“Your temple recommend interview is not about do’s and
don’ts. A recommend is not a checklist, a hall pass, or a ticket for special
seating. It has a much higher and holier purpose. To qualify for the honor of a
temple recommend, you must live in harmony with the teachings of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In your interview you have the opportunity
to search your soul about your personal faith in Jesus Christ and His
Atonement. You have the blessing to express your testimony of the restored
gospel; your willingness to sustain those whom the Lord has called to lead His
Church; your faith in the doctrine of the gospel; your fulfillment of family
responsibilities; and your qualities of honesty, chastity, fidelity, obedience,
and observance of the Word of Wisdom, the law of tithing, and the sanctity of
the Sabbath day. Those are bedrock principles of a life devoted to Jesus Christ
and His work.” – Elder Ronald A Rasband
