Indifference to Scripture

Pastor Martin explores the corporate implications of Christ's prophetic office, especially in the realm of authority. Since Christ alone is the supreme prophet of His church, five enemies must be resolutely resisted: ignorance of the words of Christ (Matthew 22:29), indifference to the words of Christ (Hosea 8:12), unbelief (Luke 24:25), human tradition that negates God's commandment (Mark 7:8-9), and fanaticism that claims revelation beyond the closed canon. The whole application is intensely pastoral, grounding Trinity Baptist's commitment to systematic exposition, reading of Scripture, and progressive reform according to Scripture.
