Subtle Ways to Abandon the Authority of Scripture

Even while committed to God’s Word, pastors may be influenced indirectly to reduce their trust in the authority of the Scriptures. In this session, D. A. Carson gives examples of how this can occur, the dangers it represents to Gospel ministry, and strategies that pastors can employ to meet these challenges effectively. As Christian ministers hold fast to biblical truth and communicate it to their congregations, the difference between God’s truth and worldly viewpoints is made clear and the church is edified.

    every pastor should be required to watch this. In fact, this is one of the most relevant videos I've heard on Youtube.
  • I am so very challenged by DA Carson. I appreciate him and praise the Lord for his work and dedication.
  • I thoroughly enjoy sound preaching, may the Lord bring up more the next generation of Pastor/teachers, missionaries, evangelists, and theologians. D.A. Carson is a dear brother may the Lord strengthen and keep him in his labors for the King!

    Outstanding! This is a strong foundation for overcoming our worlds think. And getting on track with following the truth.
  • Pastors in my Seventh Day Adventist Church have two obvious strains regarding their personal style in teaching about the law and how to look at the Catholic Church. Which historically the church has taken the position the Reformers did, namely that it is the Beast power in Revelation and Daniel. The Pastor's which emphasis obedience to the decalogue less rigidly tend to be less critical of the Vatican and those who rail about it are more likely to be converted men who can see the distinction and danger more readily. Having had an outside look in. Very insightful lecture.

    Lord, thank you for DACarson

    Thank you for causing me to work out some things and use my mind to consider how I handle the Word Of God and if My own bent has had an impact on the Truth. Excellent teaching .
  • DA Carson is great as always. Good insight into subtle ways of leaving the Word of God. Thanks for your thoughts and bringing to light issues that are easy to miss, pride seems to be at the heart of many of them. Praise be to God for His word.

    Wow! You could hear a pin drop! Love this! Oh, how I pray every person in that audience left there with a deep conviction to exalt the whole counsel of God. If you want to see just how pervasive this is - look up the Ray Boltz interview and then read the comment section. "You cannot evangelize people you don't love". So true! People aren't dumb - they know when you're just acting as a salesman. Don't know who said it but it's true - "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care".
  • How many of the pastors have any discernment regarding their congregation secret lives, outside the church. How many sit quietly in their pews. How many feel energised by the rituals and the sacrements and not the gospel truths about themselves.

    Can someone explain the difference between "biblical theology" and "systematic theology" for me? Thank you so much for this message!!
  • Is the gospel not also the word of God? ~27:15 I know the gospels are only a few books, but it's not part of the word of God? Isn't the whole bible the word of God? Thank you for helping

    I know a very different Alistair Begg. Mistaken identity? Two very different men with the same name? Wrong name in this video authorship box?
