The Sting of the Scorpion

A young boy's encounter with a scorpion in the Arabian desert can teach us a lot about what we must do to avoid and overcome the venomous sting of sin.

I'm not a mormon but as a Christian I really like this message

[clairebernard]

I am a mormon. I always have been and I always will. I know the church's teachings to be true. I always follow them. They make my life better. I am a Mormon and I think everyone should be.

Elder Kearon was the stake president in my first area on my mission. What a great man, and a great message.

[rodrigo]

Today I spent the whole afternoon and the evening with the missionaries, I learnt that we prefer learning by our own experiences than just being obedient and avoid the painful consequences of our choices.

[clairekeller]

I understand where you are coming from, but I believe that this message is universal. I understand why you might not call it a sin, but this portrays the importance of obedience to your parents that goes a long way.

I think we have all at one time or another have been "stung by scorpions" I know I have thousands if not millions of times.  That I why I need my Savior.  Only through Him can we be healed.

[downendbishop]

Great man, and a great lesion taught. I know that Christ can heal our wounds.

[lornalynjayme]

Always remember, obedience gives blessings but exact obedience gives miracles

[sarahmathews]

Yes. Heavenly Father loves all his children.

[hyperklathos]

God love everyone even those who have gone astray

[kylerantz]

we need to be obedient no matter the situation

[Sophiecat]

We must never forget the God has given us 10 commandments to follow. To protect us and to guide us to live happily, imortal, and for eternity with our Father.
