Follow the Prophet

The Book of Mormon and Bible vividly describe what happens to those who reject the words of the living prophets:

The wicked men and women of the Earth mocked the prophet Noah for building an ark. They were destroyed by an all-consuming flood.

Wicked men and women mocked Noah. They were destroyed.

The Nephites rejected the prophet Mormon's admonition to humble themselves and follow the Lord. Their entire civilization collapsed.

The prophet Abinadi warned King Noah that he would suffer death if he chose to ignore his words. Noah was later burned at the stake after the manner in which he murdered Abinadi.

Thomas S. Monson

The Lord's prophet on the Earth today is Thomas S. Monson. When we follow his counsel, we are happy. When we disregard his counsel, we are miserable. We cannot find joy in sin.

We can find safety in the counsel of a modern prophet. God speaks to President Monson today. His guidance is tailored specifically for our needs.
