150 | +1. [Doctrine and Covenants 88:13](https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/88.13?lang=eng#p13): "The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things." |

154 | +3. [Bruce R. McConkie, "The Doctrine of the Priesthood," Ensign, May 1982](https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1982/05/the-doctrine-of-the-priesthood?lang=eng): "Priesthood is the very name of the power of God, and it is used to describe both the power itself and the system or organization by which it is administered. The priesthood is eternal; without beginning of days or end of years; it existed with God in the beginning; it is the power by which the worlds were made and is the power by which they will dissolve." |
