Power, Purpose, and Protection: How to keep it.

Keeping a steady feeling of power, purpose, and protection in an ever-changing, fallen world seems impossible. Yet, there is one place we can go to feel it again and again - the temple. Sister Carolyn Johnson discusses how the Sealing Ordinance provides us an eternal perspective - power; establishes our eternal identity within our family unit - purpose; and that as a family unit we can achieve eternal life - protection from a fallen world. No matter how "imperfect" our family may be, if we are covenant keepers, these blessings apply to all of us.
