LDS General Conference April 2014 Saturday Afternoon Session

Russell M. Nelson

Our faith will be tested and challenged. Sometimes in life or death moments. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstering. Are we securely tied to God or something else? Is our faith in a team or a brand? Only in Christ is our faith safe. So many people look only to their bank balance for peace. All truth emanates from God and is inseparable from our careers.

The scriptures are one of the best ways to find and stay on the course. Danger lurks when we try to divide ourselves. Even if everyone is doing it, wrong is never right.

Increase your faith. Proclaim your faith. Let your faith show.

Richard G. Scott

Righteous individuals have an incredible impact in the lives of those around them. Serve the Lord first. Share your conviction to the gospel with the ones you love and let them make the decision to follow the word of God. We can become a significant influence by sincerely loving people, so they develop confidence in God's love. Giving them confidence in your love gives them confidence in God's love. Share your interest in their well being and then share your testimony.

Ask them questions that make them think and then give them time to ponder for themselves. Help them know how to pray and how to recognize answers to their prayers. You will help your loved ones to want to commit to the gospel.

Always seek to strengthen families. Keep your sharing of the gospel simple. Accompanying resources are prayer and the scriptures. Rely on the Spirit. That is crucial. At every opportunity testify of the Savior and his atoning sacrifice. You will need to study diligently. With a solid, personal doctrinal foundation you will be a source of truth.

Robert D. Hales

The lesson of obedience is clear and powerful. Be careful who you follow. Those that followed Satan in the pre-mortal life suffer endlessly. Heavenly Father knew we would make mistakes in mortality. When we are baptized we take on the name of Christ.

Some may participate in selective obedience. Obedience is motivated by true love to our Heavenly Father. Remember the consequences of our choices.Why do we choose to be disobedient when we know the consequences of sin?

Obedience is taught be example. It makes us faithfully stronger and capable of handling trials in the future.
