The temple is a place of worship. Reverence is a supernal form of worship. It is the form of worship found in the celestial kingdom.
-
Irreverence not only shows disrespect to Deity but also makes it hard for the Spirit to teach us the things we need to know.
-
Receiving personal revelation is not a passive process. As we seek such revelations, we must prepare for these sacred experiences.
-
The temple is a place of holiness. It is the most sacred and holy place on earth and should be treated with the greatest degree of reverence and respect.
-
Christlike communications are expressed in tones of love rather than loudness. They are intended to be helpful rather than hurtful. They tend to bind us together rather than to drive us apart. They tend to build rather than to belittle.
-
To be reverent is not just to be quiet. It involves an awareness of what is taking place. It involves a divine desire to learn and to be receptive to the promptings of the Spirit. It involves a striving to seek added light and knowledge.
-
May we treasure the divine gift of communication, and may we use it wisely to build and to assist others on this marvelous journey through mortality.
-
Positive criticism is feedback given with the purpose of helping another person to grow and to develop. Negative criticism is intended to hurt and often to defame and to destroy.
-
There is a difference in just attending the temple and having a rich spiritual experience. The real blessings of the temple come as we enhance our temple experience. To do so, we must feel a spirit of reverence for the temple and a spirit of worship.
-
People as well as nations perish without scriptures. The scriptures are spiritual food for our spirit, which is just as important as physical food for our body.
-
Anger causes anguish to the souls of all of those who experience the feeling as well as to those who are the recipients of this emotional explosion.
