Just think, there are people walking around this world who don\u2019t know that the sun, which gives light, is called after the Son, who is light. There are people, specifically women, who don\u2019t realize that their faith in Jesus Christ is power, real power to perform mighty works in the name of their Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">What if we were to experience what George Bailey did in It\u2019s a Wonderful Life, and live life without the priesthood in our lives? Sometimes that\u2019s the only way people learn, to recognize what they\u2019ve lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/general-conference\/1982\/04?lang=eng\">Priesthood session of the April 1982 conference<\/a>, Elder Bruce R. McConkie spoke on The Doctrine of the Priesthood, and Marion G. Romney spoke on Priesthood. Both talks testified of real power that emanates from <g class=\"gr_ gr_12 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"12\" data-gr-id=\"12\">faithful<\/g> living of the gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">Members of the church, today, are stumbling because President Nelson is changing how we do things at church. But what do church schedules have to do with our doctrine? In fact, what does that <g class=\"gr_ gr_18 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling\" id=\"18\" data-gr-id=\"18\">clarify<\/g> to us about our doctrine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">The doctrine of the priesthood is the doctrine, or gospel, of Jesus Christ, because He is the priesthood and the gospel. All light, knowledge, and power come through Him. He has offered us a small portion of His priesthood to live on this planet if we recognize Him and ask for His power to be upon us. As Elder McConkie puts it, \u201cThe doctrine of the priesthood is known only by personal revelation \u2026 Priesthood is power like none other on earth or in heaven. It is the very power of God himself \u2026 It is the power of faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\"><g class=\"gr_ gr_7 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"7\" data-gr-id=\"7\">Church<\/g>&nbsp;programs, traditions <g class=\"gr_ gr_41 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"41\" data-gr-id=\"41\">and<\/g> procedures can change all they want, and they will, but the doctrine of Jesus Christ\u2019s gospel never changes. The gospel offers us the ability to spiritually connect with our Savior, learn and obey His will, and return to stay in our Heavenly Father\u2019s presence. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">Remember the city of Enoch? How much change did that city have to go through to be translated? Elder McConkie says, \u201cthey were translated because they had faith and exercised the power of the priesthood.\u201d Today, Pres. Nelson is asking us to exercise our faith and power to gather the House of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">Something we all can do is magnify our callings, according to both McConkie and Romney. We automatically think of our church callings, but there are other more important callings. Think of our callings as spouses, parents, individuals, and as missionaries. These callings are often neglected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">We never have to fear about any changes because it isn\u2019t the doctrine that is changing. Here is Elder McConkie\u2019s final testimony of what our doctrine is that we can always rely on while we undergo changes in preparation for the Lord\u2019s coming:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThis doctrine is that God our Father is <g class=\"gr_ gr_16 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-del replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"16\" data-gr-id=\"16\">a glorified<\/g>, a perfected, and an exalted being who has all might, all power, and all dominion, who knows all things and is infinite in all his attributes, and who lives in the family unit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">This is what we get to receive for ourselves if we hold onto the power of faith which we all have received at our baptism, our moment of commitment to the Lord&#8217;s gospel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am grateful to know about the priesthood, through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
