Sola Scriptura - The Mystery of Inspiration
Feb 25, 2026 • Stanton Petersen
Imagine there is an old boat sitting in the middle of an ocean. It has a rudder, a hull, and massive white sails, but it isn’t going anywhere. It’s "dead in the water." But then, winds begins to blow. The sails snap tight, the wood creaks, and the ship begins to move and cut through the waves. The ship is moving, but it isn’t the ship providing the power—it’s the wind. This is the exact imagery the Apostle Peter uses to describe how your Bible was written. Using this imagery, He wanted to show how a book written by men, with all their different personalities and styles, could be the perfect, errorless Word of God? The answer is found in the "Wind."
