God Speaking Through Preaching?
Three quotes to think about:
The Second Helvetic Confession
The preaching of the Word of God is the Word of God.
John Calvin, Institutes, IV.i.5
It is a singular privilege that He deigns to consecrate to Himself the mouths and tongues of men in order that His voice may resound in them.
Al Mohler, He Is Not Silent, p. 57
I fear that there are many evangelicals today who believe that God spoke but doubt whether he speaks. . . . But if you call yourself a preacher of God's Word, and you think that all of God's speaking was in the past, then resign. I say that with deadly seriousness. . . . If you are not confident that God speaks as you rightly read and explain the Word of God, then you should quit.
