R. C. Sproul quotes about
God is not blind; neither is He capricious. For Him there are no accidents. With God there are no cases of chance events.
We persevere because we are preserved by our High Priest's intercession.
If the being of God ceased for one second, the universe would disappear.
We prefer the shadows where we feel safe over the light which exposes us and causes us to say 'woe is me!'
The problem in the church today is not the profession of faith, but it's possession.
For a work to be considered good it must not only conform outwardly to the law of God, but it must be motivated inwardly by a sincere love for God.
We are not doomed to an ultimate conflict with no hope of resolution. The message of the Scripture is one of victory - full, final and ultimate victory. It is not our doom that is certain, but Satan's. His head has been crushed by the heel of Christ, who is the Alpha and Omega.
We live in what may be the most anti-intellectual period in the history of Western civilization.
Why would the disciples invent a God whose holiness was more terrifying than the forces of nature that provoked them to invent a god in the first place?
There's probably no concept in theology more repugnant to modern America than the idea of divine wrath.
Without God upholding the universe from moment to moment, nothing could continue to be.
What higher approval could a person enjoy than to know that what he or she has done is pleasing to God?
When you feel depressed, it helps to actively change your environment. Go and do something different. Martin Luther conquered his depression by going outside to work in his garden. Surprisingly enough, one of the best ways to handle depression is to go to work immediately on the task you least enjoy. (The chances are your depression is caused by guilt feelings arising out of neglect of those tasks.)
Even the slightest sin is an act of cosmic treason.
