This is a point which I struggle with over here. Most churches with the exception of the former state church (Lutheran) are charismatic.

John MacArthur says in Charismatic Chaos that God no longer speaks today. His Word is closed. We have entered a period of silence much like the period between the testaments.

Brothers in church often (Weekly) say "God told me ____ ."

Where is the center of Biblical tension here?

In what sense does God speak (lead us) and in what sense does he no longer speak?
