R. C. Sproul quotes about
People need a consistent explanation of the cross of Christ and what it accomplished. Christ's atoning work is the centerpiece of the gospel and the only solution for humanity's estrangement from our Creator.
Why do bad things happen to good people? That only happened once and He volunteered.
One can have knowledge without having wisdom, but one cannot have wisdom without having knowledge.
Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.
What better evidence could there be of a man's salvation than that he offers to others the grace he himself has received?
The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.
It is one thing to believe in God; it is quite another to believe God.
When God writes our names in the 'Lamb's Book of Life' He doesn't do it with an eraser handy. He does it for eternity.
Without the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.
I believe it to be one of the most important discipleship resources we have produced at Ligonier.
The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
It is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to correct it. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God, nothing could be more arrogant. It is God who corrects us; we don’t correct Him. We do not stand over God but under Him.
It’s dangerous to assume that because a person is drawn to holiness in his study that he is thereby a holy man. There is irony here. I am sure that the reason I have a deep hunger to learn of the holiness of God is precisely because I am not holy. I am a profane man—a man who spends more time out of the temple than in it. But I have had just enough of a taste of the majesty of God to want more. I know what it means to be a forgiven man and what it means to be sent on a mission. My soul cries for more. My soul needs more.
