I Love To See The Temple

Sorry for all the wordy posts. But here's another one.

I really took a lot from this last Stake Conference. I really needed to learn these things about the temple. My testimony has increased tremendously from what I’ve learned here and from taking President Duffin’s challenge to redouble our efforts. I’m posting this strictly for personal use but anyone is welcome to read. Obviously it is extremely condensed.


Sister Anderson-

The temple is a place to offer our selves, to sacrifice and commune with God.

If ever you have a vexing problem go to the temple. What is not solvable becomes solvable.


Merril J Bateman-

God comes to meet with His children in the temple.

Those who have temple recommends don’t usually need to see bishop. They go to the temple and get help to work things out.

Worship and work has same root. Everyone at the temple serves. Happiness and joy-that’s what work does. The temple helps you become self reliant.

He told a story of a severely handicap woman who finally had the chance to go to the temple. She was overjoyed because her whole life people had served her. For the first time, because of the temple, she could serve others.


President Duffin-

Set specific goals. Do not let anything get in the way. Be like the people who need to travel and plan to get to the temple.

What’s an acceptable offering in temple worship? Is it occasionally rushing in?

The Lord is sending a message. I feel strongly that we need to increase our temple attendance. The Lord may be preparing us for a day when a temple will be in our midst.

Satan will unleash every scheme, evil violation… Evil night darkens-we must come to the temple for safety and light. Membership in the church is not enough.

Vicarious service of the dead=most selfless service. Every time you come to the temple you will leave a better person guaranteed! We need to redouble our efforts.
