Do we have any idea just how prophetic The Family: A Proclamation to the World<\/a> was when it was given to us in 1995? Back then, we thought everything it stated was so obvious. Today everything it says has been challenged.<\/p>\n

This document states so clearly the issues of our day:<\/p>\n

Gender Dysphoria\u2014 \u201cMale and female \u2026 Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abortion, Suicide, Apathy, Depression, Atheism\u2014 \u201cSpirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Responsibility and Accountability\u2014 \u201cSacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Infidelity and all types of sexual sin\u2014 \u201cWe further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

Divorce and Abandonment\u2014 \u201cBy divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children.\u201d<\/p>\n

More warnings are listed in this document. Warnings that could have prevented much unhappiness if we had listened better and not been afraid to stand up against the adversary. Just think about all the pain and suffering that is happening all over the world. All because we simply haven\u2019t been paying attention and didn\u2019t believe in the eternal consequences.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not too late. We can still stand where we have crumbled. We can still choose to be cleansed even though we are stained. We can still call upon the Savior who paid the mighty price to bring us safely back home to our Father in Heaven. Though bruised and bleeding, we can still come home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
