Divine Chastening by D Todd Christofferson
Heavenly Father wants the most for us and asks much from us. The judgement is the judgement of the final results of our acts throughout our life. We need to become what our heavenly father wants us to become. God makes demands on us that we should stand up to doing. The God of the Bible ask for sacrifice of all things even your life. Willingness to listen and accept correction. Divine chastening. We should become self correcting. To do this we should become more self aware. We need to ask ourselves what can we do better. Deny yourselves of all un-Godliness.
Tithing Evening by Carl B Pratt
Great story about a mexican family that paid their tithing when they did not think they would have money to pay for things. We are all indebted to the Lord. Let's be honest when we pay our tithing. Pay tithing in all cases not just in times of abundance. Do not delay to offer the first fruits. We should pay our tithing as soon as we get paid. The promise is not always wealth. He blesses us with wisdom and spiritual blessings. He can help us enjoy harmony and peace in the home when we pay our tithing.
Be-Do by Lynn G Robbins
We should be like Christ. He is our Example. To be and to do are inseparable. Those that do with out being are hypocrits. Same with those that be with out do.
- To Be lists need to be developed.
- To Do lists need to be developed as well.
We are never done being good parents. The best thing we can do is help our children become like Christ. We show our children the best way to follow Christ through our discipline. We need to teach the children consequences of their actions with love and kindness. Do not remove the consequences from their actions. We need to work the Be of the children not just the Do. We need to make sure that they do not hear what they Do by who they are their Be. We cannot ignore their Do, but we should focus on their Be.
Great talk that needs to be read again.
Becoming Saints by Benjamin De Hoyos
We need to become saint of Jesus Christ through the simple things we do in our lives.
- Prayer,
- Attend church,
- Study scriptures,
- Help each other,
- Serve missions
- Demonstrate charity in their lives.
The Saviour will nourish us when we follow the things that he has asked us. We need to place our confidence in the Lord and he will help us get through the hard times in our lives.
Repentance, Coming back to the Lord by C Scott Grow
Great story about a lost soul that came back to the Church and the Lord. A man that repents of their sins will confess them and forsake them. The Atonement is the greatest gift that we have been given. Christ took upon the sins and the illness, pain and sorrow of his people. He felt the anguish if sin and sorrow. Repent, Repent you do not know how bad the suffering will be and could be. Place our sins and sorrow at the foot of the atonement. The Atonement can take away all sins, expect for Sons of Perdition. Forgive those that transgressed against you forgive yourself.
Just because we sin does not mean we take the consequences of the sin away when we repent, but we can change our lives and move on. Another great talk on repentance and the atonement.
Ensign to the Nations by Jeffery R Holland
Story about ensign peak. The Conference is done by divine revelation. No topics are given to the people giving the talks at the conference. The miracle of the conference talks is that it is coordinated by Heaven through personal revelation of the individual person giving the talk. It is amazing that the talks can be targeted to millions of people of different ages, cultures and situations in their lives. The conference calls everyone to come unto Christ, and tells those that are trying to follow Christ to step it up and help people become the best that they can. The more we come unto Christ the more stringent it becomes. We invite all to come to Christ through kindness and all inclusiveness. And we also need to grow those people to true discipleship which is hard and exact. We need to listen by the spirit so we can hear what we need to.
Closing comments by Thomas S Monson
He talked about the gratitude of the work that the apostles and the members of the Church. Then he talked about the gratefulness of the Saviour for his sacrifice for us. Christ taught us how to live and how to die. He testified of the true nature of Christ. Great testimony of Christ and what we should remember during this easter season.
