Somewhere there is a message in the protest of the man who said, “You can’t tell me that worry doesn’t help. The things I worry about never happen.”

Boyd K. Packer

A testimony of the hope of redemption is something which cannot be measured or counted. Jesus Christ is the source of that hope.
BOYD K. PACKER

Christ Jesus Redemption
The house of the Lord, bathed in light, standing out in the darkness, becomes symbolic of the power and the inspiration of the gospel of Jesus Christ standing as a beacon in a world that sinks ever further into spiritual darkness.

Often, very often, we are punished as much by our sins as we are for them.
BOYD K. PACKER

Offended Punish Sins
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
I’m not ashamed to say that I want to be good. And I’ve found in my life that it has been critically important to establish this intention between me and the Lord so that I knew that HE knew which way I committed my agency.
BOYD K. PACKER

Agency Differences Giving
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

There is also an age-old excuse: “The devil made me do it.” Not so! He can deceive you and mislead you, but he does not have the power to force you or anyone else to transgress or to keep you in transgression.

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.

It has to be an awfully good meeting to beat having no meeting at all.

The ultimate effort of everything in the Church is to the end that a father and a mother and their children can be happy at home. If they are happy at home, they are spiritually prepared for whatever should be ahead of them in the world.

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.
