“A church without the authority of Scripture is like a crocodile
without teeth; it can open its mouth as wide and as often as it
likes—but who cares? Thankfully, God has given us His
inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word. His people can speak
with authority and boldness, and we can be confident we
have His instructions for our lives.” AnswersInGenesis.org
