All of us are aware that our culture does not believe in absolute truth. Many base their lives on their own ideas, opinions, and feelings. But these are no substitute for the revelation of God in His Word. At Calvary, we are unwavering in our commitment to the inspiration and inerrancy of Holy Scripture, which makes us wise unto salvation. It is also essential for our spiritual growth (2 Timothy 3:14–17).
So let us give ourselves to the reading, memorizing, and obeying of Holy Scripture. My calling is to glorify God through the exposition of His Holy Word. So bring your Bible when you come to Calvary. Our authority is not our traditions or feelings but God’s Word.
“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” — Isaiah 40:8
