I am fundamentally opposed to every change
in the faith and practice of the church
that will takes us farther away
from the Bible.
That's how conservative and orthodox I am.
But I am always in favor of any change
that will bring us closer in faith and life
to the Word of God.
That is how progressive I am ....
Just as fast as we get new light on
the Word and Will of God
we must change our practices
to suit it more fully.
