“And if ye seek the riches which it is the will of the Father to give unto you, ye shall be the richest of all people, for ye shall have the riches of eternity; and it must needs be that the riches of the earth are mine to give; but beware of pride, lest ye become as the Nephites of old.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY Ezra Taft Benson |
“Pride is characterized by ‘What do I want out of life?’ rather than by ‘What would God have me do with my life?’ It is self-will as opposed to God’s will. It is the fear of man over the fear of God.
“Humility responds to God’s will —to the fear of His judgments and to the needs of those around us. To the proud, the applause of the world rings in their ears; to the humble, the applause of heaven warms their hearts” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 229).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY March 24 |
|
1832 - While staying at the John Johnson farm in Hiram, Ohio, fifty men led by Symonds Ryder, a disaffected member of the Church, pull Joseph Smith from his bed and tar and feather him. They also drag Sidney Rigdon by his heels along the frozen ground, severely injuring his head. Joseph and Emma’s eleven-month-old adopted son, Joseph, dies a few days later as a result of the exposure during the mobbing.

When Jesus, before parting from the Nephites, asked his disciples what they desired of him after he went to the Father, nine asked to come to him in his kingdom at a good old age when their labors on the earth were over (3 Nephi 28:1–2). Three, on the other hand, were reluctant to express their desire.
