Episode notes
Waiting Is Part Of God's Timing
- Waiting is a normal and frequent feature in biblical narratives, not a sign of personal failure.
- Greg Koukl reminds listeners that God's timing differs from ours and waiting can be part of God's purpose.
Prophecy And Word Of Knowledge Exist Biblically
- Prophetic words and 'word of knowledge' appear in Scripture and can be genuine gifts.
- Greg Koukl acknowledges biblical precedent but warns they require careful evaluation.
Treat Prophecy With Healthy Skepticism
- Be skeptical of modern prophetic claims and observe whether predicted outcomes occur.
- Greg Koukl recommends waiting to see if the prophecy proves accurate before assigning credibility.
