A continual target of the Mormon Church is to “perfect the saints.” Mormons understand the Biblical term “saint” to mean a member of Christ's Church, with today's members having the designation “latter-day saints,” or members of Christ's Church living in these, the final days of the world.  So, “perfecting the saints” is an effort to help members of the Mormon Church be pretty much as good as they can be.  To this end, members are taught and inspired to follow the perfect example set by Jesus Christ. 

Mormon temples help in this mission.  They are a peaceful sanctuary, and they offer holy ordinances. 

Mormon churches are devoted as places set apart from the world, thereby creating an atmosphere whereby the Almighty Spirit can have a stronger effect on the human mind and heart.  Members of the Mormon Church who maintain certain standards of conduct and have powerful faith in Jesus Christ are permitted to enter churches.  These modern churches are like ancient temples, where only those that went thru a process of purification gained access to the church's inner courts.  As in days gone by, modern saints who have demonstrated true cleanliness, by obedience to divine standards and commandments, may be able to enter a temple and receive the blessings available there.  This concept was expressed quite obviously by James Faust, an affiliate of the Mormon Church's First Presidency :

The days of our lives will be considerably sanctified as we frequent the temples to learn the transcending religious relations we have with Deity.  We want to try harder to be found standing in holy places. 

To those who are worthy and ready, the temple is a “holy place” where the Spirit of the Lord can unreservedly dwell.  In this manner Mormon churches function as a sanctuary to those that attend them, providing a place that is holy and has been set aside as a house of the Lord.  They're places for prayer, meditation, and revelation.

Arepeated objective of the Mormon Church is to “perfect the saints.” Mormons understand the Biblical term “saint” to mean a member of Christ's Church, with today's members having the designation “latter-day saints,” or members of Christ's Church living in these, the final days of the Earth.  So, “perfecting the saints” is an effort to help members of the Mormon Church be nearly as good as they can be.  To this end, members are taught and inspired to follow the ideal example set by Jesus Christ. 

Mormon temples help in this mission.  They are a peaceful refuge, and they offer holy ordinances. 

Mormon churches are devoted as places placed aside from the world, thus making an atmosphere wherein the Almighty Spirit can have a better effect on the human mind and heart.  Members of the Mormon Church who maintain certain standards of conduct and have powerful religion in Jesus Christ are permitted to enter temples.  These modern temples are similar to ancient temples, where only people who went thru a process of purification gained access to the church's inner courts.  As in days gone by, modern saints who have demonstrated true cleanness, by obedience to divine standards and commandments, are able to enter a church and receive the blessings available there.  This concept was expressed quite obviously by James Faust, a member of the Mormon Church's First executive :

The days of our lives will be significantly blessed as we frequent the temples to learn the transcending spiritual relations we've got with Deity.  We want to try harder to be found standing in holy places. 

To those who are worthy and ready, the temple is a “holy place” where the Spirit of the Lord can readily dwell.  In this way Mormon churches serve as a sanctuary to those that attend them, providing a place that is holy and has been set aside as a house of the Lord.  They are places for prayer, meditation, and revelation.

A repeated target of the Mormon Church is to “perfect the saints.” Mormons understand the Biblical term “saint” to mean an affiliate of Christ's Church, with today's members having the designation “latter-day saints,” or members of Christ's Church living in these, the final days of the planet.  So, “perfecting the saints” is an effort to help members of the Mormon Church be pretty much as good as they can be.  To this end, members are taught and encouraged to follow the perfect example set by Jesus Christ. 

Mormon churches help in this mission.  They are definitely a tranquil refuge, and they offer sacred ordinances. 

Mormon churches are dedicated as places placed aside from the world, so making an atmosphere whereby the Almighty Spirit can have a better effect on the human mind and heart.  Members of the Mormon Church who maintain certain standards of conduct and have robust religion in Jesus Christ are allowed to enter churches.  These modern churches are like traditional temples, where only those who went thru a process of purification obtained access to the temple's inner courts.  As in days gone by, modern saints who have demonstrated true cleanness, by obedience to divine standards and commandments, are able to enter a temple and receive the blessings available there.  This idea was voiced quite clearly by James Faust, a member of the Mormon Church's First executive :

The days of our lives will be considerably sanctified as we frequent the temples to learn the transcending non secular relations we have with Deity.  We need to try harder to be found standing in holy places. 

To those who are deserving and ready, the church is a “holy place” where the Spirit of the Lord can freely dwell.  In this fashion Mormon temples serve as a refuge to people who attend them, providing a place that is holy and has been set aside as a house of the Lord.  They're places for prayer, meditation, and revelation.
