If you stumble, rise up, go on.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
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.

Do you realize how marvelous it is that you can call upon the Atonement? The Lord effected the Atonement for our sakes. And there isn’t anything that you can’t repent from and that you can’t be rescued from if you will repent and be determined to make the decision.

An organist who has the sensitivity to quietly play prelude music from the hymnbook tempers our feelings and causes us to go over in our minds the lyrics which teach the peaceable things of the kingdom. If we will listen, they are teaching the gospel, for the hymns of the Restoration are, in fact, a course in doctrine!
Boyd K. Packer
Image
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
Image
Ordinances and covenants become our credentials for admission into His presence. To worthily receive them is the quest of a lifetime to keep them thereafter is the challenge of mortality.

Reverence invites Revelation
Boyd K. Packer
Image
I do not think it pleases the Lord when we worry because we think we never do enough or that what we do is never good enough.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Nowhere are the generosity and the kindness and mercy of God more manifest than in repentance.

Image
Faith is the power, obedience the sacrifice, love the means, Christ the reason.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence ... more than a speaker does.

Image
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.

Some people think a miracle is only a miracle if it happens instantaneously, but miracles can grow slowly and patience and faith can compel things to happen that otherwise never would have come to pass.
