“The majority of the people have never been able to recognize a living prophet. In each generation they idolized the prophets of the past, while they stoned the living prophets of the present.
Can you believe with me that God could speak to men who were the common clay of our generation? If you do, you are unusual, because the rest of the people follow the human tendency to look back and honor only the prophets who are dead. And look at the way they usually honor them:
They place these prophets of the past on imaginary pedestals.
They make a selection from their teachings that suit their own particular fancy.
And while honoring a few popular phrases that identify them with these great servants of God, they smugly go along their own wad.
But you cannot do this with living prophets. Why? Because living prophets will denounce those who profess allegiance to God, but follow the rashness of their own selfish lives. They will not allow men to pick their teachings to pieces and construct aCRazy-quilt pattern of personal interpretation that suits fashion and private folly.
Perhaps that is why prophets are never very popular while they are alive to defend the teachings that God has given to them.”
