Rufus Jones

Revelation, then, cannot all be on a single level. It depends for its height wholly upon the person through whom it comes, as the same breath through a flute gives a high note or a low note, according to the stop that is fingered. If this be so—and it is hard to see how any other view could be held—then the thing we are to look for in a revelation is not infallibility, not a dictated word, but a divine message spoken through a human personality, tested in a personal life and preserved for our use to-day because it has proved its supreme worth through all the siftings of the ages. - Rufus Jones, A Dynamic Faith

Tested in our life.
Preserved for day-to-day use.

Taking note, Rufus!
