When the Savior’s all and our all come together, we will find not only forgiveness of sin, … “we shall be like him.”

Learn to be … obedient above all things—that you might be able to carry out the Lord’s work in the majestic way in which it must be done.

As my eyesight dims somewhat, I think my vision improves—my vision of the long road, my vision of what lies ahead.

What we need is the faith of Brigham Young and the faith of Gordon B. Hinckley and the faith of people who are our prophets and leaders.

I hope that we have grateful hearts for the knowledge that we have and the testimonies we have and for the feelings we have.

May you have a burning feeling in your heart. May you feel as I do on this day that this work is true and that it is meant for us to help bring about the eternal plan of salvation and exaltation.

Priesthood is the power and authority delegated to man by our Heavenly Father. The authority and majesty of it are beyond our comprehension.

The gospel is true. I know it; I’m a witness of it.

What a wonderful future we have for the Church. All of these things are dependent upon how we accept the truth, how we live the principles of the gospel.

Take advantage of this great opportunity in your life to live it well, to be good, to have good works, and to influence other people for good.

Let me just remind all of you of the great need we have … for couple missionaries. … If you’re retired and wondering what to do with those extra years, there’s a world out there of excitement.

The gospel is true; it is the hope of the world; it will move onward to accomplish all that it must do.

David B. Haight - We as members of this church know the meaning of life. It has been revealed in its truthfulness and purity and is available to all who seek, will listen, and believe. The mission and responsibility of this church and its members have been made abundantly clear—to proclaim the Lord’s teachings unto the entire world.

If we’re ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do it with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength.

If we are to prosper rather than perish, we must gain a vision of ourselves as the Savior sees us.

Let us do that which is necessary to have the widow’s heart, truly rejoicing in the blessings that will fill the “want” that results.

The Father is aware of us, knows our needs, and will help us perfectly.

Whenever we choose to come unto Christ, take His name upon us, and follow His servants, we progress along the path to eternal life.

The constellation of characteristics that result from faith in Christ are all necessary to our standing strong in these last days.

When we live providently, we can provide for ourselves and our families and also follow the Savior’s example to serve and bless others.

We cannot expect to learn endurance in our later years if we have developed the habit of quitting when things get difficult now.

This is the call of Christ to every Christian today: “Feed my lambs. … Feed my sheep.”

Answering our accusers in the Savior’s way.

As the Savior’s latter-day disciples, we come unto Him by loving and serving God’s children.

We become converted and spiritually self-reliant as we prayerfully live our covenants.

It is proper for a mature sister or couple to let their priesthood leaders know that they are willing and able to serve a mission. I urge you to do so.

Your Heavenly Father needs you. His work, under the direction of our Savior Jesus Christ, needs what you are uniquely prepared to give.

Our Baptism and confirmation is the gateway into His kingdom. When we enter, we covenant to be of His kingdom—forever!

God and Christ are literally a Father and a Son—separate, distinct, individual beings who are wholly unified in Their purpose.

However dark conditions may seem in this world today, whatever the storms we are facing personally, … joy can be ours now.

Only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement can bring us peace, hope, and understanding.

I promise you that your achievement of the Duty to God Award will provide you with a living testimony that will sustain you throughout your life.

What has been told to me … can be told to you by the Holy Spirit … according to your obedience and desires.

Oh, how we need general conference! Through conferences our faith is fortified and our testimonies deepened.

If we seek the truth, develop faith in Him, and … sincerely repent, we will receive a spiritual change of heart which only comes from our Savior. Our hearts will become new again.

I express my love and gratitude to Heavenly Father for the gift of the Holy Ghost, through which He reveals His will and sustains us.

Sacred records bear testimony of the Savior and lead us to Him.

Using our agency to obey means choosing to “do what is right [and letting] the consequence follow.”

Jesus is the great Mediator. Through omnipotent and omniscient, all-powerful and all-knowing, He is our friend.

The choices you make—mission, education, marriage, career, and service in the Church—will shape your eternal destiny.

It is our imperative duty to help youth understand and believe the gospel in a deeply personal way.

The emblems of the Savior’s Atonement remind us that we need not stumble in darkness. We can have His light with us always.

Personal revelation is the way we know for ourselves the most important truths of our existence.

[The Lord’s] hand has been over the work of the Restoration from before the foundation of this world and will continue until His Second Coming.

Robert D. Hales explains why religious freedom is necessary for us to exercise agency and fulfill Heavenly Father’s plan.

Follow the example of Joseph Smith and the pattern of the Restoration. Turn to the scriptures. Kneel in prayer. Ask in faith. Listen to the Holy Ghost.

The light of belief is within you, waiting to be awakened and intensified by the Spirit of God.

Standing obedient and strong on the doctrine of our God, we stand in holy places, for His doctrine is sacred and will not change.

The key to strengthening our families is having the Spirit of the Lord come into our homes. The goal of our families is to be on the strait and narrow path.

Pay your tithing. Unlock the windows of heaven. You will be abundantly blessed for your obedience and faithfulness to the Lord’s laws and commandments.

Agency used righteously allows light to dispel the darkness and enables us to live with joy and happiness.

How you bear [the] priesthood now will prepare you to make the most important decisions in the future.

The purpose of our life on earth is to grow, develop, and be strengthened through our own experiences.

No matter how evil the world becomes, our families can be at peace. If we do what’s right, we will be guided and protected.

The purpose of the Church is to help us live the gospel.

Uplifting traditions … that promote love for Deity and unity in families and among people are especially important.

Now is the time to reconcile with God through the merciful process of change afforded us by the Redeemer.

Our supreme focus should be on the spiritual miracles that are available to all of God’s children.

A correct understanding of our heavenly heritage is essential to exaltation.

Never let an earthly circumstance disable you spiritually.

What changes are required of us to become the manner of men we ought to be?

I invite you to … do whatever it takes to earnestly seek truth, to know God the Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

There are many on the earth who desire a witness of truth and earnestly seek the peace and joy promised by the Savior.

May we continually hold fast to the iron rod that leads to the presence of our Heavenly Father.

Elder Hamilton teaches that repentance is necessary and that as we humble ourselves and have faith in Jesus Christ, our weaknesses can be made strong through Christ’s grace.

Do your sons ever wonder if you are asleep when it comes to the things that are most important to them?

The ordinance of the sacrament needs to become more holy and sacred to each of us.

You were entrusted to come to the earth in these last days to do again what you did before—to once again choose good over evil.

Legion are the stories that could and need to be told of women valiant in their testimonies of Jesus Christ who are unsung heroines in our midst.

Marion D. Hanks - What can we do? How can we help this great young generation meet the challenges of their time? - October 1971 General Conference.

Strong family relationships don’t just happen. It takes time. It takes commitment, it takes prayer, and it takes work.

With covenant identity and belonging, we are called by the name of Jesus Christ.

As we come unto our Savior, Jesus Christ, and purify our hearts, we will all be instruments in fulfilling the mighty promises of the Book of Mormon.

We can all receive unspeakable peace and partnering with our Savior as we learn to freely forgive those who have trespassed against us.

Father in Heaven has chosen the pattern of revealing truth to His children through a prophet.

We should learn to discern the truth not only through our rational minds but also through the very still and small voice of the Spirit.

When we serve righteously … , we are strengthening our priesthood link and connecting it ever more securely to those who have preceded and who will follow us.

When we invite the Holy Ghost to fill our minds with light and knowledge, He “quickens” us, that is to say, enlightens and enlivens the inner man or woman.

I pray that you young people will develop a reverence for sacred things, a respect for your elders, and a willingness to keep the commandments. I pray that you will learn to know of the Savior.

Regardless of life’s circumstances or the nature of one’s calling, all members of the Church have the opportunity to teach and to testify.

When we see the effect one person can have … , it perhaps is no wonder that the Lord reminded us, “Remember the worth of souls.”

May God bless us with a sense of our place in history and … our need to stand tall and walk with resolution in a manner becoming the Saints of the Most High.

These are momentous times in which we are living as Saints of the Most High. … Let us go on rearing our children in righteousness and truth. Let us be good neighbors and good friends.

I offer a plea that each of us will seek to live closer to the Lord and to commune with Him more frequently and with increased faith.

God our Eternal Father lives. … Jesus is the Christ, the Redeemer of mankind. They have restored Their work in this last and final dispensation through the instrumentality of the Prophet Joseph.

No other church to come out of the soil of America has grown so fast nor spread so widely. … It is a phenomenon without precedent.

There is much more yet to be done, but what has been accomplished is truly phenomenal.

I would hope that we might go to the house of the Lord a little more frequently.

Surely the Lord is blessing us as a people, and we must reach out to bless His needy wherever they may be.

We leave with you our love and our blessing. May the Spirit of the Lord dwell in your homes.

What has been said by each of the speakers represents his or her prayerful attempt to impart knowledge that will inspire.

We have been inspired and lifted to a higher appreciation of this wonderful gospel.

May our testimonies of the great foundation principles of this work … shine forth from our lives and our actions.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the way of peace. To the extent we follow it and incorporate it in our lives … will we be blessed and prospered.

I believe the Church is in better condition than it has been at any time in its entire history.

Every convert is precious. Every convert is a son or daughter of God. Every convert is a great and serious responsibility.

What a glorious season it has been and now is. A new day has come in the work of the Almighty.

There is room for improvement in every life. … Regardless of our circumstances, we can improve ourselves and while so doing have an effect on the lives of those about us.

If we are to [be] an ensign to the nations and a light to the world, we must take on more of the luster of the life of Christ.

Gordon B. Hinckley - I know of no single practice that will have a more salutary effect upon your lives than the practice of kneeling together as you begin and close each day. Somehow the little storms that seem to afflict every marriage are dissipated when, kneeling before the Lord, you thank him for one another, in the presence of one another, and then together invoke his blessings upon your lives, your home, your loved ones, and your dreams.

Video Presentation

Increased faith is what we most need. Without it, the work would stagnate. With it, no one can stop its progress.

From a satellite broadcast given at the Salt Lake Tabernacle 21 February 1999

Somehow forgiveness, with love and tolerance, accomplishes miracles that can happen in no other way.

If you have never been involved in poker games or other forms of gambling, don’t start. If you are involved, then quit now while you can do so.

These conferences are held … to strengthen our testimonies of this work, to fortify us against temptation and sin, to lift our sights, to receive instruction.

The Spirit of the Lord has been in this [Tabernacle]. It is sacred unto us. We hope, we anticipate, we pray that the new [Conference Center] will likewise radiate the same spirit.

We speak words of testimony concerning God our Eternal Father and His Beloved Son.

In terms of your happiness, in terms of the matters that make you proud or sad, nothing—I repeat, nothing—will have so profound an effect on you as the way your children turn out.

On the solid foundation of the Prophet Joseph’s divine calling and the revelations of God, which came through him, we go forward.

These simple words—“He is not here, but is risen”—have become the most profound in all literature. … They are the fulfillment of all He had spoken concerning rising again.

You are daughters of the Almighty. Limitless is your potential. Magnificent is your future, if you will take control of it.

If we have drawn nearer to the Savior, with a more firm resolution to follow His teachings and His example, then this conference will have been a wonderful success.

Be clean—in language, in thought, in body, in dress.

Wherever want has been created by whatever cause, representatives of the Church have been there. … I have been a firsthand witness to the effectiveness of our humanitarian efforts.

We can so live that we can call upon the Lord for His protection and guidance. … We cannot expect His help if we are unwilling to keep His commandments.

Gordon B. Hinckley - What marvelous things happen when men walk with faith in obedience to that which is required of them!

This is the greatest women’s organization in all the world. It is a God-given creation.

I love you. I love the people of this Church. I love all who are faithful. I love all who follow the ways of the Lord.

What a tremendous work you are doing, you faithful Latter-day Saints all across the world, who carry in your hearts a firm and unswerving testimony.

There is no limit to your potential. If you will take control of your lives, the future is filled with opportunity and gladness.

Make yourself worthy of the loveliest girl in all the world. Keep yourself worthy through all the days of your life.

The key to the success of the work will be the faith of all who call themselves Latter-day Saints.

Be loyal to the best that is in you. Be faithful and true to the covenants that are associated with the priesthood of God.

God be thanked for His marvelous bestowal of testimony, authority, and doctrine associated with this, the restored Church of Jesus Christ.

The Lord is watching over His kingdom. He is inspiring its leadership to care for its ever-growing membership.

Faith is the basis of testimony. Faith underlies loyalty to the Church. Faith represents sacrifice, gladly given in moving forward the work of the Lord.

The name Mormon is an honorable name, borne by one who was a great prophet on the American continent. Joseph Smith said that the name meant “more good” (TJS, pp. 299-300). The book that Mormon prepared bears his name—the Book of Mormon. It has touched the lives of thousands for good, for it witnesses of the Savior and Redeemer of the world, Jesus Christ.

Of all the things for which I feel grateful … , one stands out preeminently. That is a living testimony of Jesus Christ.

Why do any of us have to be so mean and unkind to others? Why can’t all of us reach out in friendship to everyone about us?

May the windows of heaven be opened and blessings be showered down upon us as a people as we walk with boldness and in faith before the Lord to accomplish His eternal work.

I urge you … to utilize the temples of the Church. Go there and carry forward the great and marvelous work which the God of heaven has outlined for us.

Our burden in going forward is tremendous. But our opportunity is glorious.

The growth of the Church from its infancy to its present stature is phenomenal, and we have only scratched the surface.

God is at the helm. We will seek His direction. We will listen to the still, small voice of revelation. And we will go forward as He directs.

Where there is widespread poverty among our people, we must do all we can to help them to lift themselves, to establish their lives upon a foundation of self-reliance that can come of training. Education is the key to opportunity.

Our behavior in public must be above reproach. Our behavior in private is even more important. It must clear the standard set by the Lord.

Let us open our hearts, let us reach down and lift up, let us open our purses, let us show a greater love for our fellowmen.

With this priesthood comes a great obligation to be worthy of it.

I hope that all of you will remember that on this Sabbath day you heard me bear my witness that this is God’s holy work.

I thank the Lord for good bishops in this Church. … May you know that peace which comes alone from God to those who serve Him.

I carry in my heart a deep appreciation for our bishops. I am profoundly grateful for the revelation of the Almighty under which this office was created and functions.

May the Lord bless you and inspire you to walk without anger.

May you look upon the Church as your great and good friend, your refuge when the world appears to be closing around you, your hope when things are dark, your pillar of fire.

Stake presidents have been called under the same inspiration under which the General Authorities were called. I pray for these, my beloved brethren, that the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon them.

This is only the beginning. We have scarcely scratched the surface. We are engaged in a work for the souls of men and women everywhere.

Pray for the strength to walk the high road, which at times may be lonely but which will lead to peace and happiness and joy supernal.

The Book of Mormon converts people to the gospel of Jesus Christ and since its first printing a number of great individuals have been converted by its message. Once the Book of Mormon is accepted as true, other truths become evident. These are that God lives, the Church is true, Joseph was a prophet, and the Bible contains the word of God.

The Lord is fulfilling His promise that His gospel shall be as the stone cut out of the mountain without hands.

This has been a unique and wonderful place of assembly.

This thing which we call testimony is the great strength of the Church. It is the wellspring of faith and activity. It is difficult to explain. It is difficult to quantify … , yet it is as real and powerful as any force on the earth.

Great are our blessings. Tremendous is our responsibility. Let us … march forward without fear to enlarge among people everywhere the righteousness of the Lord.

I wish to give you my testimony of the basic truths of this work.

This work is possessed of a vitality which has never been evidenced before to such a degree.

Our safety lies in the virtue of our lives. Our strength lies in our righteousness. God has made it clear that if we will not forsake Him, He will not forsake us.

Let us take a little time to meditate, to think of what we can do to improve our lives and to become better examples of what a Latter-day Saint should be.

Our safety lies in repentance. Our strength comes of obedience to the commandments of God.

In this great hall … the voices of prophets will go out to all the world in testimony of the Redeemer of mankind.

You men who hold this precious priesthood, bind it to your very souls. Be worthy of it at all times and in all circumstances.

I am suggesting that the time has come to get our houses in order.

Thank you for being the kind of people you are and doing the things you do. May the blessings of heaven rest upon you.

[Pornography] is like a raging storm, destroying individuals and families, utterly ruining what was once wholesome and beautiful.

With so great an inheritance, we can do no less than our very best. Those who have gone before expect this of us. We have a mandate from the Lord.

May we remember and constantly express in our lives the counsel we have received.

My message to you, my challenge to you, my prayer is that you will rededicate yourselves to the strengthening of your homes.

I hope that the Lord’s people may be at peace one with another during times of trouble, regardless of what loyalties they may have to different governments or parties.

The Lord is richly blessing His Church, and our duty is to do all we can to move it forward.

Let us be true disciples of the Christ, observing the Golden Rule, doing unto others as we would have them do unto us.

Like the polar star in the heavens, … there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives.

We reach toward the unknown, but faith lights the way. If we will cultivate that faith, we shall never walk in darkness.

With prayer and faith and in humility, testimony is borne to you. May we all be inspired together. May our hearts be lifted in praise to our Redeemer.

The Church grows ever larger. It touches more and more lives for good. It is spreading over the earth in a wonderful way.

I … wish to set forth, as simply as I know how, my response to what people are asking.

This … is not a cause of ease nor a work without effort, even sacrifice. We shall go on pursuing the path which the Lord has marked out before us.

Let us be good people. Let us be friendly people. Let us be neighborly people. Let us be what members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ought to be.

The Church goes forward on its appointed mission in the direction of its appointed destiny.

Primary has grown until it is a part of the Church all across the world. Today there are almost a million of you children in Primary.

I know of no better answer to [the] foul practices that confront our young people than the teachings of a mother, given in love with an unmistakable warning.

Repentance … is not a harsh principle. … It is kind and merciful.

For the fruit of the gospel to blossom and bless our lives, we must be firmly attached to Him, the Savior of us all.

Rich or poor, we are to “do what we can” when others are in need.

May we do as much with the blessings we have been given as [our ancestors] did out of the deprivations so many of them faced. In such abundance may we never “forget the Lord.”

Our prayer today is that every man and woman will leave this general conference more deeply committed to heartfelt care for one another.

If we persevere, then somewhere in eternity our refinement will be finished and complete.

My thanks to all you wonderful members of the Church … for proving every day of your life that the pure love of Christ “never faileth.”

If you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do.

Our modified Sunday service is to emphasize the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper as the sacred, acknowledged focal point of our weekly worship experience.

No love in mortality comes closer to approximating the pure love of Jesus Christ than the selfless love a devoted mother has for her child.

When He says to the poor in spirit, “Come unto me,” He means He knows the way out and He knows the way up.

To raise our families and serve faithfully in the Church, all without running faster than we have strength, require wisdom, judgment, divine help—and inevitably some sacrifice.

Be strong. Live the gospel faithfully even if others around you don’t live it at all.

We are asking you as home teachers to be God’s emissaries to His children, to love and care and pray for the people you are assigned.

If we teach by the Spirit and you listen by the Spirit, some one of us will touch on your circumstance.

Elder Holland teaches that we can have hope in difficult times because of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We have a life of devoted discipleship to give in demonstrating our love of the Lord.

In word and in deed Jesus was trying to reveal and make personal to us the true nature of His Father, our Father in Heaven.

Each of us is to come to Christ with uncompromised commitment to His gospel.

Surely the greatest of those things [required of fathers] will be to have done all they could for the happiness and spiritual safety of the children they are to nurture.

Everything in the gospel teaches us that we can change if we need to, that we can be helped if we truly want it, that we can be made whole, whatever the problems of the past.

Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come.

Please listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit telling you right now, this very moment, that you should accept the atoning gift of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Elder Holland teaches what it means to take up the cross as disciples of Jesus Christ.

To be a follower of Jesus Christ, one must sometimes carry a burden and go where sacrifice is required and suffering is inevitable.

How do you best respond when mental or emotional challenges confront you or those you love?
