Great goals for BYU!
I feel the spirit and power of orators of old in this talk
If we feast on the words of Jesus Christ, we can be riveted to him, and will want to better bless mankind to be closer to God.
Wow...when I first heard him speak i thought it was Bruce R McConkie!!!! He sounds so like him!
What a great talk! I’m not a BYU faculty member, but I appreciate the broader application of remaining solidly upon the foundation of Jesus Christ and His gospel, when there is so much enticement to follow worldly trends.
Justin’s remarks reminded me of the remarkable faculty members at BYU, with whom I associated as a student. These professors shared encouraging words, and others invited me into their homes for family dinners or holiday parties. I learned from their testimonies and examples of faithfulness.
Incidentally, my husband and I were in the same married student ward with Justin and and his wife in 2004. Though I didn’t know Justin well, I was impressed with his exceptional eloquence.
His current position is well-deserved, and I’m so proud of him!
His voice with its' cadence, reminds me of Bruce R. McConkie!
Me too!!! He sounds so like him!
Wow, what a powerful talk. I sure hope all the members of the BYU faculty take these words to heart. We cannot afford to lose any more young adults to the crazy and wild ideologies of the world. Thank you for bringing back the values that BYU is meant to stand for. May your vision come to fruitiction. I sure hope my daughter, who is a Senior in high school, reconsiders applying to BYU.
Thank you for realizing the wonder of so many there at the Y. That the faculty clearly know who you are and for whom you stand. The wonder has just become reality for most I am certain of it.
Well said.
Muito obrigado, Enquanto estudo estou agora com dois papagaios barulhando na árvore do quintal, são verdes e lindos. Depois de acordar pela manhã bem cedo quase sempre no mesmo horário, eu ligo o audio das escrituras e ouço até pegar no sono novamente, mas é incrível o que o Espírito fala através das escrituras pela manhã. Talvez eu seja boa mesmo de manhã porque posso sentir os dons à minha como se a minha volta. Eu estava pedindo dois dons para Deus enquanto me preparava para estudar Inglês e Matemática acreditando que realmente conseguir praticando muito, faço anotações. Estava a observar as pessoas nesses nossos dias a discutindo de tudo no mundo todo e se há vida fora da Terra. Comecei a olhar para elas, pensando como me olho no espelho ou como o Salvador olhava os mansos de coração. Como Moises e Joseph Smith fizeram perguntas a Deus eu pergunto como se imaginam no futuro? Com mais ou menos luz ? Como seriam chatos, reclamões, obedientes feios bonitos desobedientes as leis de Deus? Eu aprendi que a oposição é muito legal, embora não gostasse dela por não compreender por algum tempo, porque me desafia a pensar nas respostas de Deus.
