The countdown to the Mormons biannual General Conference has begun. In a couple of days Mormons everywhere will be gathered around their TV’s in anticipation and awe of hearing from their current prophet and church leaders. On The Mormon Channel’s Facebook page there’s a quote by Quentin L. Cook which reads –
“We may not avoid every storm of life, but following the counsel of living prophets will help us ride out the storm.”
As a former Mormon and follower of Jesus Christ I can’t help but feel sad by this statement, and to be honest a little irritated. I just want to scream “WHAT ABOUT JESUS?” doesn’t His “counsel” mean anything to them?
As born again believers we know that once we’ve repented, and put our trust in Jesus alone the Holy Spirit takes up “permanent residents” in our hearts. We then have direct communication with the Father and Son, and through the Holy Spirit we can rely on their counsel when times get rough.
