Defending and Declaring the Faith

My friend and colleague Rev. Scott Nichols, over at Random Responses, does a fine job in obeying 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear." In an interview for the Calcedon Foundation, he sets forth clearly the biblical prescription for renewing and restoring the RCA: discipline, the restoration of biblical authority, and bringing the seminaries back into the orthodox fold. Here's a quote from the article:

"Once you give away Biblical authority, pretty much anything goes. Pragmatism always leads to a dilution of doctrine."
