Devotion to the family and devotion to the Church are not different and separate things.

Image
Nowhere are the generosity and the kindness and mercy of God more manifest than in repentance.
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.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
We were given our agency. We must use it wisely and remain close to the Spirit otherwise, we foolishly find ourselves yielding to the enticements of the adversary.

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.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
The spiritually starving hesitate to partake of the Spirit like a child's reaction to new and strange food. They must be offered a tiny bite on a spoon.

Tolerance is a virtue, but, like all virtues, when exaggerated it transforms itself into a vice.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
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.

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.

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.

Image
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.

Like most things of great worth, knowledge which is of eternal value comes only through personal prayer and pondering. These, joined with fasting and scripture study, will invite impressions and revelations and the whisperings of the Holy Spirit. This provides us with instruction from on high as we learn precept upon precept.

If you have stumbled or even been lost for a time, you can move forward with faith and not wander to and fro in the world any longer.

No teaching is equal, more spiritually rewarding, or more exalting than that of a mother teaching her children.

Image
There is little to be gained by seeking after the mysteries, for there is hardly time in a lifetime to master the plain and precious things.

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.

Dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.
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.

The gospel stands as true for those who reject it as for those who accept it - both will be judged by it.
