If the temple law of sacrifice involces laying down our pride, we must come to a better understanding of humility. Humility is NOT the act of tearing yourself down.

With His perfect knowledge, Christ knows when our suffering is needed for our growth and when it is not.

Here we discuss the temple law of sacrifice as compared to the chapel law of sacrifice.

Christ knows all things. He knows the whole human experience as well as each human being.

Vital to the success of marriages and families is prayer and repentance.

C.S. Lewis caught the vision that Christ is willing to pay our debt to justice as long as we meet His terms. In Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis presents what he claims are Christ's terms. Let's compair them to when we know in the restored gospel.

In this episode, we discuss the difference between the law of obedience we covenant to obey in the chapel and the covenant we make in the temple.

Have you ever received a prompting and then the next day doubted it? Do you sometimes think that Christ blesses others, but not you? Knowing that Christ does not change his mind, or take blessings back, or have favorites, is vital to our faith.

Successful marriages and families are build upon faith.

Truth often comes with a false imitation. We are warned not to fall for the imitation. The Queen of Underland, in The Silver Chair, is a powerful illustration of Satan's power to enchant us with an imitation.

Understanding the symbolism of Cherubim and the flaming sword is vital to creating clear expectation of ourselves. Far too often, we expect more of ourselves that God expects of us, and that causes us discouragement.

It is easy to love Christ and be afraid of Him at the same time. He knows all that we have done. Yet, Jesus does not throw stones. Any interaction we might have with Him, would never include shame or comdemnation.

We have the perfect example to follow when it comes to parenting: our Heavenly Parents.

In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Eustice illustrates our feeble attempt to let go of Telestial and Terrestrial things and our need for the Savior's help.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ teaches that all get what they truly desire. C.S Lewis powerfully illustrated this in the Chronicles of Narnia.

Family is central to our Heavenly Father. To be the most successful in our earthly families, we must follow this pattern and keep family central in our lives.

A few temple connections will help us better understand the covenants of the temple, in general, and the initiatory ordanances sepecifically.

One of the defining aspects of the character of Christ is that He is "slow to anger and long-suffering, and of a forgiving disposition, and does forgive iniquity, transgression, and sin."

The Chronicles of Narnia present Aslan as a big scary lion, who is the kindest, most loving creature. Likewise, we love Christ and are afraid of Him at the same time.

We each belong to 3 families: The Family of God the Father; the Family of Christ; and our earthly families. To make the third one eternal, we must fully embrace the first two.

Our journey through mortality includes traveling through the telestial and terrestrial worlds. To enter the celestial world, we must let go of all things telestial and terrestrial. In the temple, we find help to leave the terrestrial world and enter the celestial.

As we begin our study of the characher of Christ, we start with the grand reality that He is the great I AM.
