Thanks to our Relief Society blog, I got some spiritual instruction today! The TFOT today was Elder Robert D. Hales' conference talk, Christian Courage: The Price of Discipleship. From the blog:
A few key concepts were discussed.
1. True disciples of Christ see opportunity in the midst of opposition.
2. True disciples seek guidance from the Spirit, they receive inspiration tailored to each encounter.
3. True disciples respond in ways that invite the Spirit of the Lord.
4. As true disciples, our primary concern must be others' welfare, not personal vindication.
5. True disciples avoid being unduly judgmental of others' views.
6. Sometimes true disciples must show Christian courage by saying nothing at all.
To all who seek to know how we should respond to our accusers, he replied, we love them. Whatever their race, creed, religion, or political persuasion, if we follow Christ and show forth His courage, we must love them. . . . we desire with our love to show them a better way - the way of Jesus Christ.
I'm glad the blog is still up and running. Love not feeling isolated in the land of babysitting, er, teaching tiny children!
