Comments on: Does God speak? http://www.deepbrew.com/2007/03/25/does-god-speak/ very occasional coffee-induced musings Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:17:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Elva http://www.deepbrew.com/2007/03/25/does-god-speak/#comment-2258 Elva Sat, 14 Apr 2007 12:13:02 +0000 http://www.deepbrew.com/2007/03/25/does-god-speak/#comment-2258 In these last days, hearing from God will not be an option. Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice. Also, I sense that is a large part of what Jesus was showing when he gave the account at the judgement of God saying I know you not. Yes, fellowship with God does include hearing from Him. This kind of fellowship is what makes life. Keep seeking HIm and yoou will find the jewwl without price.

Piper is telling us how incredible and personal the words of God in the Bible can be to us. I read it again and saw it more clearly. But the jab at the professor seemed a bit out of line, nevertheless. I read the prof's story and it really is quite amazing, but I can understand Piper's concern of not wanting to normalize or exalt personal private communication over the inspired word in the Bible. I was talking to my friend Paul this evening and he reminded me about Willard's "Hearing God." I'm going to pick that up again and see what he has to say about communications from God.

I took him to be promoting the power of Scripture to speak to us. I think He was calling for us to recognize that the Spirit of God wants to be actively involved in our reading of Scripture and that He can really speak through it. I took Piper to be promoting a "mystical" reading of the Word in which Christ takes the written word and does truly say it to us in an "extrabiblical" way.

Piper is in favor of extrabiblical communication, he just beleives they should be tested by teh bible and do not surpass the experiecne of God available in the bible. Do come and join the conversation at my blog - it is getting interesting:- http://www.adrian.warnock.info/2007/03/john-piper-hears-voice-of-god.htm You missed the point.
