October 2015 General Conference -Priesthood Session

Neil L. Andersen -Faith Is Not by Chance, but by Choice
  • Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is not something ethereal, floating loosely in the air. Faith does not fall upon us by chance or stay with us by birthright. 
  • Faith emits a spiritual light, and that light is discernible.
  • Your faith is either growing stronger or becoming weaker.
  • Your faith does not come by chance, but by choice.
  • How we live our lives increases or diminishes our faith. 
  • Faith never demands an answer to every question but seeks the assurance and courage to move forward, sometimes acknowledging, "I don't know everything, but I do know enough to continue on the path of discipleship." 
  • Although your beginning fire of faith may be small, righteous choices bring greater confidence in God, and your faith grows. 
Randall K. Bennett -Your Next Step
  • Loving parents are always ready with outstretched arms to welcome even our smallest step in the right direction. 
  • Strength is given to those who keep seeking and trying.
  • We fail only if we fail to take another faithful step forward.
  • You were created "that [you] might have joy." 
Dieter F. Uchtdorf -Be Not Afraid, Only Believe
  • With these great blessings and privileges come great responsibilities and obligations. Let us rise up to them.
  • It falls to us to live as believers in a world of disbelief.
  • We believe in God because of things we know with our heart and mind, not because of things we do not know.
  • There is no magic to belief. But wanting to believe is the necessary first step!
  • If we make no effort to believe, we are like the man who unplugs a spotlight and then blames the spotlight for not giving any light.
  • Let me be clear: there is nothing noble or impressive about being cynical. Skepticism is easy--anyone can do it. It is the faithful life that requires moral strength, dedication, and courage. Those who hold fast to faith are far more impressive than those who give in to doubt when mysterious questions or concerns arise.
  • Have courage to believe. Be not afraid, only believe.
Henry B. Eyring -You Are Not Alone in the Work
  • Any calling we receive in the Lord's kingdom requires more than our human judgement and our personal powers.
Thomas S. Monson -Keep the Commandments
  • Keep the commandments.
  • God's commandments are not given to frustrate us or to become obstacles to our happiness. Just the opposite is true.
  • Please be strong, and be alert to anything that would rob you of the blessings of eternity. The choices you make here and now are forever important.
Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!

-Sarnic Dirchi
