(Amy Stock) We did our Resisting Sin lesson today. Here is what we used. We focused on the traps and how to avoid the traps by filling your time with the Savior and the Holy Ghost.  So our YW President came up with a cute acronym for TRAP.

To
Resist
Always
Pray

I found a talk called "Increase in Faith" by Patricia Pinegar when she was in the Young Women General Presidency in 1994.  I just quoted the beginning. I made a handout with the TRAP acronym and a picture of a mousetrap and a young girl praying plus these scriptures... This scripture is in the lesson manual... "Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always, lest ye be tempted by the devil, and ye be led away captive by him." 3 Nephi 18:15.  And this scripture is a scripture mastery... Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work. D&C 10:5

(Credit Unknown) Two talks about resisting sin ... both about snakes ... buy some cool rubber snakes at the store and put them with a quote for a handout David E. Sorensen, "You Can't Pet a Rattlesnake," Ensign, May 2001, 41

Gordon B. Hinckley, "Your Greatest Challenge, Mother," Ensign, Nov. 2000, 97 ...I have never forgotten a story that Elder Robert Harbertson told at this Tabernacle pulpit. He spoke of an Indian boy who climbed a high mountain. It was cold up there. At his feet was a snake, a rattlesnake. The snake was cold and pleaded with the young man to pick it up and take it down where it was warmer.  The Indian boy listened to the enticings of the serpent. He gave in. He gathered it up into his arms and covered it with his shirt. He carried it down the mountain to where it was warm. He gently put it on the grass. When the snake was warm it raised its head and struck the boy with its poisonous fangs.  The boy cursed at the snake for striking him as an answer to his kindness. The snake replied, "You knew what I was when you picked me up" ("Restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood," Ensign, July 1989, 77).  Warn your girls against those with poisonous fangs who will entice them, seduce them with easy talk, then injure and possibly destroy them.



A lesson with makeup - We aren't perfect.  We are going to sin.  How to teach about the atonement.
