“Brothers and sisters, we live in perilous times. But the Lord has prepared a pattern in all things so that we need not be deceived. Part of that pattern is the presence of a prophet in the land to teach us truth. Are we listening, and is it impacting how we teach and minister to our students” in our classrooms and in our ministering to them?
(Elder Gilbert, Amplify Prophetic Messages, S&I Annual Broadcast 2026).
As seminary and institute teachers, one of the ways we can say, “Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth,” is to listen to and carefully study the words of the Lord as revealed through His living prophets. We can become a prophetic echo of the instruction prophets are already sharing with our young adults.
(Elder Gilbert, Speak Lord, for Thy Servant Heareth, S&I Annual Broadcast 2024)
"I will highlight five prophetic themes that the prophet and the apostles have been emphasizing, particularly to the young adults of the Church. If I were leading a Teachings of the Living Prophets course next semester, these themes would anchor the syllabus. Regardless of the specific course you are teaching, I hope you will allow these messages to influence both your curriculum and the way you teach and minister to your students."
