God Is Still Speaking

“God is still speaking,” [sic]

So says the United Church of Christ (UCC). I would agree. God is still speaking. The question is: What is He saying?

The UCC believes that God is still speaking new revelation—revelation that contradicts what He has formerly said in His Holy Word. And so they began a new campaign/initiative in 2003: “Never place a period where God has placed a comma,” [sic]

The problem with such a campaign is that a “comma” allows you to add to God’s Word and believe whatever you want to believe, despite what God has revealed in His holy and inerrant Word. But God doesn’t use a “comma.” He uses a “period.” He identifies black and white, right and wrong. That “period” is His holy Word—the sixty-six books of Old and New Testament Scriptures.

• For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. [2 Peter 1:21]
• Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you and you be found a liar. [Proverbs 30:6]
• I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. [Revelation 22:18-19]

How, then, is God still speaking? Through His holy Word. Period!

• Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. [Psalm 119:105]
• The sum of Your word is truth. [Psalm 119:160]
• “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” [John 8:31-32]
• “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” [John 17:17]

So, the next time you see a large “comma” or hear the phrase “God is still speaking,” remember this:

God is still speaking.

And He is still saying the exact same thing!
