Only, only , Love.... 💖

[@DoctorSuezz]

I am so personally grateful to this channel for how quickly they put the individual talks out. This is going to be a great "hit" with my children and family.

[@churchofjesuschristgeneralconf]

Thank you for your comment and for tuning in with your family, Susan. We hope you are all spiritually strengthened together and inspired by the messages shared.

[@peachysparkles]

Yes it's always so fast, I'm really grateful too!

[@Ekam-Sat]

I was raised Catholic and I am not a member of the LDS but I do often listen to the talks and I appreciate how much you value family, love and unity. I have come to realize that the purpose of Jesus (Life) is Love. Everybody can believe what they want. But that's what I have come to realize.

" I'll Always Love Almighty God Above "

[@elwinlee6975]

The stronger and positive passages delivered from them to the people inspired me a lot. I am so grateful to get baptized and pass the sacrament to the brothers, sisters, Elders and presidents at the church.

The world becomes a different place as we take time to help our neighbor in whatever way they may be in need. Money is one thing but having love for each other is the greater way.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID, IF YOU DO THIS UNTO THE LEST OF MY BRETHREN "YOU HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME"

[@bjornhalstrom9933]

An uplifting reassuring talk.

[@davelarsen9847]

[@katherinem.4414]

“Cooperating with others in that effort”….it only makes sense.

[@diannestirling1089]

It’s great what you do New Zealand also needs your help as they have just gone through a cyclone over 10,000 people are homeless their homes are completely destroyed and food has been destroyed a lot of their home storage has been destroyed because of losing their homes

[@chucksimon8980]

I'm a lonely poor and distressed man, who gets no service from anyone.. I was disowned by my own family the day after I was baptized, and attacked with bitter mockery for over 43 years by them.. now my life is almost over. Im just a poor wayfaring stranger to all, in & out of the Church.

[@PapaKryptoss]

Have you tried serving others. Get up and go out and share the gospel

[@marlasperry6318]

Just by being born, you are ahead of 1/3 of the children of God. Good job securing a glory in that! Surviving huge challenges also bring great rewards, good job on that! Forgiving others is difficult, good job in seeing that that is important! Asking for help is productive, good job on that! Commenting below a talk on giving service to others to alert me is good also, good job on that! May the rest of your life be filled with wonder at the good you choose to do from here on out. Thank goodness your glory does not depend on any other humans, it depends on how you deal with your life here. Neither do other people affect your love and friendship with yourself. Neither do they affect the love Heavenly Father has for you. Neither do they affect the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Neither do they affect the comfort from the Holy Ghost. I hope you find the light you so desperately need right now.

[@cherylduarte4399]

Suffering is part of a Saints life, good luck!

[@chucksimon8980]

I'm too broken and destitute to serve others..Maybe you can help me first, to get out of this hellish imprisonment sentenced by my x family/attackers.. I don't counseling from you or anyone.. I need help first in order to serve as you suggest. Thats how devestated I am..it's worse than anyone could ever know or imagine..43 years of total banishment... Bye

[@jeremyweadon4231]

Chuck - thank you for making the choice to follow the Savior's invitation to follow Him. Isiah taught us the Savior has our back.

Elder Oaks, The Paul of our day.

[@belogical3961]

Whether you are a member or not, Heavenly Father, is trying to make contact. His love is judgment and he does guide us, helping us to learn those judgments so we may be able to abide in His & truly as God knows it, Our true eternal nature. So He sent his only begotten son, because of Mercy, because of Love and because He wanted me to have a Rock that's overcome my life and so, a constant source that can never be used enough as a loving guide. And when we know God has delivered us and we tell other people that he has! That's when we are truly free! That's what one of the gentleman in general conference in this session said last night and I know he's right. And to be real, God delivers me sometimes even daily and you want to know what? God does deliver me multiple times daily if required he will be there as much as he needs to be, he's perfect, I love him, however, I don't love him as much, I say that because I wholeheartedly don't understand why God has a particular judgement, when it comes time for tough choices and hard decisions and it really makes me grow when I choose the right and I learn why God has that judgement in His mind. He wants us to get the correct judgments and to always make the right choices and he's always helping us and he'll always help us try. God wants to purify our hearts like a refiner's fire and as painful as it is, it is worth it.

[@churchofjesuschristgeneralconf]

Thank you for sharing your comment, @Be Logical. We hope the rest of General Conference is equally enlightening and inspiring for you!

[@belogical3961]

@@churchofjesuschristgeneralconf It is how it always has been, worth pondering how to apply the prophetic words spoken at each session.

“A slothful, and not a wise servant”….instead do good of our own free will.

[@timmiestabrnak]

Can I ask why the majority of members vote against helping those in need& instead vote for the love of money&illness, disinformation , hatred&violence? What happened to the example and commands of Jesus?

[@AdamHMortimer]

Good you are transparent for the first year ever that’s a good start. It would also be helpful to see all the records. Full transparency is critical for the church to grow. Just a thought.

[@josephscott6286]

"Reorganized church"?

[@churchofjesuschristgeneralconf]

Hi @Joseph Scott, thanks for your question. We believe The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Jesus Christ's restored Church on the earth with a living prophet and priesthood authority from God. Sometimes we use the word reorganized to state that Christ organized his Church again in the same way He did when He was on the Earth. To learn more, visit www.comeuntochrist.org/belong/church-community/finding-the-right-christian-church?cid=42001274

[@camillematthews6613]

Other words not the reorganized church Joseph, that's a different church. This is a restored church.
