That historian or scholar who delights in pointing out the weaknesses and frailties of present or past leaders destroys faith. A destroyer of faith โ particularly one within the Church, and more particularly one who is employed specifically to build faith โ places himself in great spiritual jeopardy. He is serving the wrong master, and unless he repents, he will not be among the faithful in the eternities. Do not spread disease germs!
Boyd K. PackerDon't live so that your children go unled because of habits that leave you uninspired.
Boyd K. PackerThe first gift that Adam and Eve received was agency: โThou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto theeโ (Moses 3:17). 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. โDeny yourselves of all ungodlinessโ (Moroni 10:32).
Boyd K. Packer
