“Eternal principles
are the scaffolding the Church provides. These eternal principles are embedded
in the doctrines of the kingdom of God and are reflected in His eternal plan of
happiness. We meet as members of the Church to teach and learn from each other the
principles of righteousness and to receive saving ordinances so the scaffolding
is steady and stable as we build our eternal families.
“Notice that the Church is not meant to do the work of
parents; rather, it guides the work of parents. The Church offers an eternal
form. As builders of eternal families, we are reassured by promises that is we
build according to this eternal form, our efforts can provide the safety and
protection we seek for those we love most.
Elder L. Tom Perry, “The Tradition of Light and Testimony,”
Ensign, Dec. 2012, 31.
