Actually most conference talks are really good
One really good one is "Following Christ to Victory"
By Elder Harman Rector Jr. from May 1979
In fact it is one of Steve's very favorite.
I had never read this talk until today.
Wow, what a fantastic talk, you should look it up.
My favorite is toward the end of the talk:
"Then, in my estimation, the Master’s great success formula for bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of man is—
First, believe you can do it. The Master said, For this cause came I into the world: “to give his life [as] a ransom for many” (Matt. 20:28).
Second, look to the Lord for your blessings. Again, the Master said, “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was” (John 17:5).
Third, make the sacrifice. The Lord’s words: “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).
Fourth, expect a miracle. The Lord said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live” (John 5:25).
And fifth, receive the miracle with great humility. “Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do” (John 5:19). And “Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me” (John 7:16)."
Believe you can do it
Look to the Lord for blessings
Make the Sacrifice
Expect a Miracle
Humbly receive the Miracle
I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for my testimony. Life is not easy my friends. It has really hard things in it. Even when you do what you are supposed to do, it is not easy. Agency is real. The power of the Lord is real. The Gospel is True!
