GEMS-Family: Teaching in Our Home Should Center on Jesus Christ

Teaching in Our Home Should Center on Jesus Christ

“We can see that not all activities we could engage in are equally important even though they may appropriately be a part of a spiritually balanced family unity development program. Some concerns have higher priorities. We remember the words of Nephi as he counseled: ‘And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ . . . that our children may know to what source they look’ (2 Ne. 25:26). What inner strength would be in every person if he knew that the Master and His teachings were indeed his great source of guidance, his great source of correct example, his great source of help! That is our prime goal in all our teaching in the home.”
