Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Matt 7:7)

Regret?

I am so grateful to belong to a church that receives direct revelation from Jesus Christ, through His modern day prophets. My faith in this principle is only strengthened more after reading/watching the news and seeing where our society is headed. Just today I was reading an article on CNN.com about the Vatican regretting their decision to allow female bishops.

"The Vatican said Tuesday it regrets the decision by the Church of England's governing body to allow the ordination of women as bishops.

The move by the Anglican Church's General Synod "is a rift to the apostolic tradition" of ordaining only men as bishops, the Vatican said in a statement, and is another obstacle to reconciliation between Anglicans and Roman Catholics..." Full Story

I can not recall a time that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement regretting a decision they have made. That is because the head of our Church is Jesus Christ himself and as a perfect, all-knowing Being, He does not make mistakes. Every thing is done for a reason, and we must have faith in those things. This has strengthened my testimony of modern-day revelation.

What a wonderful thing the Plan of Salvation is. To know what our Heavenly Father has designed for us, and what is expected of us. The Priesthood is His power and authority on the earth. What a blessing it is for us to know we are all children of our Heavnly Father. Women have a vital role in the Plan of Salvation to be earthly mother's to His spirit children. I love my wife and mother of our children, she is a very strong and supportive person. She amazes me in all that she does, and I know she is truly blessed by our Heavenly Father.
