Sola Scriptura: Stop Building Towers

Mar 24, 2026    Stanton Petersen

Imagine standing at the very bottom of the Grand Canyon, looking straight up at the rim, and deciding you are going to jump to the top. It’s absurd, isn't it? No amount of effort, training, or positive thinking will get you there. Now, multiply that impossible distance by infinity. That is the actual gap between our human minds and the holy, perfect mind of God. Yet, throughout human history, we have been absolutely obsessed with trying to close that gap on our own terms. We are natural-born tower builders, exhausting ourselves trying to stack up enough good deeds or clever philosophies to finally reach the heavens.
