Doctrine and Covenants 1

(September 12, 2013)
As I read through this section, I started to think within myself why the Lord took the angry tone that He has done from time to time in His history.  This made me wonder about how that is congruent with His nature as a loving God.  When I yell at my children, I always feel like I have been a failure in some respect.  I don’t think that God is a similar failure.

I have noticed that, when I have thoughts like that, my answer is going to come shortly thereafter.  Sure enough, there was the language – He chastens in order to press us to repent.
