We are not free to break our covenants and escape the consequences.
Boyd K. Packer

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.

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.

In or out of marriage, abortion is not an individual choice. At a minimum, three lives are involved.
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
Arms now empty will be filled and hearts now hurting from broken dreams and yearning will be healed.

Image
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!

Image
Addiction has the capacity to disconnect the human will and nullify moral agency. It can rob one of the power to decide.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Without a knowledge of the gospel plan, transgression seems natural, innocent, even justified.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
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.

Image
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.
