Romans 14-16, Strengthening Your Weakest Link
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/romans-14-16-strengthening-your-weakest-link/ ELDER DALLIN H. OAKS: “As a General Authority, it is my responsibility to preach general principles. When I do, I don’t try to define all the exceptions. There are exceptions to some rules.

Speaking Negatively about others or Being Judgemental
Talk about how when we only focus on the negative aspects of a person that is all we see, we can’t see the good things about them. This is why it is dangerous to talk negatively about a person to others. This might form a wrongful negative opinion of that person in the minds of others. Also you could talk about not judging others before you know all the facts…

What matters is what’s inside
Here’s an an awesome object lesson that I use with my kids at camp – all you need is a can of fruit or vegetables, and take the label off…add a dent or two also. It’s amazing what and how much the younger ones can come up with! Put the can in the middle of the group and let the group examine it. Ask them to describe the can. Some…
