The terms and conditions of God's covenants are not negotiable and honoring them is not optional. We are dismayed by the casual and even cavalier way some treat their temple covenants, including the casual and inconsistent wearing of the temple garment. There is among some a growing sense of spiritual apathy and sporadic covenant keeping that is becoming increasingly common among those who should know and do better. Covenant keeping has nothing to do with personal preference or convenience, and everything to do with commitment. We are confident that if these sacred covenants were better understood, they would be honored and cherished above all other commitments.
