“Abuse constitutes the influence of the adversary,” church President Russell M. Nelson said in a short, pointed speech while sitting down at GeneralConference Saturday morning. “It is a grievous sin.”
Nelson, a renowned heart surgeon during his professional career, has been known for his incredible vigor and health — even as he grows older.
“Our living prophet is doing his part to flood the earth with the Book of Mormon,” he said. “But he cannot open the floodgates alone. We must follow his lead.” Montoya said one can wait for circumstances to change or look to bring about new circumstances. Whatever one’s circumstances, he added, the Lord is there.
These habits include personal and family scripture study and prayer, weekly sacrament meeting attendance and temple and family history work. To operate in the correct framework to receive guidance through personal revelation, Renlund counseled members to feast on the words of Christ and to receive personal revelation only for areas in their purview.
While those questions felt “overwhelming and, transparently, sometimes accusatory,” Browning said, the scrutiny also helped the convert to “pick up and put on a pair of spiritual lenses to clarify, focus, and solidify what motivated my adherence to gospel practices and standards. What was the source of my testimony?”
“I suppose the guide could give you long lists of clothes you shouldn’t wear, words you shouldn’t say, and movies you shouldn’t watch,” Uchtdorf said when announcing the change. “But would that really be helpful in a global church? Would such an approach truly prepare you for a lifetime of Christlike living?”
Uchtdorf said the new pamphlet is not an invitation to make decisions solely “based on personal preference, or what is convenient or popular. The Lord is not saying, ‘Do whatever you want.’”
