More quotes by Boyd K. Packer
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
One of the adversary's sharpest tools is to convince us that we are no longer worthy to pray. No matter who you are or what you may have done, you can always pray.
Boyd K. Packer
Peace can be settled in the heart of each who turns to the scriptures and unlocks the promises of protection and redemption that are taught therein.
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
We are not free to break our covenants and escape the consequences.
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
Often, very often, we are punished as much by our sins as we are for them.
Boyd K. Packer
Teach yourself and teach your families about the gift of the Holy Ghost and the Atonement of Jesus Christ. You will do no greater eternal work than within the walls of your own home.
Boyd K. Packer
The power of procreation is not an incidental part of the plan it is the plan of happiness.
Boyd K. Packer
Some things that are true are not very useful.
Boyd K. Packer
Your secret yearnings and tearful pleadings will touch the heart of both the Father and the Son.
Boyd K. Packer
Music can set an atmosphere of worship which invites [the] spirit of revelation, of testimony.
Boyd K. Packer
The Restoration began with the prayer of a 14-year-old boy and a vision of the Father and the Son. The dispensation of the fulness of times was ushered in.
Boyd K. Packer
The flak is always the heaviest closest to the target
Boyd K. Packer
The idea that life began with mortal birth is preposterous. There is no way to explain life if you believe that.
Boyd K. Packer
Faith is the power, obedience the sacrifice, love the means, Christ the reason.
Boyd K. Packer
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.
Boyd K. Packer
We accept the responsibility to preach the gospel to every person on earth. And if the question is asked, you mean you are out to convert the entire world? The answer is, 'yes'. We will try to reach every living soul.
Boyd K. Packer
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.
Boyd K. Packer
Those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence ... more than a speaker does.
