“Finding Lasting Peace and Building Eternal Families,” L. Tom Perry, General Conference Oct. 2014
Applying the formula of faith to this talk:
- Hearing the word of God, finding points of action
- Taking action to experiment upon the words heard
- Sharing what I’ve learned as a result of that action
Men and women are shaped partly by those among whom they choose to live. Those to whom they look up and try to emulate also shape them. Jesus is the great Exemplar. The only way to find lasting peace is to look to Him and live.
