Prophets of God

Amos 3:7 is today's scripture mastery.  It teaches us a little about how God interacts with us here on earth:
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
As God is the same yesterday, as stated in Hebrews 13:8, He will continue to teach us through his prophets.  There are a lot of scriptures that reference what prophets do, and why they do it.  You can read each of these scriptures by reading the Topical Guide, under the heading "Prophets, Mission of"

Just as God called prophets anciently, such as Moses, or Noah, He has called prophets in our day.  The first of them in modern times was Joseph Smith.  It was through him that the gospel was restored.  It was through him that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized.  Since that time, there have been prophets and apostles on the earth.  They have been taught by Christ, and they teach us what Christ wants us to do in our day.  They call us to repentance when necessary, and they teach us of the Love of our Savior. 

The prophets and apostles teach us those things that the Lord wants us to know.  In fact, every 6 months, there is a "General Conference" of the church, where they teach us those things that they are prompted to teach by the Holy Ghost.  You can watch or read what they taught us this past conference by going here
