General Conference was so interesting to me this weekend since I was looking for ‘bite-size’ beliefs to share with my seminary class and on my blog.
The conference archive can be watched here: www.lds.org
Here are some of the beliefs I captured in the Sunday session:
- Successful travelers resist all distractions.
- In days of despair hope is found in the Savior.
- Rationalization is foolish.
- We are responsible for our time and what we do with it.
- After we experience a change in heart we must take good care of it.
- Stay true and faithful to what is right and blessings will flow.
- We all have the God given gift of moral agency.
- Truth is not relative.
- Self-discipline has eroded so society now tries to keep order by control and regulation.
- In the end it is only the internal moral compass that controls civility.
- The lack of internal control by individuals leads to external control by governments.
- Intelligent use of agency requires knowledge of the truth.
- We cannot assume that the future will be like the past.
- Mere wanting is not a proper guide for conduct.

As a former Seminary Teacher myself, I always enjoy searching for the principles and doctrines that are taught with such clarity, each General Conference. I love the ones that you have identified here. Thank you for sharing:-)

I've always called them "refrigerator phrases" but I like "bite-size beliefs" better! Your examples are the dessert-tray from this weekend's conference.
Nice list. Thanks for compiling it. Yep, I taught daly morning seminary in my 20s. So I admire the good work you do.
