Scripture to Memorize

• And my father dwelt in a tent
• Why is that significant?

King Benjamin

• Mosiah 26
• 6 And they pitched their tents round about the
  temple, every man having his tent with the door
  thereof towards the temple

Prophet Joseph Smith

• You must make yourselves acquainted with
  those men who like Daniel who
  pray three times a day toward the House of the
  Lord

President Kimball When you look in the dictionary
for the most important word, do you know what it
is? It could be remember. Because all of you have
made covenants-you know what to do and you know
how to do it-our greatest need is to remember.
Remember is the word. Remember is the program."

What, then, is the significance of

• Genesis 1312
• Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot
  dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched
  his tent toward Sodom
• How do families today sometimes pitch their tents
  towards spiritual sodom?

8
Teaching our children to point the tents in the
right direction can be a challenge

Genesis 19Blessings of the JST

• Old Testament
• 4 But before Lot and the visitors lay down, the
  men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed
  the house round
• 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him,
  Where are the men which came in to thee this
  night? bring them out unto us, that we may know
  them.
• 6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and
  shut the door after him,
• 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so
  wickedly.
• 8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not
  known man let me, I pray you, bring them out
  unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your
  eyes only unto these men do nothing for
  therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
• 9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again,
  This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will
  needs be a judge now will we deal worse with
  thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon
  the man, even Lot, and came near to break the
  door.

• Joseph Smith Translation
• 9 And they said unto him, Stand back. And they
  were angry with him.
• 10 And they said among themselves, This one man
  came in to sojourn among us, and he will needs
  now make himself to be a judge now we will deal
  worse with him than with them.
• 11 Wherefore they said unto the man, We will have
  the men, and thy daughters also and we will do
  with them as seemeth us good.
• 13 And Lot said, Behold now, I have two daughters
  which have not known man let me, I pray you,
  plead with my brethren that I may not bring them
  out unto you and ye shall not do unto them as
  seemeth good in your eyes
• 14 For God will not justify his servant in this
  thing

Just a reminder

• 'Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister
  Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of
  idleness was in her and in her daughters,
• neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor
  and needy. And they were haughty, and committed
  abomination before me therefore I took them away
  as I saw good' (Ezekiel 1649-50)

11
Genesis 1915-26

• 15 And when the morning arose, then the
  angels hastened
  Lot, saying, Arise, take
  thy wife, and thy two
  daughters, which are
  here lest thou be consumed in the
  iniquity of the city.
• 17 And it came to pass, when they had brought
  them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy
  life look not behind thee, neither stay thou in
  all the plain escape to the mountain, lest thou
  be consumed.
• 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon
  Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of
  heaven
• 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the
  plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and
  that which grew upon the ground.
• 26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and
  she became a pillar of salt.

12
President Thomas Monson

• The Sunday School teacher was describing
  how Lot's wife looked back and turned
  into a pillar of salt. Little Johnny was
  much interested.
• My mother looked back once while she was
  driving," he explained, "and she turned into a
  telephone pole!"

13
Elder Neal Maxwell

• "Many today are as indecisive about the
  evils emerging around usare as reluctant to
  renounce fully a wrong way of lifeas was
  Lot's wife.
• Perhaps in this respect,our present
  parallels are most poignant and
  disturbing.
• It was Jesus himself who said, 'Remember Lot's
  wife.' Indeed we shouldand remember too all that
  the Savior implied with those three powerful
  words.
• While it was tragic for Lot's wife to look back,
  for our generation a hard look back at Sodom
  could save us from impending tragedies!"

Question

• What should we remember about Lots wife?

15
Improvement Era- 1935

• REGRET-another bad bed-fellow, and he
  stays with us all day if we will let
  him. Oh! if it were
  only possible to put him
  in an iron chest and sink him in the sea.
• Anyone can have regrets, but it takes character
  to forget the unpleasant and ugly. Regrets are
  only of value in a lesson learned, not what has
  happened, but what it has done to the individual.
  We are all a little bit delinquent, have made
  mistakes, but that should bring us closer
  together.
• Understanding should come because we are all so
  human. Failures may become successes. Look up and
  forget the past. Go on to the new day. Remember
  Lot's wife
