The Power of the Priesthood

by President Boyd K. Packer
April 2010 General Conference

The message I gleaned from this talk is to help people expect more of themselves. The two fathers that were asked to step up and utilize their priesthood just needed a nudge in the right direction. Some people just need to be asked, and they will do what is expected of them. It's easy to sit on the sidelines when no one expects anything of you, so if you need something from someone who has been less active, don't just assume they don't want to do their home teaching or visiting teaching or whatever--give them the opportunity to accept an invitation to do the right thing.
