In a time and world where there are shifting values we need help to remain strong and true. In a book from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Called Preach my gospel. They explain the roles for prophets.
"Truth is a knowledge of things as they really are, were, and will be. It does not changewith conditions or time. Truth is the same in every age and culture. God is the source of
all truth. We can have faith in Him because we know He will teach us only truth. God
wants all His children to know the truth. Therefore, He reveals the truths necessary for
salvation through prophets and apostles. He reveals truth to us personally through the
scriptures and personal revelation.
A prophet is called and chosen by God and is a righteous man with great faith. The Lord
reveals truth to him through the Holy Ghost. He commands His prophet to teach truth to
all people. Those who believe God’s words as revealed through His prophet are blessed."
In a talk from Elder Dallin H. Oaks in the Oct. 2010, General Conference He gave a great talk explaining the difference and importance of the two types of revelation, Personal revelation and revelation from prophets. Called "Two Lines of Communication" (http://lds.org/general-conference/2010/10/two-lines-of-communication?lang=eng&query=two+ways+communication)
