The new home-centered and
Church-supported curriculum needs to influence
more powerfully family religious
observance and behavior and personal religious
observance and behavior. We know the spiritual impact and
the deep and lasting conversion that can be achieved
in the home setting. In the home-centered,
Church-supported portion of this adjustment, there is
flexibility for each individual and family to determine
prayerfully how and when it will be implemented. For example, while this will
greatly bless all families, based on local needs
it would be completely appropriate for young singles,
single adults, single parents, part-member families,
new members, and others to gather in groups outside the
normal Sunday worship services to enjoy gospel sociality
and be strengthened by studying together the
home-centered, Church-supported resource. This would be
accomplished informally by those who so desire. The goal of these
adjustments is to obtain a deep and lasting conversion
of adults and the rising generation. The first page of the
individual and family resource points out: "The aim of all
gospel learning and teaching is to deepen our conversion
and help us become more like Jesus Christ. ... This means relying on Christ
to change our hearts." This is assisted by
reaching "beyond a classroom into an individual's
heart and home. It requires consistent, daily
efforts to understand and live the gospel. True conversion requires the
influence of the Holy Ghost."
