Receiving Guidance From Apostles and Prophets

Our world's morals are decaying with each passing day causing confusion for many, especially our younger generations.  For centuries what was considered "good" is now being condemned as being evil.  On the flip side that which was taught as being "evil" is now being hailed as good.  The world is in a great need to hear the words of Christ.  To know what he would advise us and teach us if he were with us today.

Well my friends you can know what He wants us to know.  How?  By listening to his living Apostles and Prophets.

Thomas S. Monson
President and Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so
forth. (Articles of Faith 1:6)  Christ chose Peter to lead of His Church.  He also chose 12 apostles to carry his work into the whole world.  This organization was intended to continue forward.  After the death of Judas the remaining apostles met and selected Matthias as a replacement. (see Acts 1:23-26)

 

If ever there was a time in history where heavenly guidance was needed the most, it has to be right now.  In the restored Church of Jesus Christ, we are led by apostles and prophets.  Each of them called as "special witnesses" of the Savior Jesus Christ.  (see Doctrine & Covenants 107:23).  They have the same charge as the apostles of old, to go into all the world to preach His gospel.  (see Mark 16:15)  

This weekend, October 1st and 2nd, we have the opportunity to hear from our modern day apostles and prophets during the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  To hear their words of council, hope and peace that the Lord wants us to know today.  We invite you to join us in watching and listening to what they have to say.  Here are the details for you:

Come, listen to a prophet's voice,
And hear the word of God,
And in the way of truth rejoice,
And sing for joy aloud.
We've found the way the prophets went
Who lived in days of yore.
Another prophet now is sent
This knowledge to restore.
LDS Hymnal #21
