Image
The presumptuous sin of Uzzah was that He assumed his hands were less polluted than the dirt.

R. C. Sproul
Image
It's dangerous to assume that because a man is drawn to holiness in his study that he is thereby a holy man. I am sure that the reason that I have a deep hunger to learn of the holiness of God is precisely because I am not holy.
R. C. Sproul
Image
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
Image
This little expression, 'It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere,' is a monstrous lie.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The more seriously we understand the radical nature of sin, the more it exercises a restraint upon us.
R. C. Sproul
Image
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.

Image
The question is not, Why is there only one way to God? but Why is there even one way?
R. C. Sproul
Image
There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.

Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.
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.
