If you’re new here, you may want to sign up for email alerts or subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for reading!Mike Batie has put together another very nice video of the interiors of the newly remodeled Mexico City Temple from the Church’s official publicity photos. Take a look.
The Church released new details yesterday about the five new temples that will be built, including locations. I’ve linked the approximate locations to Google Maps below. Please let me know if any of the linked maps are incorrect:
The Philadelphia temple will be built in downtown Philadelphia, at North Broad Street between Hamilton Street and Noble [...]
President Monson announces the construction of five more temples around the world - near Kansas City, Philadelphia Pennsilvania, Calgary Canada, Rome Italy, and Cordoba Argentina. This brings the number of temples around the world which are operating, in planning or under construction, to 145.
The announcement of the building of the San Salvador, El Salvador, temple was particularly moving for me since that is where I served my mission (’00-’02). The closest temple for members in the country when I served there was the Guatemala City Guatemala Temple. Making the trip to Guatemala typically took members years of saving, [...]

To continue my research I wanted to know as accurately as possible the story about this symbol, the “seal of Melchizedek,” as it was used in the San Diego Temple. I couldn’t find a good account online, so I decided to go to the source. Who better would know than the design [...]
A week ago my parents took a trip down to California to see my younger brother dance with the BYU Ballroom Dance Team at the Embassy Ball in Irvine, California. As part of their trip they had the chance to do some fun things, like go to Disneyland. Whenever they are on a vacation during [...]
There is a great new LDS-oriented temple-themed blog in the Bloggernacle entitled Pronaos, which is run by Grampa Enoch. From the first few posts this appears like it will be a very good blog indeed.
The word pronaos comes from the Greek for “before a temple” (pro-before, naos-temple). It references the inner area of the portico [...]
The account of the garden of Eden in Genesis is a very interesting story indeed. We learn much about the experiences of our first parents and their interactions with God. It was a very intimate relationship, one in which God walked and talked with Adam and Eve in the garden (Gen. 3:8).
When Adam was first [...]
Here is the latest very well done compilation by Mike Batie of officially published photographs of the newest Twin Falls Idaho Temple. Enjoy!

This video comes from Times-News at MagicValley.com. It is introduced by Elder [...]

To continue our discussion on whether God may dwell in temples on earth, and whether there exists a need for further temples after Christ, we might look again to the Bible to see if God dwelled in those sacred edifices which He commanded to be built in ancient times.
The first example that [...]
A respectful evangelical protestant reader of TempleStudy.com has asked this question:
Paul tells us in the sermon at Mars Hill that the Lord does not “dwell in houses built by hands” (Acts 17:24-25, Stephen echoes this in ch 7 of the same book) but rather that the Holy Spirit of God dwells in us; that is, [...]
Here is yet another excellent temple video, this time of the interior of the Newport Beach California Temple. It was compiled by a member of the church, mikebatie on YouTube, from official photos published by the Church, taken probably during the time of the open house of the temple before the dedication. The [...]
In case you missed it, President Monson yesterday announced plans to build two more temples, both in Arizona. One will be in Gila Valley, and the other in Gilbert. The LDS Newsroom notes that this will bring the number of temples operating, and in planning or construction, to 139. These are also [...]
