Family.

"Anti-Christ is anti-family. Any doctrine or principle our youth hear from the world that is anti-family is also anti-Christ. It's that simple." -Julie Beck

I love these words because of how powerful and piercing they are. Families today are disintegrating at an ever-increasing rate. Destruction comes so easily and so quickly, and it is time to put an end to it.

At the center of it all, there are two things. Jesus Christ (and His gospel), and family. We enter this mortal world into these family units that are designed to help us succeed. The problem, though, is that the success rate of families is on the decline.

When we understand that the family is central to the Plan of Salvation, we can see clearly why the sanctity of families is being tried today. Satan doesn't want us to succeed. And he's willing to do anything to hinder our journey back to Heavenly Father.

If we keep our eyes open to these destructive, worldly things, we can build our families to be strong and we can be successful. Focus on the Spirit. Ready yourselves to defend your spouses and children. Cling to the eternal truths.

I am so grateful for my little eternal family, and I know that if we continue to follow Jesus Christ, we will be blessed.


"Families can be together forever, through Heavenly Father's plan. I always want to be with my own family, and the Lord has shown me how I can. The Lord has shown me how I can."
