Complaining, the "why" not understood
an opinion was stated, another answered to retract
"It is in the height of arrogance
to think we know more than God, in fact"
Who are we to correct a prophet
He can see what lies ahead God is molding us
preparing us, teaching us what we need
listen above the noise. On higher ground, trust
above the many voices you daily hear
go to the temple and feel holiness near
make your home a place to daily connect
where the spirit can be felt to direct
for our spiritual survival
we must stand on holier ground
learn the path of revelation
soaking in the spirit to be found
let light and truth guide each pursuit
complain less and pray more for our leaders
stand on holy ground to regroup
for Christ's peace and joy, urgently be eager
above the many voices you daily hear
go oft to the temple and feel holiness near
make your home a place to daily connect
where the spirit can be felt to direct
and hear Him
follow Him
There are some people who think our church leaders have gone soft, should change their approach to teaching, or what they are teaching, or how they are handling certain social issues, or that they are making too many changes— It reminds me of an experience we had in our ward Sunday School class several years ago. A comment was made that church leaders were wrong about how they were handling a certain issue. Someone responded with “It is the height of arrogance to think that we know more than God.” I have never forgotten those words. Who are we to correct the prophet? Or the apostles? Who are we to say the church isn’t handling things the way they should be? Who are we to question how they are teaching, or what they are teaching? Are we are trying to mold the church into what WE think it should be, rather than align ourselves with the brethren? With Jesus Christ? We either believe that Jesus Christ stands at the head of this church, and leads it by directing His apostles and prophets, or we do not. It can’t be both.read the rest in X
