Relationship to Heveanly Father

resisting sin

We must examine closely what our decisions are based on to be sure that Satan isn't deceiving us by disguising something evil. Having the Holy Ghost with us as all times will help us not to be fooled by his traps. Prepare the apple and the onion like a caramel apple on the sticks. Ask the students to pick which caramel...

Pondering - What purpose does it serve

Display a certain stereo gram for the class to look at. Wait until the majority of the students are able to see the picture. Do several if time permits.
