The standard against which our faith and practice will be measured is truth. We’ll find no refuge in the prevailing orthodoxies of our time. The danger of religious fundamentalism is that it blinds its adherents to this distinction between prevailing orthodoxy & objective truth.
That’s why fundamentalists can see no difference between rejecting God’s Word and rejecting what they say about God’s Word.
That’s why fundamentalists in the SBC are so resistant to institutional reform: once we look beyond what’s good according to the established order and inquire into the goodness of the established order, moral authority shifts away from ambitious men and toward the truth itself.
