Week 66-  Consider Your Ways

Scriptures:

Haggai 1

Alma 26

General Conference Address:  

“Honorably Hold a Name and Standing” Elder David A Bednar CR 4/2009

Thought:

“There is a difference between church-attending, tithe-paying members who occasionally rush into the temple to go through a session and those members who faithfully and consistently worship in the temple.” (Ibid)

Misc:

If we don’t make invitations, too many will stop exercising their faith and will wander on forbidden paths. We must always be about the business of inviting people to exercise their faith. We can bring the spirit with us, like a flashlight in a dark room, but when we leave, so does the light. inviting them to exercise faith will give them access to the lightswitch...if they want it!

Invitation: 

Identify five scriptures about getting people into temples and study them in greater detail. Reread Alma 26 and identify what the sheaths and the garners might represent. Record your thoughts about what protections are available in the “garners” and why the sheaths are vulnerable until they get into the garners.
