More quotes by 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
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
You cannot force spiritual things. A testimony is not thrust upon you it grows. And a testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large. We become taller in our testimony like we grow in physical stature and hardly know it is happening, because it comes by growth.
Boyd K. Packer
Faith is the power, obedience the sacrifice, love the means, Christ the reason.
Boyd K. Packer
Thoughts, like water, will stay on course if we make a place for them to go. As you learn to control your thoughts, you can gain courage, conquer fear and have a happy life.
Boyd K. Packer
If you understand the great plan of happiness and follow it, what goes on in the world will not determine your happiness.
Boyd K. Packer
Seek worthy companions. Attend church faithfully. Never fail daily to seek for help through prayer. And I promise you that the way will be easier and you shall have a composure of mind and a confident attitude toward life and the future. You shall be warned of dangers and shall be guided through the whisperings of the Holy Spirit.
Boyd K. Packer
A testimony of the hope of redemption is something which cannot be measured or counted. Jesus Christ is the source of that hope.
Boyd K. Packer
Often, very often, we are punished as much by our sins as we are for them.
Boyd K. Packer
How grateful we are for you, our youth.
Boyd K. Packer
No service in the Church or in the community transcends that given in the home.
Boyd K. Packer
His judgments are just His mercy without limit His power to compensate beyond any earthly comparison.
Boyd K. Packer
However common irreverence and profanity become, they are nonetheless wrong
Boyd K. Packer
Faith is a real power, not just an expression of belief.
Boyd K. Packer
Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.
Boyd K. Packer
The ultimate purpose of every teaching, every activity in the Church is that parents and their children are happy at home, sealed in an eternal marriage, and linked to their generations.
Boyd K. Packer
Devotion to the family and devotion to the Church are not different and separate things.
Boyd K. Packer
There are few things more powerful than the faithful prayers of a righteous mother.
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
Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected.
Boyd K. Packer
