Speaking Truth to Power
Manage episode 453001042 series 106783
A prophet is not someone who predicts the future. A prophet is a person, religious or not, who accurately describes the present, even if no one wants to hear it. There is a saying in journalism that says journalism happens when you publish something that someone doesn’t want published. Everything else is just advertising. The ancient prophets were the ones who could speak truth to the monarchy, to the priesthood, and to the marketplace, especially when they didn’t want to hear it. We don’t have many prophetic preachers in our day but even worse, we don’t have many prophetic congregations that are willing to stand up to a culture that has lost its way. As the old proverb goes, only dead fish always swim with the current!
