GPS: God's Positioning System (A Study of Authority)

A GPS shows where you are and where you need to be. Long before satellites, God gave His people a point of reference for spiritual navigation: the Bible.

GPS: God's Positioning System is a 12-lesson Courageous Living workbook by Wilson Adams on Bible authority.

How This Study Helps

Many believers sincerely want to please God but have never learned how to establish what the Bible authorizes. Without that, questions about worship, the church's work, and leadership come down to preference.

This study starts with the inspiration of the Bible and how to establish Bible authority, then applies those principles to restoring New Testament Christianity, a cappella singing, first-day giving, the gospel versus the social gospel, local church leadership, and the roles and worth of women.
