I've been told that I can be a party-pooper and I've often tried to speak a "prophetic word" from the pulpit. Not in the sense of telling the future, but in the sense of speaking of the things the prophets spoke about. You can imagine my joy at reading this quote from Sojourner's "Voice of the Day" feature:
"Prophets are, by their nature, inconvenient party-poopers. It is a mistaken notion that prophets can see the future. Rather, they tell us what is true right now."Thomas Cahill via Sojourners
