Today's lesson in Gospel Essentials was on sacrifice. It was very interesting to be apart of this discussion. The teacher started off with the question of what IS sacrifice? It was generally agreed that it is a giving up of something desirable in token of something else.
I truly think that as we progress towards the 2nd coming of Christ, we are going to be asked to sacrifice more and more. Are we going to be ready? Are we going to be able to do it? With the calling I have, I can honestly say that most men can't even sacrifice time enough to fulfill the priesthood duty and complete their home teaching. How can they possibly comply when asked to sacrifice even more?
I don't know what the answer is, but I know what the result will be if things don't change soon...
Keep the Faith

what an interesting thought john... in our area recently, the bishop talked to the men about how hard things have been, and how much people have been struggling, financially, work (or lack thereof) etc. just a lot of hard situations. and then he told them to be prepared for more.
i agree, there are a lot of things that you can just see aren't going to get better. and sacrifice is a huge part of what we believe. and we all (well, most of us) commit to giving everything we have to the gospel... but now it's time to put our money where our mouth is i guess...
i'm going to copy this post and email it to ricky lol...
