9The theme that runs throughout GOD HAS SPOKEN relates the importance of establishing authority from God for our actions both individually, and collectively as the Lord's church. There are essays that explain why the Bible is authoritative, that discuss how to establish authority from scripture, and that apply those principles to our daily walk. The essays are of varying length, but each one can be easily read and digested in just a few minutes time. They are being shared in the hope they will assist in the reader in their understanding of the sublime word of God, and its application in their lives. "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen" (1 Timothy 1:17).
