Far too often, we all, male and female, live below our priviledges when it come to priesthood authority and power.
Priesthood in the Church and priesthood in the home function very differently. We often mix them up, which can cause great harm.
Too many misunderstand the gold and the clay principle and end up rejecting the things of God because of the mistakes of men.
To understand the role of the Church in these latter-days, we look at the early saints' attempt to build the New Jerusalem.
