Some men assume that all that was done by their predecessors or successors was ill-advised, poor judgment and so on. Such arrogancy is not becoming of servants of God. On the other hand, there is a trend which is current, to undermine the Biblical authority of the office of a pastor. The role of a pastor carries Biblical responsibiltity, accountability, and qualifications, therefore, that respect and honor must be earned. This being so, there is need today for revival of Biblical authority.
Authority is the corollary to verbal inspiration and sufficiency is the corollary to authority.
Problems are created by carnality, not spirituality. No Christian should hold a brief for ignorance or look on learning with contempt. Every child of God should desire to be a tool sharpened and prepared for the Master's use. One ought never settle for second best in the service of Christ. On the other hand, our sufficiency is of God.
