Joe J. Christensen, Of the Seventy

BYU-Idaho Devotional, February 2003

“Today, what I have to share with you relates to the major emphasis latter-day prophets, from the beginning to the present, have placed on temples and temple worship. I will include some of the chronological history of that development and then highlight the expulsion from Nauvoo and what the reconstruction of the Nauvoo temple means to us today. Finally, and very importantly, I would like to emphasize our individual responsibility to place more of our personal emphasis on temples and temple worship.”
