Throughout your life there may be times when you have gone places you never should have gone and done things you never should have done.

Boyd K. Packer

The Atonement has practical, personal, everyday value; apply it in your life. It can be activated with so simple a beginning as prayer.
BOYD K. PACKER

Everyday Prayer Simple
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.
BOYD K. PACKER

Agency Enticements Otherwise Spirit Use

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
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.

In all that we do in the Church, we need to provide the way, as leaders, for parents and children to have time together as families.

In a sense, speaking figuratively, to take one’s agency, that precious gift which the scriptures make plain is essential to life itself, and say, “I will do as you direct,” is afterward to learn that in so doing you possess it all the more.
BOYD K. PACKER

Afterward Discovery Greatest Learn Scriptures
No teaching is equal, more spiritually rewarding, or more exalting than that of a mother teaching her children.
BOYD K. PACKER

Children Mother Teaching
Moral standards cannot be changed by battle and cannot be changed by ballot.
BOYD K. PACKER

Bailout Battle Moral Standards
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.
BOYD K. PACKER

Hard Hurt Times Uplifting
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.
BOYD K. PACKER

Decision Determined Marvelous Realized Sake
