More quotes by Boyd K. Packer
His judgments are just His mercy without limit His power to compensate beyond any earthly comparison.
Boyd K. Packer
When music is presented which, however appropriate for other occasions, does not fit the Sabbath, much is lost. . . . The Spirit does not ratify speech nor confirm music which lacks spiritual substance.
Boyd K. Packer
It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal. Teach our members that if they have a good, miserable day once in a while, or several in a row, to stand steady and face them. Things will straighten out. There is great purpose in our struggle in life.
Boyd K. Packer
At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can 'see' things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known.
Boyd K. Packer
However common irreverence and profanity become, they are nonetheless wrong
Boyd K. Packer
Music can set an atmosphere of worship which invites [the] spirit of revelation, of testimony.
Boyd K. Packer
Faith is the power, obedience the sacrifice, love the means, Christ the reason.
Boyd K. Packer
What a wonderful time to be young. You will see events in your lifetime that will test your courage and extend your faith. If you will face the sunlight of truth, the shadows of discouragement and sin and error will fall behind you. You must never give up!
Boyd K. Packer
Freedom is not a self-preserving gift. It has to be earned, and it has to be protected.
Boyd K. Packer
Perhaps no other book has been denounced so vigorously by those who have never read it as has the Book of Mormon.
Boyd K. Packer
Happily ever after never happens in the second act.
Boyd K. Packer
Don't live so that your children go unled because of habits that leave you uninspired.
Boyd K. Packer
There is a temptation for the writer or the teacher of Church history to want to tell everything, whether it is worthy or faith promoting or not. Some things that are true are not very useful.
Boyd K. Packer
If you have seen one of the temples at night, fully lighted, you know what an impressive sight that can be. The house of the Lord, bathed in light, standing out in the darkness, becomes symbolic of the power and the inspiration of the gospel of Jesus Christ standing as a beacon in a world that sinks ever further into spiritual darkness.
Boyd K. Packer
I hope to be judged as good a man as my father. Before I hear those words well done from my Heavenly Father, I hope to first hear them from my mortal father.
Boyd K. Packer
Parents are with their children almost constantly and can observe when they are ready to be instructed. From questions or behavior or because of experiences in their own lives, they can sense that it is time to teach. Parents must know when the time for the lesson is now, right now, for their children are ready for it.
Boyd K. Packer
I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them. Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.
Boyd K. Packer
One who can control his thoughts has conquered himself.
Boyd K. Packer
Temple. One other word is equal in importance to a Latter-day Saint. Home. Put the words holy temple and home together, and you have described the house of the Lord!
Boyd K. Packer
Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected.
