‘And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent’ Matthew 27:51
General Conference, ‘The Finest Homes’, April 2020 “…As we continue in faith, the Lord gradually changes us. We receive His image in our countenance and begin to reflect the love and beauty of His character. As we become more like Him, we will feel at home in His house, and He will feel at home in ours.
We can maintain our home’s close connection to His home by qualifying for and using a temple recommend as frequently as circumstances allow. As we do so, the holiness of the Lord’s house rests in our house as well.” — L. Whitney Clayton
Acts 17:24 “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands”.
In response to a temple worthiness article on our blog the other day, someone commented and said, ‘Jesus is my temple recommend’.
Oh, how we wish members of the Church would feel the same way! Their list of requirements to be holy enough is dizzying, even for the busiest of people. To see a sample of those requirements, click on the link to read Mr. Clayton’s speech in full.
Furthermore, one has to wonder what Mormons have learned about God’s presence in their homes with the ongoing pandemic issues.
If they can’t visit their temples, will their god reside in their homes?
When you have the opportunity, share what Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:17 regarding how our characters change as we walk with the Lord, and that God indwells believers. 1 Corinthians 3:16, and 6:19.
Lastly beloved, also share the great news that today is the day of salvation! 2 Corinthians 6:2
With Love in Christ;

I believe it was Gordon B Hinkley, that told members to have pictures of Mormon Temples in their homes. Pictures of a Temple (any LDS Temple) and a LDS Church depiction of Christ, in every room of the house. I honestly believe that many Mormons believe these pictures or paintings, will somehow bless their homes, because they were divinely directed through the church prophet
