Worship is not simply a feeling that is experienced it must also involve understanding and the mind.
R. C. Sproul
Image
I rest solely in His righteousness and in His atonement because I know there is nothing I can do to make up for my own iniquity.

A married person does not live in isolation. He or she has made a promise, a pledge, a vow, to another person. Until that vow is fulfilled and the promise is kept, the individual is in debt to his marriage partner. That is what he owes. 'You owe it to yourself' is not a valid excuse for breaking a marriage vow but a creed of selfishness.

Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.
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.

Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Even the slightest sin is an act of cosmic treason.

Image
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
Image
If the being of God ceased for one second, the universe would disappear.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
