One thing is very clear: the safest place and the best protection against the moral and spiritual diseases is a stable home and family. This has always been true; it will be true forever. We must keep that foremost in our minds.

Boyd K. Packer

If our view is limited to mortal life, some things become unbearable because they seem so unfair and so permanent.
BOYD K. PACKER

Unbearable Unfair Views
Just as chalk can be removed from a chalkboard, with sincere repentance, the effects of our transgression can be erased through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
BOYD K. PACKER

Atonement Christ Jesus
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….Some needlessly carry a heavy burden of guilt which could be removed through confession and repentance.
BOYD K. PACKER

Burden heavy Needlessly Please
Fear is the opposite of faith. We move forward, certain that the Lord will watch over us, particularly in the family.
BOYD K. PACKER

Family Fear Particular
Despite the opposition, trials, and temptations, you need not fail or fear.
BOYD K. PACKER

Needs Temptation Trials
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

Convince Done Tools Us
The scriptures speak of ‘the shield of faith wherewith,’ the Lord said, ‘ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked’ (D&C 27:17).
BOYD K. PACKER

Quenched Scripture Speak
You have that same agency. Use it wisely to deny acting on any impure impulse or unholy temptation that may come into your mind. Just do not go there, and if you are already there, come back out of it. ‘Deny yourselves of all ungodliness’ (Moroni 10:32).
BOYD K. PACKER

Already Come Impulse Mind Use
I know that God is our Father. He introduced His Son, Jesus Christ, to Joseph Smith. I declare to you that I know that Jesus is the Christ. I know that He lives. He was born in the meridian of time.
BOYD K. PACKER

Father Jesus Son
Those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence … more than a speaker does.
BOYD K. PACKER

Accompany May Reverance Spirit
No pain will last forever. It is not easy, but life was never meant to be either easy or fair. Repentance and the lasting hope that forgiveness brings will always be worth the effort.
BOYD K. PACKER

Inspirational Pain Spiritual
The gospel stands as true for those who reject it as for those who accept it – both will be judged by it.
BOYD K. PACKER

Accepting Judge Rejects
If you are burdened with depressing feelings of guilt or disappointment, of failure or shame, there is a cure.
BOYD K. PACKER

Depressing Disappointment Feelings
The permissiveness afforded by the weakening of the laws of the land to tolerate legalized acts of immorality does not reduce the serious spiritual consequence that is the result of the violation of God’s law of chastity.
BOYD K. PACKER

Immorality Permissiveness Violation Weakening
The idea that life began with mortal birth is preposterous. There is no way to explain life if you believe that.
BOYD K. PACKER

Believe Ideas Life Preposterous
Everything that I have learned from the revelations and from life convinces me that there is time and to spare for you to carefully prepare for a long life.
BOYD K. PACKER

Carefully Everything Learned Prepare
