One point must remain
perpetually clear: The Holy Spirit will
never direct us contrary to the Word of
God. Thus the fundamental concern for
the believer is to understand the Word
of God as the only reality and
reliability. The Bible is the only
resolve that instills a pure ambition
for the glory of God. Walking in the
Light of God's Word is the only way to
be competent for the Glory of God.
Sincerely, Dr.
