be not "over nourished in the entertainment junk food and undernourished on the bread of life." what a powerful reminder

[@macekreislahomes1690]

I have a friend that's living this mistake. He's slowly getting the point.

[@jawjww]

What wonderful counsel. So many people can talk endlessly about season five of some worthless show on Netflix or sports. But how many can speak with the same enthusiasm about the scriptures or the gospel??

[@bryanpratt5850]

I know that Jesus is true. HE IS THE TRUTH, HE IS THE LIFE, HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY JESUS. JOHN 14:6

[@yellowyosh470]

Amen! 🙌

[@por_los_pelos]

Use Time to secure your relationship with God and your family follow Jesus example . Amazing consul on this one, don't miss it.

[@mattctr]

I attended that conference session and received a revelation during this talk-not the revelation I wanted to hear at the time, but it was important. Grateful for apostles and prophets.

[@alishahumphries5406]

Needed this today and I have Needed this as a reminder a lot lately. It’s easy to get wrapped up on wrong priorities ...

[@yellowyosh470]

Agreed!

[@barney547]

❤️

[@lauriegenie]

This is so, so excellent. Wise, indeed. Just what I needed this Sabbath day, when I sat down to watch entertainment TV on my laptop, then made a last minute decision to watch a conference talk first. I want to add my testimony of the truth of this counsel.

[@ronbrewer3493]

I know that the church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints is true. I have never read anywhere in the holy bible where Christ himself did any writing except for in the sand so who wrote the bible true prophets of God. Furthermore I have never heard of a perfect prophet God has always worked through prophets for their growth and for what it would make of them to. The essence of life is to grow become and to overcome..so the bible is the writing of dead prophets. Every since this spinning blue planet and all the world's of God were created any time we as real children of a real Father in heaven have wanted to grow and become more God the Father of our spirits has always called true living prophets. The living word of God is not the bible. It is the mouth of true living prophets and apostles. I know that the earth was divided geniuse 10 25 . I know that God had some of His spirit children here on this side of the world. I know that Jesus is the Lord the Savior of the whole world. I know that Mormon was a real man and a prophet of God .I also knew that Alma Lephi Nephi Abenidi and many others were also true prophets of God. .I know that we are more than a physical body .I know that we lived with our Heavenly parents as spirit children before getting a physical body . I know that Gods true church is on the earth The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints. For Truly the living word of God is the mouth of a true living prophet .

[@yellowyosh470]

Amen! 🙌 Beautifully said. I also know these things to be true. Thank you for sharing your light! You testimony uplifted me today.

[@dellyvlogs1284]

Thank you for sharing your testimony. Have a nice day

[@jovymacaranas2295]

Thank you so much Pres. Oaks, what a wonderful and very inspiring message to all of us. We love all the leaders, Prophets and Apostles of God, I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only living and true church here on earth. SALAMAT!!!

[@shareef912]

Salam Jovy, I like your comment and testimony ,I noticed that you ended up with the Arabic word SALAMAT... Which is one of my greetings .. I would like to invite you to contact me , as we have Arabic group members of the church of Jesus Christ of Later Days saint, Shukran, SALAMAT

[@oumafred4086]

Indeed the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints teaches the true doctrine of Christ

[@shorelockhomes943]

Thanks. This is one of my favorite talks.

[@macekreislahomes1690]

Same here brother. I have a friend that really needs this. Probably more than eather of us. lol

[@mikemailei4491]

I lost focus this week on my priorities. Glad to view this talk today. Only person to blame is myself. Thanks to the Atonement of Christ. I can start over this week. Refocus my new motto this week.

[@melindaukulelejourney5503]

i agreed.

[@maddyboombaddybaddy6532]

So do you guys just lose your salvation and retrieve it over and over in this church?

[@toottootimmadolphin4936]

This will be our FHE this week!!!! Love this & needed for a beautiful reminder in today's world!!! We are SO blessed by a click these amazing men of God are at our finger tips!!!!

[@talkthaitoday1191]

Thank you Brother Oaks.

[@chanegg6545]

accountability of knowledge is powerful

[@tylar5375]

This really hit on a personal level for me. Especially when it comes to content. My inability to stay focused on one thing feeds my skepticism. I was reading the scriptures today and like so many other times I find my self going down a rabbit hole to understand it all in a deeper level. Eventually i find myself questioning everything feeling unsure of the direction I need to take my life. By chance ( or not) I opened my KZbin app and on the top of my suggestions was this talk. This a wise man and these words will help anyone else that struggles with this too.

[@Hallowed_Ground]

How are you doing these days? Do you follow Christ?

[@barney547]

This is exactly how I think. You put that exactly the way I would have. I hope you are well these days.

[@theephraimite]

Great. Sunday eve - June 6, 2021.

[@roa4969]

We must focus on the important things first and set the unimportant aside.

[@tenor90210]

EXTRAORDINARY Knowledge, very inspiring, very true, very precise, very real, MY BEST WAY TO RETAIN ALL THIS INFORMATION, IS TRANSLATING WORD BY WORD AT THE HIGHEST SPEED POSSIBLE AND REPEATING IT AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, IF YOU DON'T SPEAK ANOTHER LANGUAGE, JUST LISTEN AND REPEAT

[@ronaldosantiago5524]

[@heartbeaestrella7490]

When I feel like tired, need of comfort and don't know what or where to start l always watch general conferences. And it really did helped me in o many ways. Thank you!!!

[@patriciaarratia3385]

What a wonderful message

[@mikebennett4757]

Of all the self-help information I found on KZbin, much of which was excellent, nothing provided me a better eternal perspective about time management than what Elder Oaks shared. Thank you, Elder Oaks.

[@merrileemcdonald448]

I particularly loved the part of Thomas Jefferson's education. My eldest child will be going to a high school that teaches in much the same way as the founders were educated. Love this talk so much ❤️

[@harveypriest3011]

How could anyone give a hands down to this wonderful information

[@jeppajeppson2900]

The fact is that we are not always looking to change our minds to the lord’s ways

[@innerintelmarylroberts7432]

[@joscelynpease6656]

I pray I can internalize all of this deeper into my mind and heart and better apply it in my life.

[@-Love-Emma]

I end up losing myself in others I have a track record for being co dependent :/ but if I can get my priorities straight I think I can find joy and happiness no matter where I go

[@richardmira7319]
