Here again in another of the lessons that some on the stream would not like to have people know about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints aka the Mormons aka the LDS Church (non-reformist) (non-pologymist).

Blessings of the Temple
---------------------------------------------------

"The ideals of faith, hope, and charity are most evident in the holy
temples. There we learn the purpose of life, strengthen our commitment as disciples of Christ by entering into sacred covenants with Him, and seal our families together for eternity across generations.

Receiving our own endowment in a temple and returning frequently to perform sacred ordinances for our kindred dead increases our faith, strengthens our hope, and deepens our charity. We receive our own endowment with faith and hope that we will understand the Lord's plan for His children, will recognize the divine potential within each of us as children of our Heavenly Father, and will be faithful to the end in keeping the covenants we make. Performing temple
ordinances for the dead is a manifestation of charity, offering
essential blessings to those who have preceded us, blessings that were not available to them during their mortal lives. We have the privilege of doing for them what they are unable to do for themselves."

(Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Cultivating Divine Attributes," Ensign, Nov.
1998, 27)

Although Elder Wirthlin has passed from this mortal coil his words ring as true now more than ever as families are falling apart; we have the way to save them for not just time but for all eternity.
