This is the official Loftus Family site for the April 2010 General Conference Breakfast of Champions. For those who are new: We have accepted the challenge to read every talk in the April, 2010 Ensign. In addition, we will select at least one quote from each talk and record it and a short reflection of why that quote is important to us. The Breakfast of Champions will be held in October, 2010 at IHOPs in Provo and Hillsboro.
1. Increase in faith and personal righteousness
ReplyDelete- Pray "as (we) read and study the scriptures, (our) knowledge and testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel would grow."
-"making and keeping sacred temple covenants (will) keep us on course to eternal life."
2. Strengthen Families and Homes
-it is our "responsibility and blessing"
-we strengthen our family through "scriptures, family home evening, and family prayer."
-cute FHE idea: iron rod story, mom iron rod & dad trying to pull the kids away.
3. Serve the Lord and His children (help poor & needy)
-President Kimball said, "God does notice us, and He watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other."
As we increase our faith and personal righteousness, we will have the spirit with us. We need to gain knowledge and a strong testimony ourselves so we can teach our children. When we are open to the promptings of the Spirit, Heavenly FAther can use us to bless other's lives.
