The power of the priesthood...and the power of EACH of us

Absolutes. In math and in language there are absolutes. 'never say never or always'. i thought about this a ton as i read this article. Packer throws out so many absolutes. in a world of wishy-washy beliefs and life styles, i find this captivating:

THE LORD AND HIS SERVANTS ARE BOLD---THEY ARE NOT AFRAID OF TRUTHS.

"Today we are encamped against the GREATEST array of sin, vice and evil EVER assembled before our eyes."

"Through the keys of the priesthood, they [have] access to ALL of the powers of heaven. They were commanded to carry the gospel unto ALL nations."

"It has NEVER been easy to live the gospel of Jesus Christ."

"We can and in due time certainly WILL influence ALL of humanity. It will be known who we are and why we are.

"It seems clear to me that the Church has NO CHOICE--and NEVER HAS HAD-- but to do more to assist the family in carrying out its divine mission...that is the MOST practical contribution we can make..."

"We need EVERYONE."

"EVERY (said 7 times--symbol of perfection)...ALL these have as their ULTIMATE purpose the perfection of the individual and the family."

the priesthood and families are under attack. the individual is under attack. and yet, we can follow the lords battle plan. its never been easy, but we can do it and we will win.

"We have NO FEAR of the future. Fear is the opposite of faith. We move forward, CERTAIN that the lord will watch over us, particularly in the family."

what are your thoughts?? please feel free to write any thoughts or inspiration you have--we can help strengthen each other!
