November 11, 2012 RS Lesson

Today's lesson was taught by Sister Carol Richardson and was titled "Temporal Salvation for Ourselves and Others"

Sister Sarah Sherrill shared her memories from the Great Depression and World War II and Sister Richardson shared momentoes of her parent's experiences of the same time.

Discussion included the link between Temporal and Spiritual salvation and what we might do to prepare ourselves now for unexpected times ahead.

"We are living in perilous times. The scriptures are being fulfilled, and as it appears to me this is the particular time when, if it were possible, the very elect would be deceived. It is remarkable how easy it is for those who desire to advance their financial interests in the world to find a reason for setting aside the plain teachings of the Lord with reference to our lives. And it is strange to me how many people fall into the habit of listening to those who say things that are contrary to the revealed will of our Heavenly Father. …
… This people have been advised to conserve their energies and their means. We have been taught by those whom the Lord has raised up to instruct us that we should live within our income, that we should not follow the fashions of the world and expend as rapidly and even more rapidly than we can earn the money that comes into our hands, to take care of ourselves and our families."
