Joy Cometh in the Morning - Oct 1986

Joy Cometh in the Morning

by Russell M. Nelson

October 1986 General Conference

This talk title comes from Psalms 30:5 and discusses ways in which we can find true joy.

In order to experience true joy in the morning, or at any time, at least three factors are needed. You need to feel good about the people with whom you live and work—your companions in life. You must feel good about yourself—not in any sense of conceit, but simply a proper esteem for yourself, well deserved. And possibly most important, you must feel good about your relation to God and sincerely love him.

Every person so baptized who receives the gift of the Holy Ghost, which seals the ordinance, is under solemn covenant with the Lord to obey his commandments. Caring for the poor is one of those commandments.

Reverence for Life - April 1985 General Conference

 

In this talk, President Nelson gives a very clear explanation of the Church's view on abortion.  He goes through the various arguments people make in favor of abortion, and gives a rebuttal to each of them.

Yes, life is precious! No one can cuddle a cherished newborn baby, look into those beautiful eyes, feel the little fingers, and caress that miraculous creation without deepening reverence for life and for our Creator.

This talk was given over 30 years go, and still feels very relevant to the deabte today.
