Come to the temple and we will be taught the Lord's ways, and we will walk in his path. (12:3)The adversary knows “that the home is the first and most effective place for children to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control; the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home.” (President David O. McKay, in Family Home Evening Manual, 1968-69, p. iii.)
And so today, the undermining of the home and family is on the increase, with the devil anxiously working to displace the father as the head of the home and create rebellion among the children. The Book of Mormon describes this condition when it states, “And my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.” And then these words follow-and consider these words seriously when you think of those political leaders who are promoting birth control and abortion: “O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err and destroy the way of thy paths.” (2 Ne. 13:12.) - President Ezra Taft Benson, "A Plea To Strengthen Our Families", General Conference, Oct. 1970
“I would rather have my child exposed to smallpox, typhus fever, cholera, or other malignant and deadly diseases than to the degrading influence of a corrupt teacher. It is infinitely better to take chances with an ignorant, but pure-minded teacher than with the greatest philosopher who is impure.” - Karl G. Maeser
2 Nephi 14:5-6
Dwelling place - home
Assemblies - church
Tabernacle - temple
In these do we find our guide during the day and night as well as a defense and refuge against the powers of the destroyer.
