Lessons from Lamanite Conversion: Burying Our Weapons of Rebellion

In this conference address given by Elder D. Todd Christofferson, we explore the transformative journey of the Lamanites' conversion to the doctrine of Christ, as recorded in the Book of Mormon. Through the efforts of King Mosiah's sons and the Holy Spirit's intervention, thousands were converted and laid down their weapons of rebellion, both literally and figuratively. The script discusses the nature of rebellion, using examples of both active resistance, like the Antichrists, and the subtler passive rebellion. It highlights the importance of following divine examples, such as Christ's baptism, and the impact of loyalty to God over self-directed paths. Personalizations, such as the story of William W. Phelps, demonstrate repentance and returning to faith, while cautioning against prioritizing careers or physical appearance over spiritual commitments. Ultimately, the episode encourages viewers to reflect on their own lives, to bury their weapons of rebellion, and to foster loyalty and love for God.
