We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.

Those who speak of blind obedience may appear to know many things, but they do not understand the doctrines of the gospel. There is an obedience that comes from a knowledge of the truth that transcends any external form of control. We are not obedient because we are blind, we are obedient because we can see.

Joseph's vision of the Father and the Son opened this dispensation. Then came the Restoration of the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ with the same organization that existed in the primitive Church, built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets.
Boyd K. Packer

The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Life moves all too fast. When you feel weak, discouraged, depressed, or afraid, open the Book of Mormon and read.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
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.

It has to be an awfully good meeting to beat having no meeting at all.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
The rapid, sweeping deterioration of values is characterized by a preoccupation-even an obsession-with the procreative act. Abstinence before marriage and fidelity within it are openly scoffed at-marriage and parenthood ridiculed as burdensome, unnecessary. Modesty, a virtue of a refined individual or society, is all but gone.

Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected.
