Roger E. Olson, “The Prophethood of Every Believer” Patheos (November 13, 2018).
“Every Christian church ought to encourage every Christian to speak God’s Word, as he or she hears it, and give him or her a platform (metaphorically speaking) for expressing that message. Every mature Christian ought to speak out in some forum, in some form, about injustices among the church and/or secular rulers. When the prophetic ‘forthtelling’ message is given to the congregation, the elders (whether called that or not) ought to discern prayerfully whether it is from God. When it is given to the secular rulers only the priesthood of the believer prevents the prophet’s congregation from interfering even if they disagree with the message.”
