By What Standard?

from Altars and Ashes Podcast · host Austin W Tucker, B.D. Fleming, and Robbie Stringer

Everybody submits to an authority. Some trust the experts. Others trust their feelings, their traditions, or whatever the crowd decided this morning. Even the man who says, “I think for myself,” has placed somebody on the throne. The question is which authority gets your knee. Join B.D. Fleming, Austin Tucker, and Robbie Stringer as we examine the authority beneath every worldview. We tackle autonomous reason, the difference between science and scientism, the limits of personal experience, and the place of tradition. Reason is a gift. Experience matters. Experts deserve a hearing. But none of them gets to sit in judgment over the God who made us. Scripture is the standard by which every claim must be tested, including the claims we desperately want to believe. That reaches into our marriages, our classrooms, our politics, and the way we raise our children. If your Bible never corrects you, you’ve probably trained it to repeat you. “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20 (KJV) God has spoken.
