2. “I
think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in
one of His holy temples.”- President Thomas S. Monson, “The Holy
Temple,” Ensign, Feb. 1995
3. The
way you feel in the temple is a pattern for how you want to feel in your
life. By Elder
Neil L. Andersen, Spiritual Whirlwinds, general Conference APRIL
2014
4. "Do you young people want a sure way to eliminate the influence of the adversary in your life? Immerse yourself in searching for your ancestors, prepare their names for the sacred vicarious ordinances available in the temple, and then go to the temple to stand as proxy for them to receive the ordinances of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. As you grow older, you will be able to participate in receiving the other ordinances as well. I can think of no greater protection from the influence of the adversary in your life.” Elder Scott Oct 2012, The Joy of Redeeming the Dead
5. “In
the temple, all are dressed in spotless white. “The symbolic purity of white
likewise reminds us that God is to have a pure people.- Russell M. Nelson,
Ensign October 2010
6. "If
you will go to the temple and remember that the teaching is symbolic, you will
never go in the proper spirit without coming away with your vision extended,
feeling a little more exalted, with your knowledge increased as to things that
are spiritual. The teaching plan is superb. It is inspired. The Lord Himself,
the Master Teacher, taught His disciples constantly in parables—a verbal way to
represent symbolically things that might otherwise be difficult to
understand".(Elder Boyd K. Packer, The Holy Temple, Ensign, Feb. 1995
7. “My
young friends who are in your teenage years, always have the temple in your
sights. Do nothing which will keep you from entering its doors and partaking of
the sacred and eternal blessings there.”-President Thomas S.
Monson, “The Holy Temple—a Beacon to the
World,” Ensign, May 2011
8. “ I
know your lives are busy. I know that you have much to do. But I make you a
promise that if you will go to the house of the Lord, you will be blessed, life
will be better for you.”- Gordon B. Hinckley, fireside, Lima, Peru, 9 Nov. 1996
9. “Until
you have received the sacred [temple] ordinances of the gospel, you have not
received all of the wonderful blessings which this Church has to offer. The
great and crowning blessings of membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints are those blessings which come to us in the house of the Lord”
President Gordon B. Hinckley, meeting, Worcester,Massachusetts, October 1998
10. "Temple. One other
word is equal in importance to a Latter-day Saint. Home. Put the words holy
temple and home together, and you have described the house of the Lord!"-
Boyd K Packer, The Temple, the Priesthood, APRIL 1993
