The practical problem that all senous - minded people have to settle Is: Out of all the many voices that claim to be speaking for God, how can I tell which really are voices for God’ To name only a few, there are the Pope, and Dr. Foreman Mary Baker Eddy, and Joseph Smith, and Billy Graham, and Oral Roberts, and the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the Vocal pieacher, and maybe your mother-in-law, all laying claim, one way or an other to be telling you exactly what God wants you to do Theie weie, and there still aie, true prophets and false How do we know which is which 7 How can we tell the genuine voices for God 7 A Strange Story Back in t*e Old Testament there does not contiadict the voice of Is a strange incident about an old God Now Eh did not have oui man and a young boy.

Yet one morn- it had come to his forefathers in ing the boy came to the man and the Ten Commandments What gave him a terrible message, a Samuel told him was exactly in message which, he said, God had line with what Eli must have un told him to take to the old man dei stood to bo the genuine voice Eh It was one of the most horn- 0 f God We today have a much fymg predictions that could come fullei and cleaiei levelation than to a man Yet after Eli had heaid Eli had, in ou.
