Linda S. Reeves - Saturday a.m. Session

Leaders are concerned about pornography that is attacking families.

 

We are on earth to learn to manage the passions and feelings.

 

The intimate relationship that brings children is to be a loving experience.

 

We need to learn to put each other first.

 

Many children, youth and adults are innocently exposed to pornography.

 

But many are choosing to view it willingly until it becomes an addiction.

 

How grateful we are that these people choose to confide in us or in church leaders.

 

We need to counsel with our youth on an ongoing basis.

 

The youth need to know the dangers of pornography which causes loss of the spirit.

 

Pornography is more evil, vile and graphic than ever before.

 

Parents are we aware that mobile devices with internet capacity are the biggest culprits?

 

How merciful our beloved Savior is.

 

Our Savior has the power to cleanse and heal you.

 

The leaders are also concerned with the spouses and families of those with these addictions.

 

Know that you are not alone.  There is help.

 

Addiction recovery meetings are available for spouses.

 

How do we protect our children and youth?

 

The only things that really need to be accomplished in the home is scripture study, prayer and weekly Family Home Evening.

 

There are much blessings in daily scripture study, prayer and family home evening.  This brings protection in the homes.

 

If we are doing this we can expect much help from Heavenly Father knowing we have done all that we can do.

 

The Savior has paid the price of our sins but we must also kneel and plead for forgiveness.

 

We must want to change our hearts and our desires.

 

The Book of Mormon carries the power to protect families.

So glad to see a sister addressing this topic. It's not just a "guy problem" anymore. We'll likely be making this into an FHE lesson soon.

I thought it seemed weird to hear a sister give this talk.  Not wrong necessarily, but just off routine.  We're used to hearing feel-good talks from sisters, not heavy-hitting ones.
