Temples
LDS
temples are dedicated to the Lord by selected Church Authorities for
the performance of sacred ordinances. These ordinances are outward
demonstrations of an inner commitment to God. We show this commitment by
covenants we make with Him during these special ceremonies and by
adhering to those covenants from then on. The crowning ordinance that
takes place in temples is that of sealing families so they can last
beyond the grave and into eternity. My greatest feelings of joy have come from making and keeping temple covenants.
