INSIGHT

Understanding the Mighty and Strong One

  • The "mighty and strong one" refers to the person appointed by God to set inheritances right, originally Edward Partridge.
  • Apostates misuse this phrase to claim authority falsely, but the First Presidency clarified Partridge fulfilled this role through repentance.
ADVICE

Avoid Unauthorized Intervention

  • Avoid assuming wrongdoing in church leaders without cause; God protects His work.
  • Do not try to fix problems outside your authority; let designated leaders handle them.
ADVICE

Preventing and Curing Noah Blindness

  • Prevent and cure "Noah blindness" through priesthood, lineage, and teaching gospel principles at home.
  • Help loved ones see that parental and prophetic rebukes come from true friends, not enemies.
