Embracing President Hinckley's Benediction: A Call to Action in a Changing World
Today’s inspiration is drawn from the heartfelt benediction delivered by President Gordon B. Hinckley, President of the Church, during the October 1998 General Conference. In his closing remarks, President Hinckley reflects on the momentous times in which we live and shares poignant insights on faith, service, and the future of the Church.
Momentous Times: A Call to Reflection
President Hinckley begins by acknowledging the significance of the era we live in as Saints of the Most High. In a rapidly changing world, marked by uncertainty and challenges, he urges us to reflect on the teachings and messages shared during conference sessions.
Reformation and Response to the Spirit
With humility and sincerity, President Hinckley encourages us to make necessary adjustments in our lives in response to the promptings of the Spirit. He emphasizes the importance of self-discipline and obedience to the principles of the gospel, inviting us to stand tall and fulfill our duties with diligence and devotion.
Temple Building: A Testament to Faith
President Hinckley shares exciting news about the construction of smaller temples around the world, highlighting the Church’s commitment to bringing temple blessings closer to the Saints. He expresses gratitude for the Saints’ enthusiastic response to these sacred edifices and shares his vision for the future expansion of temple work.
Faith in Action: Building a Better World
In the face of uncertainty and doubt, President Hinckley reaffirms his unwavering testimony of the divinity of the Church and its mission. He encourages us to continue rearing our children in righteousness, being good neighbors, and reaching out in love to all, regardless of faith or background.
Tribute to Choir and Call to Excellence
Before concluding his remarks, President Hinckley pays tribute to the magnificent choir and encourages them to continue striving for excellence in their musical ministry. His words serve as a reminder that our best efforts today should always be surpassed by greater dedication and improvement tomorrow.

As we ponder President Hinckley’s benediction and the messages shared throughout conference, let us consider how we can actively contribute to making the world a better place. Here are a few actionable steps we can take:
