"The adversary is delighted when we act like sightseers, meaning those who are hearers rather than doers of the word (see James 1:22 ), or shoppers, meaning those preoccupied with the vain things of this world that suffocate our spirits. Satan baits us with perishable pleasures and preoccupations-our bank accounts, our wardrobes, even our waistlines-for he knows that where our treasure is, there will our hearts be also (see Matt. 6:21 ). Unfortunately, it is easy to let the blinding glare of the adversary's enticements distract us from the light of Christ."- Sheri L. Dew, “We Are Women of God,” Ensign, Nov 1999, 97
