Brigham Young said, “It was revealed to me in the commencement of this Church, that the Church would spread, prosper, grow and extend, and that in proportion to the spread of the Gospel among the nations of the earth, so would the power of Satan rise.” 2Īs we move into a new era, we have only one safe course: to press forward in faith. However, great will be the challenges and endless the problems, because with this wave of knowledge, life actually becomes more complicated. Experience is what you get if you don’t.” 1 Now and in the future, vast amounts of information are becoming more accessible worldwide through electronic devices in the home, the workplace, or the local library. One person defined it this way: “Education is when you read the fine print. Opportunities for education and learning have increased and will continue to increase dramatically. I believe the future will be great and marvelous in many respects. Although the timbers have since been reinforced with steel, the creative handiwork of the faithful pioneer Saints still stands as a symbol of their great faith. I have been in the ceiling area of the Tabernacle, where the original rawhide bindings are still wrapped around the timbers of the roof structure. As President Hinckley has said, “We have outgrown it.” We pause to pay tribute to the faith, vision, and inspiration of Brigham Young and his associates who in faith built the Tabernacle, the construction of which is truly remarkable. With a tear of sadness, we leave our beloved Tabernacle, the traditional site for general conference.
His was the faith and courage to move forward with this great project. I join with all of you in expressing admiration, respect, and appreciation for the vision of our great prophet, President Gordon B. This is the first general conference of this century and millennium, and the first one to be held in this great new Conference Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
My beloved brothers and sisters, today is historic.
