The 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 WidtsoeThe only way to build a peaceful community is to build men and women who are lovers and makers of peace.
John Andreas WidtsoeFinally it may be said that the temple endowment is not secret. All who meet the requirements for entrance to the temple may enjoy it.

John Andreas WidtsoeThe universe exists under a reign of eternal law, surpassing the imperfect laws of human government. Such orderliness, such domination by law, imply intelligent planning and purpose. Nothing happens of itself. Nowhere, in the age-old experience of man, has continued order been found except as the product of intelligent direction.
