Elder Bednar Speaks at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

[@helenjohnson7583]

Elder Bednar is always articulate and clear. Hearing him speak in conference as a new apostle made me want to return to church.

[@churchnewsroom]

Hi Helen, thank you for tuning in and sharing your comment. We hope you know you are loved and needed, and always welcome at church. Visit comeuntochrist.org?cid=42001274 to find a Church unit or meetinghouse near you, or to request a visit from missionaries.

[@joeshawcroft7121]

I love this testimony of Christ. I hope some in the audience feel the spirit of his words.

[@robbrownstone]

All because of one 14 year old boy's prayer and a book that witnesses to the world that Christ is the Redeemer and Savior. Truly the fulfillment of Daniel's prophetic stone rolling forth. God lives and His Son's infinite love and mercy will save all who have faith on His name.

[@geoffturner4372]

Hahaha!

[@darlenepedersen4145]

Fast and pray for the safety of our beloved leaders who teach and preach of Christ. There is no safer place to be in this world of much turmoil and confusion than by the guidance of these leaders of moral discipline. Thank you Elder Bernard for your brilliance and true caring for all of God's children in every nation of the world.

[@rncondie]

It is nice to see our tithing (10% of our income) and a generous fast bless God’s children throughout the world.

[@timrossmultimedia]

Excellent presentation, Elder Bednar. You represent the members of our church in the best light. We appreciate your sacrifices and efforts on our behalf.

[@CalledtoShare]

Thank you so much for your inspiring words Elder Bednar!

[@billyfairbank]

Some very famous members of the church sitting with Elder Bednar. "Faith in the Savior is a principle of action and of power. Faith is evident in our priorities and in how we live." ❤

[@jdpackard3921]

I love how he explains the beliefs of The Church succinctly. As a member of The Church, his comments make we want to improve in my discipleship of Christ.

[@Joshuacowley]

Great address! So so happy that Elder Bednar touched on the fact that we are saved by God's grace, and that it is our faith in Him that motivate our actions. "I believe in Christ" is spoken best through the life you live.

[@jabulani22shepo61]

Josh he never said we are saved by grace but we need God's grace to be saved. They are two different things.

[@freedomfromcucks1267]

​@@jabulani22shepo61 ​ He didnt have to say we are saved by grace. That is already understood and accepted as the truth. By saying we need God's grace to be saved suggests/ implies that it is something that we havent obtained/earned. Though it has already been given to us as a gift by Christ himself. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

[@dallinpeterson7]

It's wonderful seeing an apostle of the Lord in Washington. There is a special spirit when the Lord's servants talk and testify about the Savior.

[@establishingzion688]

I watched President Hinckley's speech at this event and it was phenomenal. I miss him! Elder Bednar is a great follow up 22 years later. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints is a great example of "going about doing good."

[@FromAgonyToLight]

Casual and direct without being pompous or pious, yet always with respect. Gotta love the Church leaders!

[@tayloreriley]

Thank you Elder Bednar! Well said, a great report.

[@KalleenHa]

Thank you Elder Bednar. So eloquently and beautifully said. I sustain you as an apostle of the Lord.

[@aletty6869]

HEARTS CHANGED from inside out BY the redeeming grace of GOD 💖👑🙏🌟

[@debborabednar6970]

Amen! World Peace prevails!!! Thank you for what you do ...I'm a Bednar... I believe in this too. Thank you soooo much!! 🙏 🤲 🕍 🕌 ❤️

[@mattctr]

Beautiful speech. Bold witness of Truth. Bravo! Now, let's redeem Zion! 🥲

[@lang1031]

Our church gives alot because we love alot. We love alot because we follow Christ who also loves alot. I wish people would stop judging others and just find the common ground that brings us together. Everyone will eventually find out we are all each others bothers and sisters. And we should love our eternal families.

[@alicruz4900]

Some of the most judgemental people I know are members of the church

[@christophermusangi5111]

I pray one day to make my vows...in Honesty, Truth, Light and Love.

[@MatthewHavertzPurposePictures]

Thank you, Elder Bednar! When you said, “We do all things because we love Him,” I was finishing your sentence along with you. You expressed the feeling of my heart: why I willingly serve in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And, I’m sure you were expressing the sentiments of millions of members of His Church around the world. Thank you for representing Jesus Christ to the press, but thank you for representing us as well.

[@Rudyard_Stripling]

That was absolutely fantastic and thank you, Elder Bednar!

[@doriswilliams6151]

I put Elder Bednar's address to the press on the level of the apostle, Paul, addressing King Agrippa. The spirit of the Lord was speaking through Elder Bednar who answered every question without hesitation so perfectly and was unafraid to testify of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I listen to this again and again. I love it so much.

[@davidfrey5654]

Wonderful summary of the great work that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do locally and globally. Thank you Elder Bednar. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Matt 7:20

[@jasonallen1429]

Great talk, Elder Bednar! Thanks for sharing with the world all the good that the Church does as we strive to be disciples of Christ!

[@jennifersteed2000]

So wonderful!!! The Lord is amazing in guiding His kingdom on the earth.

[@ranjanty]

I hope those people in that meeting were touched by the Spirit and will investigate our Doctrine. Spoken only as a Apostle of the Lord, well said.

[@srso4660]

Me too. I hope they thoroughly read the history as well. The gospel topic essays is a good place to start.

[@michaelnwachukwu]

Whenever I listen Elder Bednar, I remember the testimony of Elder Boyd K Parker, about what transpired between him and Elder Bednar, when Elder Bednar, then a missionary was serving in the Communist territory. When Bednar gave him some money, when their train was leaving. And he, Boyd K Parker, asked him why as the train was running Bednar ran along and handed over the money to him. Telling him, Parker, that he would need the money. Reluctantly Parker collected the money. Which he used later to save his spouse from being dropped, by the Ticketer when her purchased ticket was misplaced. Very inspiring testimony indeed.

[@eattolivewithjanetreed5859]

Thank you Elder Bednar! Wow, first time since the year 2000 for the press club. I am astounded at all the church is doing world wide. Surprised that the humanitarian work in 2021 2,800 truck loads of food went out to the world, providing millions of meals to those in need. Contributions to higher education in 2021 alone, more than 1 billion dollars donations.

[@churchnewsroom]

Thank you for sharing your comment!

Such a great presentation. Thank you, Elder Bednar! And thanks to our Father in Heaven for the tender mercies he has bestowed through our Savior and through our prophets today. May we faithfully work towards bringing forth the completion of the Restoration of the Gospel and the coming forth of the Millennium!

[@mustanggun]

Thank you Elder Bednar

[@donnavaughn9409]

Great presentation, concluding at the end why we as LDS do those things.

[@Jk-ps2bn]

There was so much light around Elder Bednar. I noticed the contrast between him and the others in that room.

[@nathanshaw6303]

And The Kingdom of God continues to roll forth...

[@troy9834]

Where would a hungry homeless person in Salt Lake City go get a meal.

[@churchnewsroom]

Hi Troy, thanks for your question. Those in need of help, whether members of the Church or not, can meet with a Church leader in their area to discuss their needs. The leader would then help determine how much or long an individual would receive help. Provisions from the storehouse are free. See this link for more information: www.lds.org/topics/welfare?lang=eng

hello :)

[@scottpurves]

What is the Second Anointing? Is it available to all members?

[@nancyarchibald9095]

Big deal..Let's LEAVE Babylon...okay?

[@chischilisnez7811]

Great idea. Let's ALL leave Babylon and become more like God ("Be ye therefore perfect, even as your father in heaven is perfect.")

[@goldenunited8380]

This is a cult

[@churchnewsroom]

Hi, thanks for the opportunity to clarify our beliefs. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Christian, and we believe the greatest happiness in life comes from following the Savior, Jesus Christ. You and others interested can learn more about our beliefs here: www.comeuntochrist.org/beliefs?cid=42001274

[@ineedoff1]

I don't agree. All my life I've seen no evidence of your "Cult" claim. Pay attention

[@chischilisnez7811]

do you actually have any idea what constitutes a "cult?" Probably not. If you're interested, I can give you an authoritative definition of a "cult."

[@scottsirk9364]

Is it not true that Joseph Smith revelations are not supported by the evidence

[@bobhappy991]

you obviously have not read the book of Mormon or the doctrine and covenants

[@00Fisher00]

What kind of evidence are you looking for to support revelation from God?
