I believe that is only possible, even individually in our own homes, if we are pure in heart, meaning we truely have Charity, the Pure Love of Christ. <br /><br />Charity is an added Endowment from heaven, after we have proven we will keep all our covenants. <br /><br />Unfortunately the willingness to do what it takes to receive this gift of Charity seems very rare today. But it must be acquired before we try to establish Zion, or all our attempts will fail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880654315943365046.post-76328104423719859022010-07-01T21:33:23.998-06:002010-07-01T21:33:23.998-06:00Anon.... is there a temple prep. class in your war...Anon.... is there a temple prep. class in your ward?

The ceremony is not telling you about history, but telling you about the universal problem of mortality. It is the story of every person who has ever lived or will ever live.<br /><br />I've written a paper about the first three words spoken by the players in the endowment. If you've sent your email address in we've sent you a copy. I think the talk is a good example of how the Temple has meaning to orient all of us in what we are now facing in mortality.<br /><br />The more you bring with you to the Temple, the more you get out of it. It was intended to make us reflect or meditate deeply. Its meaning surrenders to patient and solemn thoughts. It is a feast for those willing to contemplate meanings and explore symbolism.Denver Snufferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850530477432070456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880654315943365046.post-77580445809271541362010-07-01T18:59:35.824-06:002010-07-01T18:59:35.824-06:00Denver, I have a son whom I never thought would go...Denver, I have a son whom I never thought would go on a mission that is about to turn in missionary papers in a few weeks. Going through the temple has been on my mind too. I have thought I would pull out his Dad's clothes and show them to him for one thing. But what suggestions might you have about what I should talk to him about...if you are willing. Your understanding is so much greater than mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880654315943365046.post-8696522143355633302010-07-01T17:54:48.784-06:002010-07-01T17:54:48.784-06:00Denver, in your view what are the major factors in...Denver, in your view what are the major factors in making adults idolatrous and not teachable like primary or YM/YW?

(All boys.) Once they had a "special" mtg. in RS we got to go to... goodie! After about 5 min. I was thinking, "I've been missing RS for what?" It was almost *weird* to me. Having been in Primary for over 3 yrs. I have not "depended" on my ward per se for any real spiritual nourishment... it's all been personal study. I wonder how long I'll be in Primary, cuz one of us is getting weirder all the time... :OAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
