“Pastor Aiden Wilson Tozer, a renowned writer and valiant
Christian, wrote, ‘Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth.’ Wasn’t
this exactly what happened to the people of Nephi after the birth of Christ?
They began to be less astonished at a sign from heaven, disbelieving all they’d
heard and seen. Thus did Satan blind their eyes and lead them to believe the
doctrine of Christ was a foolish and vain thing. The Savior has established the
way for us to avoid falling into the trap of spiritual apathy. The Savior’s
invitation gives us a broader perspective, especially considering the complex
world in which we live: ‘Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the
meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.’ As we accept the
Savior’s invitation, we demonstrate our humility, our desire to be teachable,
and our hope to become more like Him.” – Elder Ulisses Soares
