The result of Mormonism
During priesthood meeting last Sunday, we studied the last chapter of the David O. McKay manual. I came across a couple paragraphs that I liked:
Husbands, be true to your wives, not only in act, but in thought; wives, be true to your husbands. Children, be true to your parents; do not [assume] that the are old-fashioned in their beliefs and you know more than they do…. Strangers, seeing such homes, will say, “Well, if that is the result of Mormonism, I think it is good.”
Let the sincere investigators who believe more from what they see than from what they hear, find, upon investigation, that “Mormons” prove by example in the home, by devotion, and in their service to God, that they believe and know that God is their Father. [Teachings of the Presidents of the Church, David O. McKay, p. 230]
Mormonism sets high standards for its members, and though no Mormon is perfect (and hopefully no Mormon implies that he or she or any member of the Church is perfect), the high standard is worth striving for. It brings purpose and peace into your life. If you’re interested in being challenged to love your family more, do more service, and be more kind, the teachings of Mormonism may be able to help.
