The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.
Boyd K. Packer -
The Word of Wisdom does not promise you perfect health, but it teaches how to keep the body you were born with in the best condition and your mind alert to delicate spiritual promptings.
Boyd K. Packer
-
Teaching some things that are true, prematurely or at the wrong time, can invite sorrow and heartbreak instead of the joy intended to accompany learning.... The scriptures teach emphatically that we must give milk before meat. The Lord made it very clear that some things are to be taught selectively and some things are to be given only to those who are worthy.
Boyd K. Packer -
Our competition in life is solely with our old self.
Boyd K. Packer -
Faith is the power, obedience the sacrifice, love the means, Christ the reason.
Boyd K. Packer -
Without a knowledge of the gospel plan, transgression seems natural, innocent, even justified.
Boyd K. Packer -
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 -
The gospel stands as true for those who reject it as for those who accept it - both will be judged by it.

-
The purest, most beautiful and appealing experiences of life: romance, love, marriage, and parenthood.
Boyd K. Packer -
There's no credit buying on eternal things, none at all. Anything that is worthwhile has to be paid for in advance.
Boyd K. Packer -
The ultimate purpose of every teaching, every activity in the Church is that parents and their children are happy at home, sealed in an eternal marriage, and linked to their generations.
Boyd K. Packer -
You must know that baptism for someone who is dead is quite as essential as baptism for some one who is living.
Boyd K. Packer -
Those who will repent and forsake sin will find that His merciful arm is outstretched still. Those who listen to and heed His words and the words of His chosen servants will find peace and understanding even in the midst of great heartache and sorrow. The result of His sacrifice is to free us from the effects of sin, that all may have guilt erased and feel hope.
Boyd K. Packer -
An unusual thing happened after that great first vision. The Prophet Joseph received no additional communication for three years. However, he did not wonder, he did not question, he did not doubt the Lord. The Prophet Joseph patiently waited. The Prophet Joseph taught us the principle of patience-by example.
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 -
Your responsibility as a father and a husband transcends any other interest in life.
Boyd K. Packer -
No one of us can survive in the world of today, much less what it will become, without personal inspiration.
Boyd K. Packer -
Happiness is inseparably connected with decent, clean behavior.
Boyd K. Packer -
Those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence ... more than a speaker does.
Boyd K. Packer -
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. 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). This shield of faith is best fabricated in a cottage industry. While the shield can be polished in classes in the Church and in activities, it is meant to be handcrafted in the home and fitted to each individual.
Boyd K. Packer
-
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.
Boyd K. Packer -
There are spiritual and physical laws to obey if we are to be happy.
Boyd K. Packer -
Peace can be settled in the heart of each who turns to the scriptures and unlocks the promises of protection and redemption that are taught therein.
Boyd K. Packer -
Arms now empty will be filled and hearts now hurting from broken dreams and yearning will be healed.
