The Old Testament prophet Amos reminds us - "Surely The Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret* unto his servants the prophets." Amos 3:7
When the missionaries taught us about prophets, it all made sense to us. If God had prophets in Old and New Testament times, why wouldn't he have prophets now? Has the world become so much better and the people so much more righteous, that we, and God, don't need God's guidance in these days?
God set the pattern to use prophets. People seem to readily accept Moses, Abraham, Isaiah, and others as prophets. Why is it so difficult to accept the reality of modern-day prophets?

Twice a year members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints look forward to general conference. Thomas Monson, the two counselors in his presidency, and twelve apostles have been called and set apart as prophets.
They testify of Christ, encourage, and deliver counsel during sessions which are broadcast throughout the world. These are opportunities to learn from people who have messages from God to share with the world. The messages are for everyone.
