Pace<\/a> entitled, \u201cFollow the Prophet,\u201d which I\u2019d like to talk about this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He focuses on three different groups of critics: 1) nonmembers, 2) former members, and 3) current members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Even though his talk was given a while ago, back in 1989, we continue to see similar reactions. Nonmembers tease and criticize us in fairly harmless ways. Former members are a little more aggressive. They simply can\u2019t leave the church alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The last group can, unfortunately, be the most harmful. As he puts it, \u201cThe danger lies not in what may come from a member critic, but in the chance that we might become one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We must always be on our guard of our critical feelings of how the church is run, or rather how imperfect people attempt to perform their duties. Hurt feelings and harsh opinions abound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Several years ago, as I taught our Gospel Doctrine class, there was an older gentleman who consistently played devil\u2019s advocate week after week. It was a nuisance, but worse, there was no point in it other than simply driving the spirit away. And it frustrated me because I wanted to share the spirit I had felt as I prepared for class. Instead of yelling at him and demanding him to stop wrecking my lesson, I had to grin and bear it \u2026 and not get my feelings hurt. Ugh! It wasn\u2019t easy but thank goodness callings don\u2019t last forever. And thank goodness he didn\u2019t rattle my testimony, or the testimony I left the class with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Bishop Pace calls some of these actions \u201cinappropriate intellectualism.\u201d This idea \u201csometimes leads one to testify that he knows the gospel is true but believes the Brethren are just a little out of touch.\u201d There are some people who simply can\u2019t seem to help question the gospel, or the Brethren.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I can testify that the Brethren are not out of touch. They see the evil that is around all of us. President Hinckley read several national newspapers every single morning while he was alive. He knew what was \u201cout there.\u201d And we&#8217;re all amazed at how savvy Pres. Nelson is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Each of our prophets have been called of God to lead the work of the church for Jesus Christ. They don\u2019t cave to \u201cpublic opinion,\u201d but obey what the Lord tells them. Often\u2014mostly\u2014the two are not the same. We are all called to make a choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Who are we going to follow? For those who struggle with some of the church\u2019s stand on social issues, are we going to follow \u201cpublic opinion,\u201d or are we going to stand by the prophet and watch how, in just a few years, we can all see what a grave condition that public opinion has become? It\u2019s happened before many times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Strong and faithful members of the church have lost their testimonies. In fact, it happens every day. Bishop Pace warns to not let it happen to us. If we believe the prophet is truly the mouthpiece of God, then we are safe in following him, even when it is opposite from what everyone else seems to be thinking. Follow the prophet, he knows the way.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, while writing for Mormon Women Stand (they\u2019ve changed their name to Latter-day Saint Women Stand), I created a meme that corresponds with a talk given by Glenn L.
