Peacemakers in your homes

 In a Father’s Day social media post on Sunday June 15, 2025, President Russel M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints expressed gratitude for peacemakers. 

“I’ve spoken recently about the need for peacemakers. On this Father’s Day I feel gratitude for all the fathers who act as peacemakers in their homes and communities,” President Nelson said. “My own father was an example of this during my childhood. And I have tried my very best to carry over his righteous influence into my own family, which now includes hundreds of people—each of whom I love dearly!”

In his Father’s Day message, President Nelson issued a promise to fathers around the world. 

“Fathers, as you become peacemakers in your homes, you can literally thwart the influence of the adversary,” he said. “As you demonstrate the charity that true followers of Jesus Christ manifest, the Lord will magnify your efforts beyond your loftiest imagination.  

“As you follow the Prince of Peace, you will become His peacemakers.” 

grow from the trials of life

 

“This is the Lord’s house. It is filled with His power,” President Nelson said. “Those who live His higher laws have access to His higher power. God’s power helps us to grow from the trials of life, rather than be defeated by them. God’s power also helps us to withstand temptations with joy in our hearts.”

In addition to President Nelson’s teachings about the power of God conveyed in the house of the Lord, he also talked about the role temples play in helping individuals receive personal revelation.

“This house of the Lord can become a sacred place of revelation for you. You can learn things in the temple that you cannot learn anywhere else on earth,” he said.

That promised blessing of revelation comes with additional benefits of peace and confidence — confidence he also spoke about in his most recent general conference address.

“Because of your worship here, you will be blessed with peace, even in your most turbulent times. You will feel closer to your Heavenly Father and to your Savior, Jesus Christ. You will experience greater spiritual confidence,” he said Sunday at the Syracuse temple.

As examples of the types of revelation that can be received in the temple, President Nelson said: “As you sincerely seek Jesus Christ, you will find Him here, in His holy house. You will feel His mercy — here. You will find answers to your most vexing questions — here. You will better comprehend the joy of His gospel.”

Sister Nelson said being in the temple feels different than any other place on earth because it is the Lord’s house.

“Time in the temple puts everything into an eternal frame,” she said. “What we experience inside the temple is real and really important.”
