R. C. Sproul quotes about
God is not going to negotiate His holiness... in order to accommodate us.
The cross was a glorious outworking of the grace of God, by which the Father commissioned the Son to make full satisfaction so that sinners might be saved with no sacrifice of God’s justice.
When there’s something in the Word of God that I don’t like, the problem is not with the Word of God, it’s with me.
The pursuit of God is not a part-time, weekend exercise. If it is, chances are you will experience a part-time, weekend freedom. Abiding requires a kind of staying power. The pursuit is relentless. It hungers and thirsts. It pants as the deer after the mountain brook. It takes the kingdom by storm...The pursuit of God is a pursuit of passion. Indifference will not do. To abide in the Word is to hang on tenaciously. A weak grip will soon slip away. Discipleship requires staying power. We sign up for duration. We do not graduate until heaven.
A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.
God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.
We live in age of compromise, but if we stand on the bedrock of God’s truth, we will not bend with the winds of relativism and faithlessness.
Doctrine divides, but doctrine also unites. It binds together the hearts of God's people who celebrate the truth of God together.
I don't always feel His presence. But God's promises do not depend upon my feelings; they rest upon His integrity.
If you are of the truth, if you have learned the truth, if you see the sanctity of the truth, then speak truth. We are not called to be deceivers or liars. God is a God of truth, and His people are called to have an enormously high standard of truth.
Once we are reconciled to God, the estrangement is over, the hostilities have ended, and the peace is sealed for eternity.
To be conformed to this world is to risk the loss of one’s eternal soul.
All that God had to do to harden Pharaoh's heart, or to harden your heart, is to withhold His own grace.
Doctrine does matter.
