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

By Ted L. Gibbons

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)

How the Mormon missionary movement continues to grow and change

Vigor Komar lives in a tiny apartment on a hill above Rijeka, Croatia - his bed tucked in the corner of the living room. He watches a small TV near the window. On the screen, it’s 1952. A very young June Carter lifts her long skirt to her knees and does a funny dance that’s half tap, half do-si-do. She’s laughing as she dances. Komar has watched this moment a thousand times. He likes June Carter, but he replays this black-and-white clip from The Kate Smith Evening Hour for what comes next: Hank Williams.
