Follow The Prophet

There will always be arguments when it comes to religion, unfortunately. There are so many beliefs throughout the world. All religions have truth and most, those truly centered in Christ, can bring you closer to God. Many people are familiar with the early beliefs of the LDS church and have heard of and even read parts of The Book of Mormon. What's one main factor that sets the LDS Church apart from other Christian religions? Individual and collective modern-day revelation. Our Heavenly Father, God, knew this mortal life would be hard. He knew He couldn't walk the Earth with us and that Jesus Christ, His Son, could only do so for a short time. We are here to learn and grow and prove ourselves to Him that we will do everything we can to follow His commandments. This ensures we will live with Him forever as families. Just as parents have rules and obligations for respecting and living in their homes, our Heavenly Father has rules (commandments) we must follow to be worthy of His eternal home. Because we don't have Him here, He blessed us with prophets who converse with Him and who do walk the Earth. They speak to us regularly in General Conferences as well as on LDS.org, LDS Magazines and many other ways. These men are called of God and help us to know all things Heavenly Father wants us to know as a church. As we listen and obey their teachings, we develop a stronger relationship with our Heavenly Father and will experience great blessings! As individuals, we can receive our own personal revelation. The Holy Ghost was sent after Christ was resurrected and left the Earth. Jesus tells His disciples they will not be left alone, that He will send a comforter to show all things and bring all things to [their] remembrance. This same Holy Ghost, comforter, will do the same for us today so we might know what God wants each of us to know. We can be assured Heavenly Father will reveal those things to us that are the most important for each of us!
