Bite-size Beliefs from Sunday General Conference

In a continuation of yesterday’s LDS General Conference (www.lds.org) here are the bite-size beliefs I heard in the talks that were given in the Sunday sessions.

I believe that:

President Uchtdorf

• Looking down on others is hurtful to them and to yourself.
• We all fall short and are in need of mercy.
• We should extend to others what we desire for ourselves.
• We cannot gauge the worth of another soul any more than we can measure the span of the universe.
• Everyone is a VIP to God.
• We should love others as we love our self and seek their happiness.
• Until we manifest love in action our words don’t mean anything.

President Monson

• It makes no sense that this world and universe could have been designed and created without a Designer and Creator. There is a Designer and Creator.
• He lives.

Russell Nelson

• The family is central to the Creators plan for the eternal destiny of his children.

Robert Hales

• I’m not old enough to see inappropriate movies, and will never be.
• The greatest missionary service that can be given is in our homes.

Bradley Foster

• The influence of a mother in the lives or her children is beyond calculation.

James Martino

• It’s how we react to difficulties that determine our success and happiness.
• The question is not if we will face difficulties, but how we will face them.
• All things work together for good for them that love God.
• We should learn to recognize the good that comes from each experience.
• We should not seek to do our will. We should seek to do God’s will.
• When we are faced with trials we should not complain or murmur.
• There is a tendency for the natural man to pass blame to someone else so as not to be accountable for their own actions.

Gregory Schwitzer

• Good judgment is needed in making decisions.
• To make good judgment you need to put your own standards in alignment with the Gospel.
• To make good judgment we should follow the advice of the prophets.
• The peace that comes from listening to the Holy Spirit removes the fear of making a poor judgment in life.
• The willingness to keep God’s commandments opens to us many promised blessings.

NEIL Andersen

• Time and truth are on our side.
