link: To hear the voice of the Spirit...

To hear the voice of the Spirit speaking, you have to know what the Spirit has said. In other words, to know what God is saying now, you have to also know what God has said in the past. Scripture is this living record of God's acts and pronouncements. God has already told us that He is yesterday, today, and forever the same. Unlike us, God does not reinvent Himself over and over again. He is who He is. He is who He was and who He will be. They are not new or different but the same.

Pr. Peters writes about Rome, but the same is true of all who diverge from sola scriptura, whether Roman Catholic, Charismatic/Pentecostal, or liberal/progressive mainline Protestants. This is surely worth a careful read.
