We are so blessed to have such an inspired revelation from our Prophet and First Presidency of the church. The Family: A Proclamation to the World tells us exactly how we can be happy and have true joy in family life.
President Spencer W. Kimball taught, "The time will come when only those who believe deeply and actively in the family will be able to preserve their families in the midst of the gathering evil around us."
D&C 1:4 And the voice of warning shall be unto all people, by the mouths of my disciples, whom I have chosen in these last days.
D&C 38:41 And let your preaching be the warning voice, every man to his neighbor, in mildness and in meekness.
The Proclamation states, "WE WARN that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.
WE CALL UPON responsible citizens
and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to
maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society."
We must defend and LIVE the
principles taught in The Family- A Proclamation to the World. These are truly
inspired words straight from God to our living modern day prophet. We are so
blessed to be able to receive modern day revelation.
The last days are approaching and
it is evident. Satan's grasp is growing stronger and stronger each day it
seems. He is manipulating and twisting truths in people's minds. The popular
thing to do is definitely not usually the right thing to do. The family unit
seems to be the most targeted and attacked thing in this world. Satan will do
all he can to destroy and break a family apart. We have the perfect guidelines
in the proclamation and we are clearly warned that we will be accountable to
GOD for our actions.
"The object with me is to
obey and teach others to obey God in just what He tells us to do. It mattereth
not whether the principle is popular or unpopular, I will always maintain a
true principle, even if I stand alone in it." -Joseph Smith
