Here's the correlation that will be drawn between
the items collected for physical survival and the FTSOY standards:
 |
Matches...One of the most
important decisions you will make in your life has to do with the person you
"match" up with in marriage. Proper dating is part of that preparation for a
temple marriage. Date only those who have high standards, who respect your standards and
in whose company you can maintain those high standards. Avoid going to those places that
would place temptation in your path. |
|
|
Clothing - Not only does
clothing provide protection from the elements but it also sends messages about you to
others. Dress in such a way as to bring out the best in yourself and those around
you. Immodest clothing includes tight fitting or revealing clothes, off-the-shoulder or
low-cut clothing, short shorts, and extremes in clothing. We show respect for the Lord in
the way we dress |
|
|
Popcorn...Being a good friend
and surrounding yourself with good friends can bring you great happiness as you strengthen
and encourage one another. Just like this popcorn that can be popped and enjoyed now or
planted and harvested later, the friends you have today are lots of fun, but think about
how much joy you could have in your life if you share the gospel with your non-member
friends and plant seeds that can allow them to enjoy what you're enjoying tonight! |
|
|
Aspirin...Don't give yourself
a headache trying to remember to WHOM you've said WHAT! Be honest with yourself and
others, including the Lord. Honesty brings you peace and self-respect. Being honest
includes having the courage to do what you know to be right. |
|
|
Candle...Just as a candle in
the darkness is a comfort and strength to those who seek it's light, the way you speak and
the words you use can be a way to build and uplift those around you. Profane, vulgar, or
crude language and inappropriate or off-color jokes are offensive to the Lord. Set a
positive example for your friends and others by using clean language to express your
feelings. |
|
|
Whistle...Remember that
whatever you read, listen to or watch makes an impression on you. Blow the whistle on
negative media influences in your life! Don't attend or participate in any form of
entertainment, including concerts, movies and videocassettes, that is vulgar, immoral,
inappropriate, suggestive or pornographic in any way. Don't be afraid to walk out of a
movie, turn off the television, or change the radio or rid yourself of books or magazines
that do not meet your Heavenly Father's standards. |
|
|
Granola Bar...The Lord has
commanded that you keep your body, mind and spirit healthy. When you observe the Word of
Wisdom and other good health practices, you remain free and have control over your life.
You gain the blessings of an undefiled body, an alert mind, and the ability to receive
help and support from your Heavenly Father through the Holy Ghost. |
|
|
Hymnbook...Music can help you
draw closer to your Heavenly Father. Consider your listening habits thoughtfully and
prayerfully. Shun music that is spiritually harmful! Don't listen to music that promotes
Satanism, encourages immorality, uses foul and offensive language or drives away the
Spirit. |
|
|
Water...Just as pure water
will sustain physical life, the Lord requires self-control and sexual purity before
marriage as well as full fidelity after marriage to sustain spiritual strength. The Lord
specifically forbids certain behaviors, including all sexual relations before marriage,
petting, homosexuality, rape, incest, masturbation or preoccupation with sex in thought,
speech, or action. The scriptures tell us that, "they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:21) |
|
|
Tent...If you were exposed to
the elements, a tent would provide protection. Likewise the Lord has given the Sabbath Day
as protection for our spirits and our bodies. It is a day of rest from our labors and a
day to worship the Lord, strengthen family relationships, help others and draw close to
the Lord. The Sabbath is not a holiday. You should avoid seeking entertainment or spending
money on this day. Also try to choose a job that doesn't require you to work on Sunday.
Both your body and your spirit need this day of rest! |
|
|
Comforter...When you were
confirmed a member of the Church, you received the right to the companionship of the Holy
Ghost...also known as "the Comforter." He can help you make good choices. When
challenged or tempted, you do not need to feel alone. The Holy Ghost will help you know
right from wrong. |
|
|
Soap...Some people knowingly
break God's commandments. They plan to repent before they go on a mission or before they
go to the temple. It is better not to commit the sin. Some sins, such as sexual sins, are
so serious that they can put your membership in the Church and your eternal life at risk.
Where past choices have already led to serious sin, repentance is the way back. Like soap
that cleanses your body, repentance cleanses your spirit. The miracle of forgiveness is
real, and true repentance is accepted by the Lord! If you have sinned, the sooner you
begin to make your way back, the sooner you will find the sweet peace and joy that come
with the miracle of forgiveness. |
|
|
Lifesavers...One way you can
show your love to others is through service. Be a lifesaver to another by loving them
serving them, and being a light showing them the Lord's way. The Lord said, "By this
shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one to another." (John
13:35) You can render service more effectively if you maintain high standards. Always take
a stand for the Lord's way. He has promised to help you as you live gospel standards. |
