Stake Conference
Elder Oaks
May 3, 2009
•Great things are in store.
•If we step aside from where "the sticks" or priesthood, that mark the path, then we are lost.
•Having children happens in the lords time. We don't understand the lords time table, but we put things in the lords hands and we are blessed with our desire.
•We are judged for our works and for the desires of our hearts. Do the best you can.
•Personal revalation: When will the lord communicate with us? Shut up and listen. The lord won't wake up someone to reveal to them (drowsy and tired in church).
•Wake up early, pray then study scriptures. Makes his time more effective and so he doesn't forget things. •"Biblical trash", numbers, song of Solomon.
•NO TEXTING during church, he condemns it! Its disrespectful and distracting.
•Lord reveals on his own time, way, and will.
•Satan doesn't have much time. Greatest temptation will be with things that are the greatest to the plan of our Heavenly Father. Things that take away agency-alcohol, (interferes with the power of the mind) tobacco, drugs. pornography, things that drive away the spirit. Anything that destroys the family: De-emphasis of marriage.
•Jesus taught he is the son of God
•The church has no choice but to defend marriage as between man and woman. It has been that way for millenia. We will teach the wrongness of same sex attraction.
•Hold fast to the things that keep us qualified to feel the spirit, attend all church meetings.
