R. C. Sproul quotes about
Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
God did not die. The God who took on Himself a human nature died in His humanity, but the deity did not perish on the cross.
Loving a holy God is beyond our moral power. The only kind of God we can love by our sinful nature is an unholy god, an idol made by our own hands. Unless we are born of the Spirit of God, unless God sheds His holy love in our hearts, unless He stoops in His grace to change our hearts, we will not love Him... To love a holy God requires grace, grace strong enough to pierce our hardened hearts and awaken our moribund souls.
The Word of God can be in the mind without being in the heart; but it cannot be in the heart without first being in the mind.
Right now counts forever.
God not only initiated my salvation, He not only sowed the seed, but He made sure that that seed germinated in my heart by regenerating me by the power of the Holy Ghost.
To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.
I think the greatest weakness in the church today is that almost no one believes that God invests His power in the Bible. Everyone is looking for power in a program, in a methodology, in a technique, in anything and everything but that in which God has placed it—His Word. He alone has the power to change lives for eternity, and that power is focused on the Scriptures.
Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.
To solve a marriage problem, you have to talk with each other about it, choosing wisely the time and place. But when accusations and lengthy speeches of defense fill the dialogue, the partners are not talking to each other but past each other. Take care to listen more than you speak. If you still can't agree on a solution, consider asking a third party, without a vested interest, to mediate.
God doesn't need our consent in order to govern us; He made us.
It is one thing to believe in God; it is quite another to believe God.
We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.
