Our Homes Should Be Filled With Gospel Treasures

Our Homes Should Be Filled with Gospel Treasures
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings

?We may be well-advised to consider together, in family council, standards for our homes to keep them sacred and to allow them to be a ?house of the Lord.? The admonition to ?establish . . . A house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God? (D&C 88:119) provides divine insight into the type of home the Lord would have us build. Doing such begins the construction of a ?spiritual mansion? in which we all may reside regardless of our worldly circumstance?a home filled with treasure that ?neither moth nor rust doth corrupt? (see Matthew 6:19?20; 3 Nephi 13:19?20).? Ref. "Sacred Homes, Sacred Temples,? Ensign, May 2009, 102

I couldn't agree more, it is easy to forget how important the home is. I have to admit that when I think of learning I will think of school, church, or the temple, but not the home, even though it is at home where I spend more time at then all the others combined. I think D&C 88:118 says it best:

Besides the scriptures, I think it's a matter of personal opinion, as to what you consider the "best books"
I categorize books in this way:
Spiritual
Educational/Informational
Enjoyment/fun

I don't see anything wrong in reading for enjoyment, as long as you keep reading the scriptures.
