Reverence Invites Revelation
Elder Boyd K. Packer
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Elder Packer warned that irreverence jams the delicate channels of revelation and urged reverent meetings, sacred hymns, and reverential prayer.
“It is best described as a feeling”
“Inspiration comes more easily in peaceful settings.”
“Be still, and know that I am God”
“Irreverence suits the purposes of the adversary”
“the hymns of the Restoration are, in fact, a course in doctrine!”
Scriptures
Ps. 46:10; 1 Kgs. 19:12; D&C 25:12; 2 Ne. 32:3–5
