical presence.

They speak with a voice. They have faces. The Son stands on the right of the Father.

Cultivate a desire to learn, and humility to be instructed. Eternal truth will be taught to you.

General Conference: Love and Law

Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke concerning the connection between love and God's commanments.

Confusing between love and law.

Why does God love us so much, and why do we desire that love?

God’s choicest blessings depend upon our obedience to God’s laws and commandments.

In teaching and reacting to their children, parents have many opportunities to apply these laws and commandments.
