Are We All Prophets?
We think prophecy means foretelling the future, but that's not really what it means in its religious sense. Prophecy means bearing the truth of God, speaking and teaching the Word of God. Prophets always stand out, because they seem extreme. In the Old Testament, there is a constant cycle in which the Jewish people are generally faithful, fall into sinfulness and then have to be called back to fidelity. That calling back was the role of the prophet. As baptized Christians, we share in the ministry of Jesus as priest, prophet and kind. In this show, Deacon Tim and Cyndi talk about the role of Christian prophets in the world today, and they identify some modern prophets.
