It seems to be the biggest problem because when the disciples woke him up and even asked him a very bad question in a very bad way. They asked like this.... Dont you care that we ...read more

Looking For A Good Room

Contributed by Jon Lipka on Oct 14, 2012

Wealth holds us back from inheriting eternal life: but wealth is anything earthyl that we hold onto as valuable in opposition to things heavenly. We must melt down these idols and consecrate the gold to the temple.
