What do you know
about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Would you like to know more? Greg Trimble wrote about one “concept” of the
Church that earned his love.
Trimble wrote, “There are a lot
of reasons why I love the LDS Church but there’s one concept in particular that
I love more than any other. This one
concept that I’ve fallen in love with in Mormonism is foreign to all other
Christian churches and religions. This
concept is doctrinally denounced by the Christian leaders of the world. Pastors and priests don’t teach it at
all. In fact they teach against it based
on their traditions and understanding of the scriptures. But I learned by experience … that this
concept, this doctrine, this truth, is burning bright in the hearts of those
people who attend those churches.”
What is the doctrine? Why do members of other churches believe the
doctrine when their pastors and priests teach against it? The doctrine is that families can be sealed
together for all eternity if sealed by proper authority in the House of the
Lord – or temple. Why do people believe
this doctrine even though they hear speeches condemning it? They believe it because they are children of
God. They heard this doctrine in their
pre-earth life, and the belief is still a part of them. Almost all people want to be with their loved
ones forever. The Lord has provided a
way for us to do so.
