Children are an heritage of the Lord

“As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them . . .”


Where does the Church stand on the social issues of marriage, abortion, homosexuality, etc?


Without spending so much time on the intricate details, let me first point you to a document that addresses these issues. Many of our doctrines are summed up or referenced in an official proclamation about the family.


“Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose. . .”

“Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. . .

Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed. . .

We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.”


I implore those that share our values to stand together and exercise their Constitutional right to peaceably assemble and petition state and local governments and all those who hold influence to uphold these principles that are essential to the integrity of our communities.
