Perhaps my favorite message of the confernce so far has been Elder Hales talk of provident living. Recently I've been reading some of the Pauline epistles and in one Paul explains to members of the church that not only are the commanded not to steal, but the gospel requires them to live a higher law.
The law of Moses forbade stealing, but Paul encouraged the members to work and use their extra to feed the poor. Elder Hales talk seemed an eco of that Pauline admonition. Another talk which seemed to echo that sentiment was also President Eyrings talk when he pointed out that the Lord commands even those, like myself, who would not be considered "wealthy" (which I believe Websters Dictionary 2009 defines as "Any individual making over 250,000 dollars or an individual who recieved a bonus from a company who was bailed out with taxpayer funds.") but that all are encouraged to live modestly and to give graciously. Both men connected giving to finding true meaning and happiness in life.
