Come, Follow Me
Doctrine and Covenants Lesson 51:
December 13–19
“The Family Is Central to the Creator’s Plan”
The Family: A Proclamation to the World
President Dallin H. Oaks said: “I believe our attitude toward and use of the family proclamation is [a test] for this generation. I pray for all Latter-day Saints to stand firm in that test” (“The Plan and the Proclamation,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2017, 31). Ponder these words as you study the family proclamation this week.
