Hello, my friends. Welcome to another Follow Him Favorites. My name is Hank Smith. I'm

0:06.0

here with the wonderful John, by the way. Hi, John. Hi, Hank. John, you know the drill.

Follow Him Favorites. We take a question from this week's Come Follow Me Lesson and attempt

0:16.1

to answer it. The question for this week, John, comes from the story of Peter in Acts

0:21.3

chapter 10, where Peter changes what you would say a policy in the church that you can't

0:27.7

teach Gentiles. And then he receives revelation and he says, we're going to change that policy.

0:34.7

What do you think that means for our church, for the idea of a prophet continuing revelation?

0:40.9

Another way to ask this might be, what does the Lord mean when he calls this church a living

0:45.2

church?

0:46.2

Oh, yeah, I like that question because, you know, the world changes dramatically. I like

even mention movies and television because they were so clean back then, I guess. It wasn't

1:17.0

the thing. And so what changed the world did? And we adjusted the Lord adjusted it through

1:22.8

his prophets. Now, we've coined that phrase, the church is true. John, we have taken that

1:27.8

and run with it. And it's ours, right? The church is true. But I think that comes from

1:32.2

doctrine, Kevin and section one where the Lord says the church is true and living and

1:36.0

living. I think we leave that part out, maybe to our detriment. Article of faith number

1:40.4

nine says we believe in all that God has revealed, all that he does now reveal. We believe

1:44.8

he will yet reveal many great and important things. As far as I know that article of faith
