Receiving personal revelation is not a passive process. As we seek such revelations, we must prepare for these sacred experiences.

The temple is a place of worship. Reverence is a supernal form of worship. It is the form of worship found in the celestial kingdom.

The temple and the holy ordinances are indeed sacred, and we should be spiritually sensitive to them. It is a sacred blessing to attend the temple to worship the Lord.

Integrity is the core of our character. Without integrity we have a weak foundation upon which to build other Christ-like characteristics.

It is inappropriate to discuss matters of business, pleasure or current events in the temple.

There is a difference in just attending the temple and having a rich spiritual experience. The real blessings of the temple come as we enhance our temple experience. To do so, we must feel a spirit of reverence for the temple and a spirit of worship.

At times, our circumstances call for us to make critical choices to keep our covenants or to compromise them. Covenants should never be compromised, even when at the moment some circumstances might seem to justify it.
