[MUSIC PLAYING] During the Church's general conference of April 1989, President Ezra Taft Benson was too weak to stand at the pulpit in the Tabernacle on Temple Square. At President Benson's request, President Gordon Hinckley, then of the First Presidency, delivered to the world Ezra Taft Benson's prophetic and timeless message on the sin of pride. Most of us think of pride as self-centeredness, conceit, boastfulness, arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart or core is still missing. The central feature of pride is enmity-- enmity toward God and enmity toward our fellow man. Enmity means hatred toward, hostility to, or a state of opposition. It is the power by which Satan wishes to reign over us. Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God's. When we direct our pride toward God, it is in the spirit of my will and not Thine be done. The antidote for pride is humility, meekness, submissiveness. It is the broken heart and contrite spirit. God will have a humble people. We can either choose to be humble or we can be compelled to be humble. Alma said, "Blessed are they who humble themselves without being compelled to be humble." Let us choose to be humble. Pride is the great stumbling block of Zion. I repeat, pride is the great stumbling block of Zion.
