Defending Your Field of Lentils

We have heard many messages about being under authority, but what about being in authority? What is it Christ used His authority to do? What supreme, overarching mission made Him so effective, so different, as a leader?

Without application doctrines can become mere philosophies, but without doctrine applications often becomes purposeless. From his unique standpoint as an IBLP alumnus and a pastor, Joe Norvell tries to bring clarity to the way doctrines and principles work together.
