Dallas Texas Temple

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints builds temples all around the world where faithful members go to learn more of Jesus Christ and his plan, receive ordinances for themselves, and perform vicarious work for their deceased ancestors. These temples are beautifully constructed both inside and out. They are designed to direct our thoughts heavenward and seal families together for eternity. The redemptive work that is performed here is not to be found anywhere else on the earth. All people are invited to experience for themselves the grandeur and blessings of temple work by qualifying themselves to enter the House of the Lord.  In the meantime, I'll be taking you through the A to Z of our temples.

DALLAS TEXAS TEMPLE

The distinctive sloping roof design of the Dallas Texas Temple is found amongst several other temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for example in the Las Vegas Nevada, Manila Philippines, and Seoul Korea temples and is a sister building to the Boise Idaho and Chicago Illinois temples. This design, coupled with the tall spires, naturally draws the eyes heavenward, suitable for the holy purpose of this building.

These temples are monuments to the Lord and desire to instill in all who see them or go inside, a deep reverence for Deity and to encourage our minds to draw nearer to the things of godliness. 

Through revealed scripture, Latter-day Saints have an eternal perspective, viewing this life as an important stepping stone and preparatory time for an eternal life to come. In temples, families can be sealed together forever.

"I have a fam'ly here on earth,

They are so good to me,

I want to share my life with them through all eternity.

Fam'lies can be together forever

Through Heav'nly Father's plan.

I always want to be with my own family,

And the Lord has shown me how I can.

The Lord, has shown me how I can."

(From Church Hymns, #300)
