Sola Scriptura: The Breathed Word
Feb 23, 2026 • Stanton Petersen
In the spring of 1521, a lone monk named Martin Luther stood before the most powerful men in the world. He was told to take back everything he had written or face the stake. Most of us would have crumbled under that kind of pressure. But Luther didn’t. He looked them in the eye and said, "My conscience is captive to the Word of God... Here I stand." We might ask ourselves, where do you get that kind of courage? It doesn't come from self-confidence or a "new spiritual experience." In fact, our scripture tells us that it comes from knowing exactly where the Bible originates from. Today, we’re looking at the source of our strength: the source of the Word.
