‘Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?’ 1 Corinthians 3:16
Talks at the latest General Conference were once again pretty much the same as they’ve always been. The exception was the announcements from the top three who spoke a lot on their health issues.
We’ll be looking at those in the upcoming days but today we’re looking at a speech given by the 1st Counselor of the Relief Society J. Annette Dennis. Ms. Dennis reminded everyone about the importance of wearing garments and how they show that someone truly loves Jesus Christ. For more info see article at Deseret News.
In part, here’s what she had to say –
“…Everything in the house of the Lord points to the Savior and His atoning sacrifice…
“Our temple garment reminds us that the Savior and the blessings of His Atonement cover us throughout our lives. As we put on the garment of the holy priesthood each day, that beautiful symbol becomes a part of us.”
Romans 13:14 says, “Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“By keeping my covenants and obligations with God, including wearing the garment of the holy priesthood, my very life can become a personal symbol of my love and deep gratitude for my Savior, Jesus Christ and my desire to have Him with me always.”
Someone does not have to wait for a mission or marriage to make temple covenants. Choose a deeper relationship with God by making covenants with Him in the house of the Lord.
Matthew 6:31 “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?”
In light of what she said we’re wondering…
- What about the Lord’s comment that we shouldn’t worry about our raiment?
- Putting on Jesus Christ doesn’t mean we need reminders that we’re following the Lord.
- How do Mormons make a temple covenant with their god if they don’t do so in a temple?
- Why would someone need garments to remind them of Jesus when the Holy Spirit already resides inside the believer?
The first thought when I read her speech was how sad it made me for people like my mother. She’s not temple worthy and has never grasped the concept the HS takes up residence inside of someone upon a confession of faith.
Please, pray for Jesus to intervene and protect the hearts of everyone who listened to this woman’s lies!
With Love in Christ —
