It is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to correct it. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God, nothing could be more arrogant. It is God who corrects us; we don’t correct Him. We do not stand over God but under Him.

As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.

If there is one maverick molecule in all the universe, then God is not sovereign. And if God is not sovereign, He is not God.

Without God man has no reference point to define himself. 20th century philosophy manifests the chaos of man seeking to understand himself as a creature with dignity while having no reference point for that dignity.

In the decade of the 1980s, a massive and comprehensive study of religion in American life was undertaken by the Gallup organization. The results of the study were as terrifying as they were revealing. Americans, even evangelical Americans, are woefully ignorant of the content of Scripture and even more ignorant of the history of Christianity and classical Christian theology.

Only God can provide us with an eternal perspective and speak to us with absolute and final authority.

God doesn't need our consent in order to govern us; He made us.
