"In My Own Way", lesson about self-reliance

If you want to do something, don't say "some day". Do it TODAY. this is the church message I would like to share with you this week.

I like to look at the structure of the lesson as well as the content.

Here is our last lesson's recap:

  1. Being self-reliant (or independent) spiritually, in other words having your own testimony,having spiritual strength to face difficult problems, and help others in their times of need.
  2. Developing temporal self-reliance: prepare to take care of yourself and your family, being able to provide and help others who are in need.
  • importance of work
  • keeping a storage of food and other necessities
  • learning the principals of financial security
3. Caring for needy
4. Church welfare program

So here is a question for this week:
Why was the lesson set up in this order?

Why did spiritual self-reliance come first? did caring for needy come after talking about both spiritual and temporal self-reliance?Why was it important to talk about a welfare program?

Share your thoughts and have a great week!
