As I’m reading Helaman, I’ve just been thinking about what the main factor is for people to fall away. Earlier in the book it was internal contention in a city. Then it was trusting in their own arm or other’s instead of trusting in God. And now (chapter 6) it’s setting your heart on riches.
All of these things have one thing in common: putting something before God. I think the biggest factor to someone spiritual failure is whatever is going to catch them up. Whatever Satan knows will be hardest for them. He tried them at lots of different levels.
