General conference quotes8/31/2023 We are privileged to participate in His holy work. The Lord declared that He would hasten His work in its time, 4 and He is doing so at an ever-increasing pace. This is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Please make this conference a time of feasting on messages from the Lord through His servants. If you have not yet sought for the ministering of the Holy Ghost to help you hear what the Lord would have you hear during these two days, I invite you to do so now. 3 Nothing could be worth more than all our Father has!įinally, pure revelation for the questions in your heart will make this conference rewarding and unforgettable. Staying on that narrow but well-defined path will ultimately qualify us to receive all that God has. The doctrine of Christ helps us find and stay on the covenant path. It changes the life of everyone who understands it and seeks to implement it in his or her life. 2 I can assure you that what you will hear today and tomorrow constitutes pure truth. One of the plagues of our day is that too few people know where to turn for truth. There really is absolute truth-eternal truth. Contrary to the doubts of some, there really is such a thing as right and wrong. In that spirit, I invite you to listen for three things during this conference: pure truth, the pure doctrine of Christ, and pure revelation. Imagine how quickly the devastating conflicts throughout the world-and those in our individual lives-would be resolved if we all chose to follow Jesus Christ and heed His teachings. There has never been a time in the history of the world when knowledge of our Savior is more personally vital and relevant to every human soul. The General Authorities and General Officers of the Church who speak will focus their messages on our Savior, Jesus Christ, His mercy, and His infinite redeeming power. Every message-then and now-is the result of earnest prayer and much spiritual preparation. Later, conference was reduced to two days. When I was much younger, conference lasted three or four days. We convene each general conference as directed by the Lord. We thank you for following our counsel and the advice of medical experts and government officials in your own communities. We are still dealing with the ravages of COVID-19 and its variants. We welcome you all to this largely virtual conference, wherever you are. Most of the seats remain empty, but the presence of some members of the Tabernacle Choir is a wonderful step forward. We are delighted to be speaking to you from the Conference Center once again. During recent weeks I have prayed intently that this conference would be a time of revelation and reflection for all who seek those blessings. My dear brothers and sisters, welcome to general conference! What a joy it is to be with you! You have been on my mind almost constantly during the past six months.
