true to its nature. The authority of the Bible comes from the Bible itself. We must begin with the beginning. Like it says in the Bible the beginning of all is with God. So with this we must begin with God himself. This is evident in Exodus 4:22 (New American Standard Bible), ‘…Thus says the Lord,’ and many other verses just like it.

I read this scripture the other day that reminded me to be a good example to others and to keep a servant's heart and mind. 1 Peter 5:2-4 says "2-Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers-not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; 3-not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4-And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will
