There is a Reformed PCA author, who teaches at Westminster Theological Seminary, and who published a book with P&R Publishing. His name is Vern Poythress, and the book is Symphonic Theology.
The book includes a chapter which has a helpful Reformed view pertaining to the following:
In a previous thread, we went around in circles about cessationism. Certain persons argued that a miracle necessarily brings about new revelation, and thus miracles can no longer occur. I agreed that new revelation cannot occur, but disagreed that miracles necessarily carry fresh revelation. Thus, I am open to the possibility of the miraculous, even though I do not seek for it.
I have been reading Symphonic Theology. It has a chapter on miracles, and I think he makes his case quite well. He makes it clear that new canonical revelation does not occur. Nevertheless, he still leaves the door open for non-canonically-revelatory miracles.
You can read his entire book online, including his chapter on miracles.
I recommend reading Symphonic Theology before writing off any possibility of modern miracles.
