Ep 126: Pride In the Church

Learn, Liken, and Lift with Carrie

Alma 4

After the battle with the Amilicites, the Nephites humbled themselves and they grieved for the loss of their loved ones and their sustenance that was trampled down by the armies. Yet, they knew their mourning was because of their abominations and they chose to face up to their errors and be "awakened to a remembrance of their duty."

However, soon, because of their prosperity, pride grew in the church and because of it, Alma would give up the Chief Judge seat in order to spend all of his time combating pride and inequality.

How does pride show up in us? How does prosperity grow that pride? If prosperity leads to pride, why DOES God choose to bless us with abundance and how does it further His work?
