Comments on: Temple Attendence Helps Avoid Poverty http://mormonbudget.com/2009/03/temple-attendence-helps-avoid-poverty/ "And the Lord did prosper them exceedingly in the land" Sat, 21 Jan 2012 01:09:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Eric Poulin http://mormonbudget.com/2009/03/temple-attendence-helps-avoid-poverty/comment-page-1/#comment-47 Eric Poulin Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:57:43 +0000 http://mormonbudget.com/?p=359#comment-47 I hadn't heard of that book. I found a partial copy on Google Books. It looks like an interesting read; a little too much Bob Proctor and not enough meat for my liking, but definitely has some good points. Thanks for pointing it out to me. Gods Law of Finance on m blogroll is also putting together a book on this idealogy, but with a different approach - more like the book you've suggested. Once I get through my commentary on 1st and 2nd Nephi, I'll also try to put all of these blog posts together in some sensible way and see if a book makes sense... "Nephi - Financial Planner" -- we'll see :) I hadn’t heard of that book. I found a partial copy on Google Books.

Have you read "Hidden Treasures" by Leslie Householder? I like the way she puts scriptures (yes, LDS scripture) with practical finances. I'm going to blogroll you. :) Well I thought it was an excellent post, and I agree. Have you read “Hidden Treasures” by Leslie Householder?

At any rate, the scriptures are clearly quoted and I am simply offering my thoughts on them. I think we are taking a narrow view of the scriptures if we look solely for spiritual things in them. There is practical advice to be had. Yes, all things are spiritual, but they have practical, temporal side effects. In this case, temple attendence... first you have to be worthy of temple attendence, then you have to sacrifice time and other things to go regularly. The side effects? Many spiritual things, but also temporal blessings. I know its been a blessing in my life both spiritual and temporal. I don't think its a bad thing to look for way to be wealthy. If your heart is not set upon those riches, but what good things you can do with them, I think God will want you to be wealthy. And what better place to learn how than from the scriptures.

Can't say I'm a fan of that... Is this a Mormon version of prosperity theology? Can’t say I’m a fan of that…
