Image
When God's justice falls, we are offended because we think God owes perpetual mercy. We must not take His grace for granted. We must never lose our capacity to be amazed by grace
R. C. Sproul
Image

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.

If you don’t delight in the fact that your Father is holy, holy, holy, then you are spiritually dead. You may be in a church. You may go to a Christian school. But if there is no delight in your soul for the holiness of God, you don’t know God. You don’t love God. You’re out of touch with God. You’re asleep to his character.

Preachers must always fight the temptation to preach anything but Christ and Him crucified.

Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The resurrection was God the Father's way of authenticating all of the truths that were declared by Jesus.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The grounds of your justification are the perfect works of Jesus Christ. We're saved by works, but they're not our own.

Image
If you don't know you're in a state of grace, then you're vulnerable to the paralysis of the accusations of the enemy.

The problem in the church today is not the profession of faith, but it's possession.

Image
A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.

No unborn baby has ever had the right to choose or deny its own destruction.

To call a Christian a theist is roughly equivalent to calling the space shuttle Atlantis a glider.
