More quotes by R. C. Sproul
Jesus' life was a storm of controversy. The apostles, like the prophets before them, could hardly go a day without controversy. Paul said that he debated daily in the marketplace. To avoid controversy is to avoid Christ. We can have peace, but it is a servile and carnal peace where truth is slain in the streets.
R. C. Sproul
In every age the church is threatened by heresy, and heresy is bound up in false doctrine. It is the desire of all heretics to minimize the importance of doctrine. When doctrine is minimized, heresy can exercise itself without restraint.
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
Scripture does not say that God is 'love, love, love' or that He is 'wrath, wrath, wrath,' but that He is 'holy, holy, holy.'
R. C. Sproul
The grand difference between a human being and a Supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God I cannot exist apart from me God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be. I do need God in order for me to be. We are dependent. We are fragile. This is how we differ from God.
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.
R. C. Sproul
Satan can do only what the sovereign God allows him to do.
R. C. Sproul
If the final decision for the salvation of fallen sinners were left in the hands of fallen sinners, we would despair all hope that anyone would be saved.
R. C. Sproul
Worship is not simply a feeling that is experienced it must also involve understanding and the mind.
R. C. Sproul
The failure of modern evangelicalism is the failure to understand the holiness of God.
R. C. Sproul
I can’t make the Bible come alive for anyone. The Bible is already alive. It makes me come alive.
R. C. Sproul
Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.
R. C. Sproul
Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.
R. C. Sproul
Your personal testimony, however meaningful it is to you, is not the gospel.
R. C. Sproul
Faith is the means by which the righteousness of Christ is given to us.
R. C. Sproul
Regeneration is a work of the omnipotent power of God, power that nothing can overcome or resist.
R. C. Sproul
By His life, death, and resurrection, our Savior has conquered our enemies, and by His Spirit He has granted us to share in the victory.
R. C. Sproul
The only reason why I'm a Christian is because I'm a gift of the Father to the Son, not because of anything I've ever done.
R. C. Sproul
Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
R. C. Sproul
I had actually gone to a church-related college, but I went on a football scholarship, not because of any interest in the church.
