PROVO — LDS Church President
Thomas S. Monson joined elected officials, business leaders and prominent Utah
County residents Friday to dedicate and celebrate the Zions Bank Financial
Center.
"May it ever be a bright
and shining star in the business community of Provo, and may its influence
extend far and wide," President Monson said of the new headquarters for
Zions Bancorp's central Utah region.
In addition to offering a
dedicatory prayer, President Monson told those in attendance about
some of his boyhood experiences in Utah County and also reaffirmed The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' confidence in the bank.
"You can rest assured that this church
doesn't put its investments and its confidence in anything that isn't stable, honorable and (having) a record of performance and integrity," he said.
The building at 180 N.
University Ave. rises eight stories and will house restaurants, shops and
businesses, as well as the bank and its offices. The bank already is open for
business.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah,
Gov. Gary Herbert and Provo Mayor John Curtis also spoke at the celebration.

Churches built up for gain:
23 For the time speedily
shall come that all churches which are built up to get gain, and all those who
are built up to get power over the flesh, and those who are built up to become
popular in the eyes of the world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and
the things of the world, and to do all manner of iniquity; yea, in fine, all
those who belong to the kingdom of the devil are they who need fear, and
tremble, and quake; they are those who must be brought low in the dust; they
are those who must be consumed as stubble; and this is according to the words
of the prophet.
1st Nephi 22:23
MONEY MASTERS
The
world economy is based on the sand foundation of usury, which was considered a sin and tool of covert warfare for thousands of years.
The
rich rules over the poor,
And
the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7
The Old Testament "also classes the usurer with
the shedder of blood, the defiler of his neighbor's wife, the oppressor of the
poor, the spoiler by violence, the violator of the pledge, the idolater.”
Indeed, the only time the Prince of Peace became violent is when he cleansed the temple of the money changers.
Indeed, the only time the Prince of Peace became violent is when he cleansed the temple of the money changers.
… Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found
those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. And making a whip of
cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he
poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.
Modern churches and synagogues remain silent in the face of this
great evil.
