John MacArthur: For the Authority of Scripture

August 6, 2015
The veracity and authority of Scripture is basic to the Christian faith, but it is not a "given" in the modern world. Not only is it directly attacked by skeptics inside and outside of the church, it is undermined by claims of authority for other alleged "holy books" such as the Qur'an and the Book of Mormon. In our skeptical and multicultural world, it is necessary for Christians to draw a line in the sand when the authority of Scripture is challenged.
