sermonette: Prophecy Fails

Keeping Prophecy in the Proper Perspective
Richard T. Ritenbaugh
Given 05-Apr-03; Sermon #604s; 18 minutes

Description: (hide)

Prophecy appears to be the tool by which God drew many into the church. Besides providing a bulwark to our faith, it also provides a motivation or stimulus to overcoming. Despite its prominence in scripture, it is not as important as doctrine and Christian living (especially overcoming). We need to realize that our understanding of prophecy (except in those areas already fulfilled) is speculative, tentative, and subject to revision. Although the general outline may have been accurate, we have to be extremely careful where we hang current events on this skeletal frame. The source of God's prophetic words is the Bible itself, and not what men (not even God's ministers or apostles) interpret. Our most important objective, in this context, is to get back to perfecting godly love and character.
