Taking a stand for Scripture is taking a stand for - not against - authority.

Taking a stand often leaves you feeling alone. It doesn’t always win you friends and might even make some enemies. But if an idea is both true and profoundly important, those who take a stand for it have a bond that nothing can break. This week, we turn our attention to the stand Lutherans take on “Scripture alone.” Following the pattern set by Jesus, the inspired and recorded Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the sole source of truth for our faith. By submitting to their authority, we place ourselves under the wisdom and care of the God who gave them to us.
