Week March 1-7-DC-“The Rise of the Church of Christ!” “ Still some people ask why is an organized Church necessary?” "And gave him power from on high, by the means which were before prepared, to translate the Book of Mormon; Which contains a record of a fallen people, and the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles and to the Jews also; Which was given by inspiration, and confirmed to others by the ministering of angels, and is declared unto the world by them-- Proving to the world that the holy scriptures are true, and that God does inspire men and call them to his holy work in this age and generation, as well as in generations of old; Thereby showing that he is the same God yesterday, today, and forever. Amen."DC 20: 8-12; 20-27; 37-60; 75-79. The Church of Jesus Christ is led by a living prophet. "For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth in all patience and faith." "...the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I the Lord, am well pleased, speaking unto the church collectively and not individually-" DC 1:30
