Comments on: Eight Purposes of Revelation http://latterdaycommentary.com/blog/index.php/eight-purposes-of-revelation/ In which news, politics and religion are mixed - a potentially volatile combination Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:59:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tim Malone http://latterdaycommentary.com/blog/index.php/eight-purposes-of-revelation/comment-page-1/#comment-557 Tim Malone Tue, 16 Sep 2008 04:01:00 +0000 http://latterdaycommentary.com/blog/?p=170#comment-557 Thanks for visiting Travis,<br/><br/>This is mostly taken from a 1981 BYU Devotional address on the subject. I quoted extensively from it and the summary in the September 2004 New Era article that summarized it. I was given the assignment from the Bishop Saturday afternoon to fill in as a speaker on Sunday so I summarized and added some ideas of my own. Its a little long for my blog but it was something I wanted to post because it turned out to be one of my favorite talks so far.<br/><br/>Thankfully, the congregation did not have to endure me reading my talk verbatim. I read a paragraph or a sentence and then added a few ideas that struck me at the moment. This was one of those occasions where I used a lot of the talk because it was so good. I too was edified as it was delivered. Elder Oaks added a lot to my understanding of revelation as I taught these precepts Sunday. Thanks for visiting Travis,

I don't know that I have ever thought about revelation in such a way. I think that it will help me understand the revelation that I receive better. Thanks for this post.

We are all entitled to personal revelation, but it is a skill that requires continual development and a lifetime of mastery.<br/><br/>Thanks for this great post and its inspiring ideas.
