New Testament Lesson 17: "What Shall I Do That I May Inherit Eternal Life?"

INTRODUCTION: The scriptures speak clearly to us about the dangers of wealth. So many of the apostasies chronicled in the pages of the standard works are related to a longing for filthy lucre. Paul was probably right when he said that the "love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10). The danger of this love of loot is a theme often repeated in the pages of the New Testament. In this lesson we will review some of those divine warnings and moral tragedies recorded to serve as admonitions to the faithful of all ages that we should focus our energy on the things that matter most: Jesus said, "let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your minds." (D&C 43:34)

Had the beautiful conditions of the day been any indicator, the day I’m about to describe would not exist in our family’s folklore. But alas, Mother’s Day 11 years ago will forever be known as the day I landed face down on the floor of the chapel, on top of my 3-year-old, in the middle of sacrament meeting, with my skirt flung over my head.
