R. C. Sproul
When we behold the face of God, all memories of pain and suffering will vanish. Our souls shall be totally healed.
R. C. Sproul
If the being of God ceased for one second, the universe would disappear.

To focus our mind on the task at hand-with fierce concentration-m akes for a productive use of time.
R. C. Sproul
Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. It seems insane. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was a perfect love, a transcendent and holy love, but HIs very love brought trauma to people. This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it.
R. C. Sproul
The clearest sensation that a human being has when he experiences the holy is an overpowering and overwhelming sense of creatureliness. That is, when we are in the presence of God, we are humbled and become most aware of ourselves as creatures. This is the opposite of Satan's original temptation, You shall be as gods.
R. C. Sproul
The more I learn about God, the more aware I become of what I don’t know about him.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
God is the foundation of all authority, He exercises that foundation because He is the author and the owner of His creation. He is the foundation upon which all other authority stands or falls.
R. C. Sproul
I do not want to drive across a bridge designed by an engineer who believed the numbers in structural stress models are relative truths.
R. C. Sproul
In His tender mercies, God has an incredible capacity to love the unlovely.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
Confession should be a daily activity for the Christian, whose entire pilgrimage is characterized by the spirit of repentance.
R. C. Sproul
Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.
R. C. Sproul
Once we are reconciled to God, the estrangement is over, the hostilities have ended, and the peace is sealed for eternity.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
The supreme form of cursedness is for the Lord to turn His back on you and bring judgment on you.
R. C. Sproul
No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.
R. C. Sproul
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.
