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
