God Speaks

Oh yes, he's our God, ... drop everything and listen, listen as he speaks.
Psalm 95: 7-8, The Message

"The Scriptures are a mixed blessing because the moment the words are written they are in danger of losing the living resonance of the spoken word and reduced to something that is looked at, studied, interpreted, but not heard personally. ...

God speaks, declaring his creation and his salvation so that we might believe, that is, trustingly participate in his creation of us, his salvation of us. The intent of revelation is not to inform us about God but to involve us in God."
