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

Bailout Battle Moral Standards
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
Fix that truth in your mind and hold to it. However many generations in your mortal ancestry, no matter what race or people you represent, the pedigree of your spirit can be written on a single line. You are a child of God!

Fix Represent Truth Written
Temple. One other word is equal in importance to a Latter-day Saint. Home. Put the words holy temple and home together, and you have described the house of the Lord!

Home House Together
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.

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
There is a falsehood that some are born with an attraction to their own kind, with nothing they can do about it. They are just ‘that way’ and can only yield to those desires. That is a malicious and destructive lie. While it is a convincing idea to some, it is of the devil.

Despite the opposition, trials, and temptations, you need not fail or fear.

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

Beats Meetings
Faith, to be faith, must walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness. If everything has to be known, if everything has to be explained, if everything has to be certified, then there is no need for faith. Indeed, there is no room for it.
BOYD K. PACKER

Certified Edge Everything Faith
Latter-day Saints are not obedient because they are compelled to be obedient. They are obedient because they know certain spiritual truths and have decided, as an expression of their own individual agency, to obey the commandments of God. . . .
BOYD K. PACKER

Agency Expression Spiritual
Freedom is not a self-preserving gift. It has to be earned, and it has to be protected.
