Whenever the Lord’s <strong>Church</strong><br />
has been established, the<br />
Lord has called prophets and<br />
apostles. <strong>The</strong>ir sure witness <strong>of</strong> the<br />
living <strong>Christ</strong> is one <strong>of</strong> the greatest<br />
blessings to the <strong>Church</strong> and to<br />
the world.<br />
Along with the scriptures and<br />
the gift <strong>of</strong> the Holy Ghost, the<br />
First Presidency and the Quorum<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Twelve Apostles make<br />
known the Lord’s specific concerns<br />
for us and what we need to do.<br />
We have the responsibility to<br />
listen and to follow, and we<br />
have a promise that blessings will<br />
come as we believe and act on<br />
the prophets’ words.<br />
If we will be attentive to the<br />
prophets’ words, we will forever<br />
remain safely on the path leading<br />
to the tree <strong>of</strong> life.<br />
From an address given at Brigham Young University on <strong>March</strong> 4, 2007.<br />
