Notable Quotes:

"The Scriptures have the authority to pronounce truth because God is its author – it is written by the very source of truth. It is out of God’s very nature. Therefore, because God is Creator, He has all authority. God’s Word has all authority out of virtue of who He is and what He has done."

"The Bible is God’s very speech. The simple fact is: what God says supersedes what everyone else has to say."

"Our allegiance to the Bible is a direct reflection of our allegiance to God."

"Truth is truth whether we experience it or not. Therefore, the Lord does not need our experience to validate His Word."

“Want to hear God speak? Open your Bible.” 

"The doctrine of the authority of Scripture is rooted in the doctrine of God; as God is true and trustworthy, so is his word recorded in the Scriptures. This means that all things that the Scriptures assert are wholly true. "
