You might be interested in Timothy Bayless’ series on “Objections to Hearing God” over at J. P. Moreland’s site. He is responding to various objections that some have to hearing God today.http://www.jpmoreland.com/2012/04/02/objections-to-hearing-god-part-four-does-god-try/

These are fantastic and very practical-pastoral thoughts on hearing God communicate-speak today. My heart only saddens if it would be dismissed, or maybe even just as bad, people might caveat, 'Yeah, God can communicate in some kind of "lower" way today as compared to biblical prophecy. But because we are not certain, it doesn't carry "much weight" like those biblical prophets.' Or something of this flavour. It is a tragedy that we not allow God, yes God himself, to speak deeply, significantly, might I even add, authoritatively into our lives, situations and churches today. We need the voice of God, for as one wise man said - we cannot live on bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

Norrin -

Feel free to share more of your thoughts. I am not sure if you are specifically thinking of passages like 1 Cor 14:29 – Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

Oh, and if you would like to contribute a post to this blog, please know the door is open.

Thanks

Norrin -

Thanks for stopping by here.

With your point #1, nothing was stated as to which came first. I can look at publishing dates at the beginning of a book. It was simply noting that you will find “cross-referenced” material across the 3 varying works.

I appreciated this academic work – The Holy Spirit and Spiritual Gifts by Max Turner. It looked at a larger context of the work of the Spirit, at least in the NT, though it does touch on OT/intertestamental stuff at the beginning.
