Ether 7
15 And it came to pass that Noah rebelled against Shule, the king, and also his father Corihor, and drew away Cohor his brother, and also all his brethren and many of the people.
16 And he gave battle unto Shule, the king, in which he did obtain the land of their afirst inheritance; and he became a king over that part of the land.
Following the righteous, prosperous reign of Orihah, later Jaredite kingdoms are fraught with power struggles. This is among family. It is so sad to me. It is no mystery prophets rise up to warn against sin. At last Shule reigns well and allows the prophets to preach and convert the people who then live prosperously.
Personal Peace: The Reward of Righteousness - Quentin L. Cook
The Church is a refuge where followers of Christ attain peace. Some young people in the world say they are spiritual but not religious. Feeling spiritual is a good first step. However, it is in the Church that we are fellowshipped, taught, and nourished by the good word of God. More importantly, it is priesthood authority in the Church that provides for sacred ordinances and covenants that bind families together and qualify each of us to return to God the Father and Jesus Christ in the celestial kingdom. These ordinances bring peace because they are covenants with the Lord.This reminds me of how my friend Katie explained her beliefs to me.
