The Family: A Proclamation to the World

DC 49:15-17

15 And again, verily I say unto you, that whoso forbiddeth to marry is not ordained of God, for marriage is ordained of God unto man.

16 Wherefore, it is lawful that he should have one wife, and they twain shall be one flesh, and all this that the earth might answer the end of its creation;

17 And that it might be filled with the measure of man, according to his creation before the world was made.

Inside Church Headquarters: The Power of Councils

 

October 2021


The Savior governs His Church through councils. This divine pattern is critical to the organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at every level. This Church News documentary, titled “Inside Church Headquarters,” examines the essential role of councils in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, beginning with the Council of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and extending to stake, ward and family councils. It highlights the need for women’s voices in councils. Members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and general women leaders also speak about the purpose and functions of three of the Church’s executive councils:

(1) Missionary Executive Council

(2) Temple and Family History Executive Council

(3) Priesthood and Family Executive Council

 “In the abundance of counsel, there is wisdom,” said Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency. “When the Prophet Joseph Smith was called, he taught the world, and he taught all of us for the first time, the first principle about the plan of salvation is that our Heavenly Father introduced it in a great council in heaven. So, as Latter-day Saints, we begin with councils.” The council system, said President M. Russell Ballard, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “is the way you move things safely and solidly from where it is to where it needs to be.”

Testimony, Witness:

Brother and Sister Haymore bear their testimony and witness that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, that He lived, died, and was resurrected for all. We know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the Lord's true church, that the Book of Mormon is true, that Joseph Smith was a true prophet, that President Russell M. Nelson is a true prophet today. We testify that God and Jesus live and love, that "all things are possible to him that believeth".  Jesus suffered, bled, and died so that we might live, even the abundant life here in mortality and eternal life in the eternities to come. It is essential that we KNOW Him and obey all His commandments.

We bear this testimony in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen

"I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go"

1 It may not be on the mountain’s height
Or over the stormy sea,
It may not be at the battle’s front
My Lord will have need of me;
But if by a still, small voice He calls
To paths I do not know,
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine,
I’ll go where You want me to go.

Refrain:
I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,
O'er mountain or plain or sea;
I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord,
I’ll be what You want me to be.

2 Perhaps today there are loving words
Which Jesus would have me speak,
There may be now, in the paths of sin,
Some wand’rer whom I should seek;
O Savior, if Thou wilt be my Guide,
Tho dark and rugged the way,
My voice shall echo the message sweet,
I’ll say what You want me to say. [Refrain]

3 There’s surely somewhere a lowly place
In earth’s harvest fields so wide,
Where I may labor thru life’s short day
For Jesus the Crucified;
So, trusting my all unto Thy care--
I know Thou lovest me 
I’ll do Thy will with a heart sincere,
I’ll be what You want me to be. [Refrain]

Praise To The Man - The Prophet Joseph Smith

Praise to the Man

June 27, 1844. We reflect on the past and realize that this is the date in church history that the prophet Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum Smith, were martyred in Carthage Jail. 

Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus annointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.

Praise to his memory, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins,
Stain Illinois* while the earth lauds his fame.

Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true, he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.

Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know "brother Joseph" again.

Chorus:

Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

Doctrine and Covenants 135:3

3 Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it. In the short space of twenty years, he has brought forth the Book of Mormon, which he translated by the gift and power of God, and has been the means of publishing it on two continents; has sent the fulness of the everlasting gospel, which it contained, to the four quarters of the earth; has brought forth the revelations and commandments which compose this book of Doctrine and Covenants, and many other wise documents and instructions for the benefit of the children of men; gathered many thousands of the Latter-day Saints, founded a great city, and left a fame and name that cannot be slain. He lived great, and he died great in the eyes of God and his people; and like most of the Lord’s anointed in ancient times, has sealed his mission and his works with his own blood; and so has his brother Hyrum. In life they were not divided, and in death they were not separated!

Alma's Conversion Testimony

 

Alma, a man in the Book of Mormon, shares with you his experience with the Lord Jesus Christ and the spirit that changed his heart. Notice how he felt prior to coming to Christ, and then how he felt afterwards.

The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ

The Book of Mormon is truly Another Testament of Jesus Christ. I testify that it is true. You will learn the truth about Jesus Christ, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and Joseph Smith by studying, pondering, and praying about these truths. The Holy Ghost will manifest to you that they are true.

How to Discover Truth

You can discover truth, especially truth about God, Jesus Christ, the Book of Mormon, or the true church by applying Moroni's formula.
