0:00.0 | How many times have you had a question, a concern, an issue come up, and your knee-jerk response was, |
0:08.4 | oh, I wonder what so-and-so would say about that? |
0:12.8 | So we either Google it or we text someone or we call someone. |
0:17.4 | When seeking truth, a trend that we have is to turn horizontally, looking for answers. |
0:28.6 | Somebody's going to be able to tell me what to do or what this means. |
0:32.6 | A former friend and colleague of mine, Tom Charington, used to use the phrase, if any of you lack |
0:40.0 | wisdom, let him ask of Google. That seems to be the prevailing philosophy in our world, |

1:54.8 | sisters, is truth doesn't change. We change based on what we believe or the degree to which we understand |
2:05.5 | and tap into truth. But we can't change truth based on public opinion. So as we jump in here, |
2:12.0 | we're going to be talking about what is the role of a prophet in helping us know what truth is? Not seeing the prophet is just another |
2:23.4 | source among many horizontal sources of potential truth-seeking in the world, but rather |
