“Some may think, ‘We don’t need to attend church every
Sunday,’ or ‘We’ll pay tithing when things get better,’ or ‘I won’t support Church
leaders in this subject.’ But they say, ‘we know the Church is true. We’ll
never leave the gospel of Jesus Christ.’ Those with thoughts like these do not
realize the negative impact this lukewarm type of membership will have on their
lives and their posterity. The parents may remain active, but the risk of
losing their children is high—in this life and in eternity. Regarding those who
will not inherit celestial glory with their families, the Lord says, ‘These are
they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not
the crown over the kingdom of our God.’ Is that what we want for ourselves or
our children? Shouldn’t we be more valiant and less lukewarm for our own sake
and for the sake of our posterity?” – Elder Carlos A. Godoy
