180th General Conference Part II

That's likely the shortest two hours I've ever experienced!  It's amazing how quickly time flies when you're learning good things.  Here are more thoughts from conference, this time during the Saturday afternoon session:

• Throughout history, many have given their lives so that we can have the Word of God through scripture.
• Those who don't regularly read the scriptures are doomed to a) dwindle in unbelief and b) repeat the errors of generations gone by.
• Today the scriptures are easily available in many languages - but there is a great scriptural illiteracy because people don't read them.  We have forgotten what our grandparents knew.
• Where scriptural truths are ignored, the moral structure of society crumbles.
• Faith comes by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who will testify of the truth of what we read in the scriptures.
• We are surrounded by those in need of help and comfort, be they family, friends or strangers.
• Our partial or selective obedience to the Lord's commandments will cause us to fail.
• The Book of Mormon speaks to the spirit and the heart of the reader like no other book.
• We are experiencing a great moral decay and families are falling victim to it.
• True love is shouted from the rooftops - lust is clandestine and shame-filled.
• If a TV programme is vulgar - turn it off!
• If a movie is crude - walk out!
• If a relationship is developing in an inappropriate way - sever it!
• Follow Nephi's resolve to "... give place no more for the enemy of my soul." (see 2 Nephi 4:28)
