The importance of having our homes oriented towards the temple, attending it frequently to set an example for our children, emphasizing the sacredness of the temple, and ensuring a strong connection to God through our covenants is highlighted. Drawing on the example from King Benjamin's teachings, it is shown that by aligning ourselves with the temple, families can receive the word of the Lord and make new covenants, ultimately strengthening their spiritual connection. The metaphor of pitching towards the temple serves as a powerful analogy to instill these values in children and reinforce the significance of temple worship in our lives.
Ever wondered what makes someone a Saint? Join Dr. Jennifer Brinkerhoff Platt delves into the beginning of the Book of Mosiah and sheds light on living covenants, the responsibilities of Christians, and gratitude.
