I think it was incredibly widespread, not just music and the new apostolic Reformation teachers and proponents that believe this is a way of thinking that has permeated most of the evangelical church today most Christians believe that they can hear the still small voice for themselves. With this theology as you go through in your book and I just expounded some of those terrible lyrics, but how widespread would you say this idea is now that God speaks outside of Scripture directly to me today. I know Bethel music isn't really an outlier.

How are you doing I'm doing well thank you well. Janet is just wonderful to have you with us today. It is out with a fantastic book on this bus but growing idea that God speaks personally and directly to us outside of his word in the book is called God doesn't whisper. He is the teaching pastor at Kootenay Community Church in North Idaho. We are going to tackle this very important question today with Jim Osman. In fact, this idea that Christians do and should expect to hear the voice of God directly is pervasive. But the bigger tragedy of that song is that it's message is utterly mainstream in the church today. Now those are some heady claims, especially because there's not one Bible verse or reference to the Bible's authority in that song and it is the Bible that is God's word through which he speaks. The dead man still gets up from the ground because of his voice.Įverything stands at attention when my father speaks when my daddy speaks.

The voice of God, the deaf ears still response to that sound of his voice. Listen to the texture and the tone listen. If you listen you will hear him before there were so many noises I made so many wrong choices listening to other voices but now I hear the voice of God. I certainly haven't, but the folks over at Bethel music seem to think they have given the release of a song not too long ago called voice of God with those lyrics and they get worse actually hear some of the rest of the lyrics.
