Randall L. Ridd

Second Counselor in the General Presidency of the Young Men (October 5, 2013 – April 4, 2015)

General Conference Addresses

• April 2014 General Conference
  • The Choice Generation
    • “But this evening I would like to address you as the “choice generation” because never before in history have individuals been blessed with so many choices. More choices mean more opportunities; more opportunities mean more potential to do good and, unfortunately, evil. I believe that God sent you here at this time because He trusts you to successfully discern among the mind-boggling choices available.”
    • “Satan wants to control your agency so he can control what you become. He knows that one of the best ways to do this is by trapping you with addictive behavior. Your choices determine whether technology will empower you or enslave you.”
    • “Every time you plug in your phone, use it as a reminder to ask yourself if you have plugged in to the most important source of spiritual power—prayer and scripture study, which will charge you with inspiration through the Holy Ghost.”
    • “Don’t do dumb things with your smartphone.”
