“When parents ignore the counsel of the living prophet, they not only lose the promised blessings for themselves, but even more tragically teach their children that what a prophet says is insignificant or that prophetic counsel can be picked through in a smorgasbord fashion without concern for the resulting spiritual malnutrition.”
— Allen D. Haynie
When we are casual with our obedience, our speech when it comes to church leaders, or attendance in church counsels, meetings and callings, we are teaching our kids those things don’t really matter to us. We are modelling poor behaviour in relation to the covenants we have made and risk telling our children by our example, that the church doesn’t need to be a priority in our life! We can do better and be better.
