Dr. Joe Spoke, and We Listened

Dr. Joe Morecraft gave our first keynote of the evening tonight, making the case that Scripture is sufficient for all of life. Of course, this very claim demanded that he use Scripture itself to do so.

Starting with Deuteronomy 4, which forbids adding to or taking away anything from the Word of God, he went on from passage to passage.

At one level, the answer to whether Scripture is sufficient to rule us is a simple question: What better standard can there be? If not this standard, what standard? “The Bible is divinely authoritative on everything about which it speaks, and it speaks about everything.”

Joe is a man that is filled with the Holy Spirit and preaches passionately. So I was not surprised to see tears in his eyes as he prayed in closing that all of his listeners would walk away dedicated to tell the whole world about Jesus Christ and His sufficient Word – until the knowledge of God covers the earth as the waters cover the sea.
