Last week Todd led a great discussion about the temple. He began by inviting us to talk about why we have temples. We decided that (among other things), temples provide places for sacred ordinances for the living & the dead; they are places where God appears to His people; they places of refuge, preparation, and revelation; and they provide us a unique, eternal perspective.
This led us into an interesting discussion about ordinances and why we have them at all. It was pointed out that they have power through their symbolism, and that they create/solidify commitment in conjunction with the covenants that are made.
It was also mentioned that if we don't give space for something, it will get crowded out of our lives. Therefore, setting aside "protected space" for temples and temple work is critical for our spiritual well-being.
