“Scripture is all that we need to be “outfitted” for the Christian life. Scripture is all we need for “righteousness.” Scripture is all that the church needs to faithfully serve and honor Christ and advance the kingdom. We do not need the world’s theories or methods. We do not need to mix Scripture with Stoic philosophy or neo-Marxist ideologies to arrive at godliness. We do not need to consult the latest marketing strategies to grow the church. In fact, if we seek to do so, we will fundamentally deny Scripture’s sufficiency. “The world has been crucified to me, and I to the world,” Paul said (Gal. 6:14). What we need is for a new generation to champion Scripture as the lifeblood of the Christian life with the same Apostolic vigor that Paul had. We do not need the world’s ideas for the Christian life; nor do we accept them. We stake everything on Scripture.”
