When we choose to follow the Lord, He gives us all that He has in return.(14:23) Section 107 is a revelation on the priesthood.(16:19) Why Melchizedek is the model and designation for which the priesthood is named.(30:18) The purpose of the priesthood and hierarchy is to bring God’s children home.(33:35) The patriarchal priesthood is practiced in the home and is not hierarchal. The priesthood offices function as scaffolding to bless and build the family.(35:27) Calling and election is discussed in these revelations, but the journey matters as much as the destination.(39:47) Elder McConkie, “if you’re on that path when death comes…you’ll never fall off from it, and, for all practical purposes, your calling and election is made sure”.(42:19) How Boyd K. Packer’s understanding of Section 107 influenced change in the organization of the Seventy.(53:30) The Lord allows humans to run the church. The president of the church has the power to decide (D&C 107.79-80).(54:52) The ascendancy of the Quorum of the Twelve in 1841.(57:03) The restoration is ongoing. We are part of a living Church that grows and adjusts.(59:27) The meeting at Adam-ondi-Ahman.(1:02:13) The Pseudepigraphal Testament of Adam as it relates to the Lord’s comments in D&C 107.53-54. Joseph Smith sits in the tradition of early Christianity and their understanding of Adam’s role among the ancients.

0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome to Talking Scripture, a podcast where we illustrate relevance and application
0:08.0	of the scriptures in Come Follow Me. We also dive into the history and cultures of the text.
0:13.4	Thanks for taking the time to share and subscribe to this podcast. For show notes, head over to our website,
0:18.7	talking scripture.org.
0:25.2	Welcome to Talking Scripture, I'm Mike.
0:26.0	And I'm Bryce.
0:31.3	And today we are going to be in sections 106, 107, and 108.
0:36.0	Probably the most of our time is going to be spent in section 107.
0:41.1	But we're going to be really careful because 107 is kind of the handbook for priesthood quorum.
0:41.9	And we recognize that half the people listening to this podcast really aren't concerned
0:48.0	about priesthood corums and how priesthood corums operate.

1:19.0	respect who confessed that as a child, he did not read the scriptures very often and even doesn't
1:25.6	today because the scriptures make him feel guilty.
1:29.5	And I think that's a common occurrence that we believe that the scriptures are saying that
1:35.2	God expects us to be perfect. And the more we study this perfection expectation, the more
1:40.9	we feel like we don't measure up. Which is why I think it's so valuable to focus on
