The end of all activity in the church is to see that a man and a woman with their children are happy at home, sealed for eternity.

Boyd K. Packer

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

Offended Punish Sins
What a wonderful time to be young. You will see events in your lifetime that will test your courage and extend your faith. If you will face the sunlight of truth, the shadows of discouragement and sin and error will fall behind you. You must never give up!
BOYD K. PACKER

Event Faith Give Up Test Time Truth
It is in the ordinances of the temple that we are placed under covenant to Him….[If] we will enter into our covenants without reservation or apology, the Lord will protect us. We will receive inspiration sufficient for the challenges of life.
BOYD K. PACKER

Apology Challenges Inspiration
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
Largely because of television, instead of looking over into that spacious building, we are, in effect, living inside of it. That is your fate in this generation. You are living in that great and spacious building.
BOYD K. PACKER

Balance Fate Generation Largely
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
Happiness is inseparably connected with decent, clean behavior.
BOYD K. PACKER

Feels Spirit Voice
If you have seen one of the temples at night, fully lighted, you know what an impressive sight that can be.
BOYD K. PACKER

Inspiration Jesus Spiritual
We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds; only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.
BOYD K. PACKER

Father Parenting Sorrow
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
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.
BOYD K. PACKER

Enough Never Good Thinking Worry
Happily ever after never happens in the second act.
BOYD K. PACKER

After Ever Happens Happily
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
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
Fear is the opposite of faith. We move forward, certain that the Lord will watch over us, particularly in the family.
BOYD K. PACKER
