General Conference of the Mormon Church: about Temples
Last weekend in Salt Lake City another Conference of the Church of Jesus Chrsit of Latter-day Saints was held. The online texts of the Conference are available
One interesting talk among many others was about temples. Elder Richard H. Winkel Of the Seventy said:
“When you come to the temple you will love your family with a deeper love than you have ever felt before. The temple is about families. As my wife, Karen, and I have increased our temple service, our love for each other and for our children has increased. And it doesn’t stop there. It extends to parents, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, forebears, and especially our grandchildren! This is the Spirit of Elijah, which is the spirit of family history work; and when inspired by the Holy Ghost, it prompts the turning of the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. Because of the priesthood, husbands and wives are sealed together, children are sealed to their parents for eternity so the family is eternal and will not be separated at death.”
Clearly the importance of temples is a recurring theme in Mormonism.
