Reflection and Synthesis Report Name: Krystal Whitehead Week #: 6 Instructions In the table provided below, you will complete your reflection and synthesis responses for this week. Be sure to complete each Response section. When referencing scripture or other materials, only include a brief or abbreviated summary along with the citation as these cannot be included in the required word count. When you have completed the document, save it to your computer and follow the instructions in your course to submit the assignment to your instructor. 1. Did you complete all the assigned reading for the week? [Yes X ⃝ or No ⃝] 2. Article of Faith Please identify the Article of Faith studied this week Response: Article of Faith #5 - We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. 3. Explanation of Key Events and Scriptures Demonstrate your comprehension of fundamental truths of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and your ability to use the scriptures to teach them. Be sure to include specific scripture references from the assigned readings Scenario: Imagine you have been asked by a family member or friend to share what you believe about the truths and events you studied this week. Share in your own words several insights as though you are really trying to teach someone. Include at least three scripture references to support the truths you teach (you may reference them, but there is no need to quote them). Share your testimony as you would when teaching someone. Your response will be evaluated by the following criteria: 1. 200–300 words in length (please include your word count at the bottom of the section). 2. Include at least 3 scripture references . Response: The major aspect of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that sets us apart from other Christian churches around the world is that the power of the priesthood has been restored to us through our church leaders. This power is the Power of God on this earth. It is given to worthy men of a certain age by placing hands on the person’s head and reciting a prayer as part of the ordination. (Moroni 3) To be worthy to hold the priesthood, men must be

obedient to the laws of God and honor the covenants they have made with him.(D&C 132:7) There are two types of Priesthood. Young men become eligible for the Aaronic priesthood the year that they will be turning 12. This priesthood allows them to pass the Sacrament, ordain others to offices of the priesthood, and when they are old enough, bless the sacrament and perform baptisms. At the age of 18, men become eligible for the Melchizedek priesthood which allows those who hold it to perform ordinances such as naming and blessing children, healing the sick, and bestowing the gift of the Holy Ghost to new members who have been baptized. (“The Keys and Authority of the Priesthood” April 2014) The power of the priesthood can also be used as protection for us against those who would try to keep us from following the teachings of God. We can call upon the power of God in the name of Jesus Christ to protect us, we can have it. It may come in ways we do not expect it, but it will come. (D&C 121:16-22) Word Count: 275 4. Synthesis: Personal Relevance and Application to the Real World There are many serious challenges people encounter on a daily basis that are consequences of living in a fallen world. The gospel truths taught in the Articles of Faith have tremendous power to help people find answers, rise above problems, or simply feel God's love and concern for them again. Each week you will choose an issue (below) and think deeply about how the truths in that week’s Article of Faith can offer hope to those who are experiencing the problem. If you have another issue that particularly interests you, then choose your own: abortion abuse/bullying addiction depression divorce domestic violence energy/environmental issues violence gambling genocide homosexuality international terrorism
