Would it not be well this Christmas to give first to the Lord, directly through obedience, sacrifice, and love, and then to give to him indirectly through gifts to friends and those in need as well as to our own? Should we do this, perhaps many of us would discover a new Christmas joy.
John Andreas WidtsoeThe line of communication between God and man is always open unless broken by man himself. We are, as it were, always in the presence of our Father in Heaven. Through His Holy Spirit, God is with us always and everywhere.
John Andreas Widtsoe... since birth control roots in a species of selfishness, the spiritual life of the user of contraceptives is also weakened.

John Andreas WidtsoeThe better men know the Lord, the better may the eternal truths we learn be applied in our daily lives.
