February 11th Weekly Connection

It's a Wrap.... What will you do with it now?

The Plan and the Proclamation by Dallin H. Oaks - discussion led by Monica Buchanan

We began the lesson by reading The Family: A Proclamation to the World.  If you haven't had a chance to read this recently, please take a few minutes to do so.  

We live in a time when the world is telling us things that go against the doctrine of the church. The world tells us we need to catch up with the times and that the things we believe are outdated but we must stand firm!  In Jesus' final teachings in mortality, He told His Apostles, "If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world,...the world hateth you."

"Those who do not believe in or aspire to exaltation and are most persuaded by the ways of the world consider the family proclamation as just a statement of policy that should be changed.  In contrast, Latter-day Saints affirm that the family proclamation defines the kind of family relationships where the most important part of our eternal development can occur."

Our children are being pulled in the ways of the world.  We must take time and teach them the doctrine on the family by reading and talking about what is written in the The Family Proclamation.  Let your children and grandchildren know your stance on this and have open discussions.
