Is God Still Speaking?

Is God Still Speaking?

God is still speaking” is a catchy phrase currently touted in some Protestant churches.

Sometimes its intent is to encourage believers to be aware of and listen to God’s “voice,” what he wants to say to us.

But, in other cases, it hints at the possibility that maybe some tenets of our faith are no longer true—or have never been true—we just misunderstood God in the past.

How does a believer sort this out?

Whenever I am confused, I fall back on the “facts” underlying my faith.

A house must be built on a solid, unmoving foundation. This is also true of our faith. Without absolute truths, our faith has nothing to rest upon. We have nothing to stand upon.

I love praise songs and contemporary hymns. I enjoy the beat, the spirit, and the ease with which they can be sung.

But I find it sad that so few churches today incorporate traditional hymns into their worship services.

The traditional hymns were written when there were no computers, television, or radio. It was a time when men and women focused on faith, family, friends, and the work of their hands. They read many books and met regularly in churches, gathering houses, pubs, and each other’s homes to discuss thoughts, ideas, and faith.
