*Prophecy belongs in family, not in the dark and not on demand.* The New Testament knows almost nothing of hearing from God through strangers outside the life of a local church. The church is imperfect. It still keeps people safe most of the time. We are living in a...

*The depth of sonship is the depth of hearing.* Hearing from God has to move along a line. At one end it is subjective. God could be speaking. We think it is God. We cannot quite prove it. We get blown around. That is not a huge problem if you stay in the shallow end...
