Tables Turned
The crack of overturning tables shatters the complacency of corrupt commerce. Jesus storms through the temple courts with righteous fury, driving out those who have turned his Father's house into a marketplace. Coins scatter, doves fly free, and religious leaders rage as their profitable system crumbles. More than furniture is overturned this day—an entire corrupt establishment is exposed.
You will learn that you increase your burdens and decrease the likelihood of success by taking yourself too seriously. Nothing can take precedence over the work of your status sphere -- this world or the next.
In the next world you will be asked to give an account of the endowments and stewardships of this world. Whether inherent talents are few or many, a just and merciful reckoning must be faced. If endowments are used only in selfish pursuits and no thought is bestowed upon the higher duty of obtaining increased yield of the fruits of the spirit, as they are manifested in the ever-expanding service of men and the worship of God, such selfish stewards must accept the consequences of their deliberate choosing.

Pay close attention to today's Thought Gem We are exceedingly close to that point where retrogression looms ahead.
The slowness of evolution, of human cultural progress, testifies to the effectiveness of that brake — material inertia — which so efficiently operates to retard dangerous velocities of progress. Thus does time itself cushion and distribute the otherwise lethal results of premature escape from the next-encompassing barriers to human action. For when culture advances overfast, when material achievement outruns the evolution of worship-wisdom, then does civilization contain within itself the seeds of retrogression; and unless buttressed by the swift augmentation of experiential wisdom, such human societies will recede from high but premature levels of attainment, and the “dark ages” of the interregnum of wisdom will bear witness to the inexorable restoration of the imbalance between self-liberty and self-control. 118:8.6

Recognition - belief - effectiveness
"The kingdom of heaven consists in these three essentials: first, recognition of the fact of the sovereignty of God; second, belief in the truth of sonship with God; and third, faith in the effectiveness of the supreme human desire to do the will of God -- to be like God. And this is the good news of the gospel: that by faith every mortal may have all these essentials of salvation."140:10.9

Genuine Love
Without the genuine love of a home, no child can achieve the full development of normal character. Character is something more than mere mind and morals. 160:2.6
