Listen to a Prophets Voice

I love General Conference so much!

Not only for the life changing messages from prophets of God, but also for the tradition of sharing it with family.
This year Stephanie got to come to the Women's Conference with us and she got a kick out of all the women dressed up at Magleby's for dinner before going to the conference.

These are a few things I heard that I want to remember.

 "Even if everyone is doing it, wrong is never right." -Nelson

"The truth with always be opposed." -Corbridge

"Are you the same person wherever you are, whatever you are doing?" -Monson
 Justifying our actions does not change spiritual law or the consequences. -Hales
I feel like these talks went together so well! The argument for morals now is what the majority says they are, but God's way is still the ONLY right way. 

God decides what is right and how does he decide? Based on what will bring us perfect happiness!

Sometimes we may stand alone, but being who we know we should be and being true to our testimony is right and will be worth it, no matter what the "majority" thinks.  The world and the media want us to accept and agree with all their choices to be immodest, immoral and vulgar, but they get so offended by what we believe.  The hypocrisy is unbelievable!  If they don't think they should conform to God then why would they think members of the church should conform to what man thinks?!  How do so many parents in the world not see the benefit of having family values?
Something being legal does not make it right.
All the opposition around the church's doctrine only strengthens my testimony of the truthfulness of the restored gospel. 

It also drives me crazy when others think you are judging them just because you won't do what they are doing.  Living my beliefs doesn't mean I am judging anyone!  I can still love people who don't do what I do and even when I don't agree with their choices I can still accept that they have the same agency that I do and the same right to live however they want.

If we want to help others change then we need to sincerely love them so they will gain confidence in God's love. -Scott 

Being Christ-like is treating others weaknesses the same way you want your weaknesses to be treated.  They won't be the same, we may not understand them, but we all have them.

All we can do is measure ourselves against the Savior and hope that tomorrow we are better than we were today.
