Fundamentals In Following The Prophets

~ SPEECH GIVEN AT BYU, 1980 ~
(Ezra Taft Benson)

• The prophet is the ONLY MAN who speaks for the Lord in EVERYTHING.
   
  

• The LIVING prophet is MORE VITAL than the STANDARD WORKS.
   
  
• The LIVING prophet is MORE IMPORTANT than a DEAD prophet.
   
  
• The prophet will NEVER lead the church astray.
   
  
• The prophet does NOT have to say "Thus saith the Lord" in order TO GIVE SCRIPTURE (D & C 21:4).
