The notion of the enduring authority focuses on the fact that some people think that notions like authority of Scripture's is passรฉ, while others say that the present configuration of the doctrine of inerrancy is a late addition. And to both we want to say, No we're talking about the enduring authority of Scripture, grounded first and foremost in its relevatory status, something given by God and utterly reliable.
D. A. CarsonSin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.
D. A. CarsonWe want to fan the flames of Christians for whom inerrancy and the authority of Scripture are not mere shibboleths, but part of her life beat, part of the beating heart of what makes them tick. They revere Scripture, not because Scripture becomes an idol, but because it discloses God who is especially come after us in salvation and redemption through the person of his son, his cross, his resurrection, the full sweep of the gospel.
D. A. CarsonWhat the Bible says is what God has disclosed and we want to approach this sacred text with cognitive reverence.
D. A. CarsonYou cannot find excellent corporate worship until you stop trying to find excellent corporate worship and pursue God himself.
D. A. CarsonJesus is hungry but feeds others; He grows weary but offers others rest; He is the King Messiah but pays tribute; He is called the devil but casts out demons; He dies the death of a sinner but comes to save His people from their sins; He is sold for thirty pieces of silver but gives His life a ransom for many; He will not turn stones to bread for Himself but gives His own body as bread for people.
