Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Temple — Local services in Cranberry Township

What a wonderful building. A perfect spot for great pictures. The grounds are pretty all year round, too. It is so peaceful inside as well as on the grounds. Really worth a trip if you live close by especially. The inside is busy between 6:00 in the morning and 10:00 at night. Being able to go inside is reserved for members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints who own the building. That is just like the temple that the Jews had in Jesus time, which was only accessible to members of their faith. About 600 ft away is a regular church building that's open on Sundays and some other times, which is open to everyone.

The temple is the house of the Lord. In temples, God's children draw nearer to Him and His Son Jesus Christ by making sacred promises with Him. Those who worship in the house of the Lord receive peace, inspiration, joy, and spiritual power. Everything that occurs in the temple is centered on the Savior Jesus Christ, His role as our Redeemer, and His desire to have us return to the presence of God. In the temple, we are invited to commit to higher standards of personal conduct and faithfulness.

In the temple, the Savior’s testimony of His divine role is affirmed to us repeatedly: “no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

I have certainly felt all of that in the temple as I have visited...
