Such a statement is found in the Book of Mormon, paraphrasing (I don't
have my scriptures at work), "Christ's believers will first seek after
Him, *then* for the riches of the world.  And WHY will they seek for
riches??  To help those in need.'  The problem is to not get totally
caught up in the seeking for riches (even if a good portion is used
for this purpose) that other things get neglected.
