Good Better Best
‘‘We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families.’’
( President Dallin H. Oaks, http://lds.org/general-conference/2007/10/good-better-best?)
Worthy of All Acceptation
“We want to emphasize again and place squarely upon the shoulders of … individuals and their families the obligation to complete the four-generation program. Families may extend their pedigree beyond the four generations if desired.
Ezra Taft Benson, http://lds.org/general-conference/1978/10/worthy-of-all-acceptation?lang=eng&query=family
Strengthening Families: Our Sacred Duty
‘‘The key to strengthening our families is having the Spirit of the Lord come into our homes. The goal of our families is to be on the strait and narrow path.’’
‘‘With the help of the Lord and His doctrine, all the hurtful effects from challenges a family may meet can be understood and overcome. Whatever the needs of family members may be, we can strengthen our families as we follow the counsel given by prophets.’’
Robert D. Hales, http://lds.org/general-conference/1999/04/strengthening-families-our-sacred-duty?lang=eng&query=families
What Matter Most is What Last Longest
‘’As your leaders, we call upon members of the Church everywhere to put family first and to identify specific ways to strengthen their individual families.’’
Parents of Zion
‘’I do want to encourage leaders to carefully consider the home lest they issue calls or schedule activities which place an unnecessary burden on parents and families.’’
The Phenomenon That is You
‘‘Searching for our kindred dead isn’t just a hobby. It is a fundamental responsibility for all members of the Church. We believe that life continues after death and that all will be resurrected. We believe that families may continue in the next life if they have kept the special covenants made in one of the sacred temples under the authority of God. We believe that our deceased ancestors can also be eternally united with their families when we make covenants in their behalf in the temples. Our deceased forebears may accept these covenants, if they choose to do so, in the spirit world.’’
James E. Faust, http://lds.org/general-conference/2003/10/the-phenomenon-that-is-you?lang=eng&query=families
