I also found this post helpful. Thanks. I think my biggest beef with Piper’s article was not his love of scripture but his claiming things for it that the BIble doesn’t claim for itself. He reacted to people being thrilled by the voice of God apart from scripture when the BIble is sitting right in front of them. If the BIble doesn’t thrill them, true – there is a problem. But ANYTHING God says, no matter how he chooses to say it, is absolutely amazing. As the PRoverb has it, “Every word of God is flawless.” (PRov. 30:5).

If you’d like a great basic introduction to hearing God’s voice, feel free to check out my website: http://www.howtoheargodspeaking.com, a Christ centered site dedicated to helping people hear God for themselves. You can download my free article called “How to Hear the Voice of God: Ditching the 7 Deadly Myths That Plug Your SPiritual Ears.” I’m also working on an article right now called “Hearing God Speak THrough Scripture.”

God bless,

But, I would add, the Scriptures never change.

And let me add further that we all absolutely must always be trying to reach the truth. When I say we could be wrong a great deal of the time, I'm admitting my fallibility, not justifying apathy. Truth does matter.

Of all the posts I’ve read on Piper’s article this past week, yours helped me the most, esp. the 2nd to last paragraph. I’ve been around people who “hear God” from reading freeway signs, go on cayenne pepper n’ water fasts to ‘purify’ themselves in order to “hear God” better—all the while neglecting the voice of God as revealed in Scripture. I was highly skeptical of Piper’s article in a post I wrote on my own blog, but your post has helped clarify it for me. Thanks.

Because one or both�most likely both�do not always hear correctly.

But, I would add, the Scriptures never change. Our goal in studying Scripture is to understand the Author’s intent and meaning in what is written, taking into account the entirety of what He has revealed to us in His Word.

Good post.

Just curious: If God speaks to both of you, how is it even possible for you to have differing theological stances?
