Staining rags eyed in Santa Rosa, Healdsburg house fires. Rags used to stain a deck ignited and touched off a Santa Rosa house fire Sunday — two days after a similar situation appeared to have sparked a two-alarm Eliza Fayle 's review Jan 06, I have to admit that I am not one for poetry or prose.
I just let his words wash over me and through me. Spiritual Rags to Spiritual Riches is a quick read cover to cover. I think it took me fifteen minutes. But, I encourage you to really take the time to think about each poem and to use the worksheets. Come back to the book as it calls to you, flip open to a page, and see what inspirations you gain from the poem there. We must make sure that our children have sufficient spiritual food and that they are protected from those influences that will prevent this food from being assimilated into spiritual nourishment.
If parents receive sufficient spiritual nourishment, does this assure that their children will have it also?
While some physical characteristics are inherited, experience teaches that strong faith and spirituality do not pass automatically from one generation to another. Consider the example of King Benjamin, one of the greatest teachers of the Book of Mormon.
But that marvelous faith and spirituality did not pass automatically to their posterity. Similarly, about a hundred years later, the powerful teachings of the Lamanite prophet Samuel caused many to believe. Perhaps you have seen among your own acquaintances some similar examples of parents who are faithful but whose children mostly reject or have no feeling for the faith of their ancestors. I have seen this, and I have puzzled over how it can happen. The intellect is housed in a spirit that must also be educated.
We all know that the Lord has commanded parents who have children in Zion to teach them to understand the fundamentals of the gospel—faith in Christ and the doctrines of repentance, baptism , and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Williams — , newly called Counselors in the First Presidency. To President Williams He said:.

This is demonstrated again and again in the scriptures. When Father Lehi sought to explain his vision to his rebellious older sons and exhort them to keep the commandments of God, they fell into disputing over his words.
There are other important ingredients. The prophet Ammon gave this significant recipe: Why is it important to know the mysteries of God? Kimball, edited by Edward L. God reveals Himself and His eternal truths—the spiritual food that the scriptures call the bread of life and the living water—to those who seek, who serve, who keep His commandments, and who wait and listen in humility for His teaching.
Despite their essential and beneficial uses, the methods of study and reason are insufficient as ways of approaching God and understanding the doctrines of his gospel. We cannot come to know the things of God while rejecting or failing to use the indispensable method God has prescribed to learn these things. Only in this way can we obtain the spiritual illumination, nutrition, and power necessary to teach and transmit faith and testimony.
Gospel learning is usually initiated by study and reason, but so far as I can observe, intellectual methods, standing alone, are not effective in transmitting abiding faith and deep spirituality from one person to another or from one generation to another. The Book of Mormon contains many examples of this.
But the results are not the same. President Brigham Young —77 explained an important difference between a conversion based on intellectual grounds and a conversion based on a spiritual witness when he said: Brigham Young [], There are those whose intellectual approach to spiritual things has left them spiritually undernourished and vulnerable to doubts and misgivings.
Faust, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, has suggested how such persons can seek greater spirituality: Spiritual things, like conversion and testimony, come in large part by feelings—the enlightenment of the Spirit. Those who seek or are satisfied to stop with an intellectual conviction live in a spiritual habitation built upon the sand.
