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
Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?
R. C. Sproul
Regeneration is a work of the omnipotent power of God, power that nothing can overcome or resist.
R. C. Sproul
The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.

R. C. Sproul
If God did not act first, no one would be saved.
R. C. Sproul
Hope is called the anchor of the soul because it gives stability to the Christian life. But hope is not simply a 'wish' I wish that such-and-such would take place rather, it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made.
