Honoring the Priesthood Keys Restored through Joseph Smith...
Just a few highlights:1. Preisthood keys are the power and authority to direct the Lord's work on the earth
2. The Lord has sent holy messengers from His presence to restore the keys of the priesthood.
3. The President of the Church holds the keys over all the Church
4. We should honor those to whom the President of the Church has delegated keys of authority.
5. The united voice of those who hold the keys of the kingdom will always guide us where the Lord
wants us to be.
This is such a great lesson..On page 151 of your lessons from Presidents of the Church.
Also there is a GREAT article in the June Ensign about the Priesthood!! It written by Sister Linda K. Burton, Relief Society General President. Please read it. It is an amazing article and explains just how the priesthood benefits all of us. Here are just a few quotes:
*Elder Dallin H. Oaks--"Men are not the priesthood--but the priesthood is the means whereby the Lord acts through men to save souls. To me, she says, that is a wake-up call as well as an invitation to all of us to study, ponder, and come to better understand the priesthood.
*Elder Robert D. Hales--Can you imagine how dark and empty morality would be if there were no priesthood? If the power of the priesthood were not upon the earth, the adversary would have freedom to roam and reign without restraint. There would be no gift of the Holy Ghost to direct and enlighten us, no prophets to speak in the name of the Lord; no temples where we could make sacred, eternal covenants; no authority to bless or baptize, to heal or comfort... There would be no light, no hope---only darkness. WOW--something to think about.
READ IT!! Page 36...Great insight into understanding the priesthood better!!
