"The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth."
This made me think of what just happened in the October 2018 General Conference. Where a home-centered, church supported plan was announced. The parents have the primary responsibility of teaching doctrine to their children. This was always the plan of the Father, we have not fully immersed ourselves in our responsibilities. I am excited for this opportunity. I love studying and pondering the scriptures with my family. It is the highlight of our day. I am grateful that we will have even more time together to make the Sabbath a delight as we learn of Jesus Christ and the beauty of His gospel together.
President Nelson said this in his opening address at general conference.
"For many years, Church leaders have been working on an integrated curriculum to strengthen families and individuals through a home-centered and Church-supported plan to learn doctrine, strengthen faith, and foster greater personal worship. Our efforts over these recent years to hallow the Sabbath—to make it a delight and a personal sign to God of our love for Him—will be augmented by the adjustments we will now introduce.
This morning we will announce a new balance and connection between gospel instruction in the home and in the Church. We are each responsible for our individual spiritual growth. And scriptures make it clear that parents have the primary responsibility to teach the doctrine to their children. It is the responsibility of the Church to assist each member in the divinely defined goal of increasing his or her gospel knowledge."
Day 1292
