Hi Gramps, A little while ago in High Priests lesson time, we spoke about families. It was mentioned in general terms about the “patriarch of the home” and I mentioned that this title was something that could only be used when a man had been sealed to his...

Question Dear Gramps, I love your articles. But as so many others I have a question. In D&C 13 when John the Baptist restored the Aaronic priesthood, he said they would have it “..until the Sons of Levi do offer a sacrifice unto the Lord in...

Question Dear Gramps, Our branch is very small and we don’t have enough regularly attending priesthood holders to fill all the positions without each person tackling more than one. I understand this is necessary at times but I was wondering if you could explain...

Dear Gramps, I have heard it said that the Savior brought the Melchizedek priesthood with him from the pre-existence, that he wasn’t ordained here on earth. Is there any reference or information on this topic at all that you know of? FH, from California Dear FH,...

Gramps, How does one that holds the Melchizedek Priesthood follow his path back to all the others that held that Priesthood? We are told that we should be able to know who ordained us. Thank you. Leroy, from Pennsylvania Dear Leroy, If you don’t know who...

Dear Gramps, I haven’t had the courage to talk to anyone else about this. Since I can’t see you and you seem to be in tune, it will be much easier. A woman may only be sealed to one man, and a man may be sealed to many women. This concept leaves me feeling...
