Sponsored: 7 pieces of art to teach your children about Christ

Our homes are meant to be a place of safety, beauty and expression. At Havenlight, our goal is to ‘‘Let Art Be Your Voice,” and we want to help you create an environment where children can come to know Jesus Christ. How do you want Him to be depicted in your home? What we hang on our walls has the power to influence our children’s lives little by little, day by day. The art that your children see each day can help them to cultivate a relationship with Christ and create spiritual connections with the world around them. In General Conference, Neil L. Anderson recently asked "are there images of the Savior in our homes?" Here are seven pieces of art that will bring your children a better understanding of Christ:

Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson Lesson 21: Principles of Temporal and Spiritual Welfare

By Kelly Merrill

The welfare system of the Church, formerly known as the Church Security Plan, has been around for more than 75 years. It is a sad historical fact that handouts create a society of slaves, dependent on the dole. The Church does not believe in robbing people of their sense of self-worth.

Ministering: How to Be Given Love for Someone Else

By Michelle Wilson

I wonder if, when Paul penned the immortal words, “charity never faileth” (1 Corinthians 13:8) he had any idea it would be the mantra and motto for millions and millions of women nearly 2,000 years later. Probably not. Yet is it. It’s the theme of Relief Society. It is the greatest commandment. Mormon taught that charity, “is the pure love of Christ” (Moroni 7:47). That sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? But he also said that without it, we are nothing (See Moroni 7:46).
