It has been more than a week, and I'm not faced with any burning questions, but this seems related to things that are happening.
Which does the Lord come down harder on?
Rich people who don't share what they have?
Is what you have really not enough?
Poor people who are greedy for things they don't have?
Is what you have really not enough?
People who think they know more than God?
Is what you are doing with what you have pleasing to God?
Are these things related?
Is material success really all that meaningful?
What do you think?
Should you really take pride in success?
What should we do, if neither poverty nor riches save us?
Which is more important, looking cool or really helping other people? Can you do both? Should you go out of your way to try to both?
The scriptures I'm seeing as related here are
Doctrine and Covenants 56: ca v 14-17
and Jacob 2: ca 13-21.
Oh, and Luke 6: ca 24-38.
And it's worth reading before and after, of course.
平凡の信者が語るハンズオンのモルモン教
("Mormonism" is a nickname, and a convenient misnomer.)
(「モルモン教」とはあだ名で便利な誤称です。)
(What I try to take up here is Christianity as taught in the Bible and the Book of Mormon.)
(ここで私が取り上げているつもりは、聖書及びモルモン書に記されているキリスト教です。)

末日聖徒イエス・キリスト教会の信者のただのもう一人で、個人的に意見を風に当てつつです。
I am just another member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints airing my personal opinions.
This "hands-on" is in the form of what we call a personal testimony.
この「ハンズオン」は、個人の証という形に作って行きます。
My personal ideas and interpretations.
個人の発想と解釈です。
I hope it's useful. If not, I hope you'll forgive me for wasting your time.
お役立つ物ならば、うれしく存じます。そうでなければ、あなたの時間を無駄に費やしてもらってしまって、申し訳ございません。

Above all, don't take my word for the things I write. Look the scriptures up yourself. Your opinion of them is far more important to you than mine.
何よりもここに書いているものそのままだと思わないでください。参考の聖句を是非調べて読んでください。私の意見よりはあなたに対して価値があるのはあなたの意見です。
