    The Written Word Of God Versus Fresh Revelation

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 16, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,119 views

    There are those who believe that the 66 books of the Bible are not enough, so they continuously look for fresh revelation through private prophetic words, dreams, or visions for a more meaningful personal experiential relationship with God.

    I consistently hear from those who want to justify that experiential special/fresh revelation supersedes what is written in the Bible because the “books” of the New Testament were not compiled until after 324 AD. Therefore, because the Disciples in the first century had to rely on hearing the ...read more

    God calls us to honest, wholehearted integrity—living openly before Him and others—because true freedom and joy are found in sincerity, not in appearances.

It invites us to sit still, to listen closely, and to remember that God cares about what we hold in our hands and what we hide in our ...read more
