“Knowing by revelation that there is a living prophet on the
earth changes everything. It causes one to be uninterested in the debate about
when is a prophet speaking as a prophet or whether one is ever justified in
selective rejection of prophetic counsel. Such revealed knowledge invites one
to trust the counsel of a living prophet, even if we do not fully understand
it. After all, a perfect and loving Father in Heaven has chosen the pattern of
revealing truth to His children through a prophet, someone who never sought
such a sacred calling and who has no need of our help to be aware of his own
imperfections. A prophet is someone God has personally prepared, called,
corrected, inspired, rebuked, sanctified, and sustained. That is why we are
never spiritually at risk in following prophetic counsel.” – Elder Allen D.
