Celestial Traditions Overcome False Traditions

In Elder Richard J. Maynes General Conference talk, "Establishing a Christ Centered Home," he teaches about "celestial traditions" and establishing them in our homes. He said:

"Brothers and sisters, there is great power and protection for us and our youth in establishing celestial traditions in the home.

"Learning, teaching, and practicing the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our homes helps create a culture where the Spirit can dwell. Through establishing these celestial traditions in our homes, we will be able to overcome the false traditions of the world and learn to put the needs and concerns of others first" (Apr 2011).

Some of these "celestial traditions" include holding regular Family Home Evening each week, and family prayer and family scripture study each day. How can we more fully incorporate these celestial traditions in our homes?

How has your home become more Christ-Centered as your family has established celestial traditions? Please share your experiences and testimony of these truths in the comments.
