Today we continue our study of the cyclical process of pride amongst the Nephites. We consider how this cycle was avoidable and we reflect on the blessings of prosperity. 

Boyd K Packer: “There are those within the Church who are disturbed when changes are made with which they disagree or when changes they propose are not made. They point to these as evidence that the leaders are not inspired...

Two things characterize them: they are always irritated by the word obedience, and always they question revelation. It has always been so. Helaman described those who ‘began to disbelieve in the spirit of prophecy and in the spirit of revelation; and the judgments of God did stare them in the face’ (Helaman 4:23). ‘They were left in their own strength’ (4:13), and ‘the Spirit of the Lord did no more preserve them; yea, it had withdrawn from them(4:24).'”
