General Conference Addresses

• April 2005 General Conference
• Be of Good Cheer and Faithful in Adversity
• “As part of our mortal probation, we pass through affliction, pain, and disappointment. Only in Jesus Christ can we find peace. He can help us to be of good cheer and to overcome all the challenges of this life.”
• “We must, however, not underestimate the difficulties that are prophesied for our day. What are some of these difficulties? How can we face them? Some of these difficulties are lack of hope, lack of love, and lack of peace.”
• “Each day we must take up our cross and press forward—and not just linger on the sidelines of our eternal journey.”
• October 1999 General Conference
• Serving the Lord
• “Putting away worldly gods means keeping impure thoughts out of our minds, shedding all hateful feelings from our hearts, and ridding our lives of everything which may prevent the Holy Ghost from being always with us.”
• “When we love God, serve the Lord sincerely, and give up the things of this world, we become true followers of Christ.”
• “Neither prosperity nor poverty indicate whether a person is living a Christian life.”
