Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul

R. C. Sproul
For the Christian, every tragedy is ultimately a blessing, or God is a liar.
R. C. Sproul
God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.
R. C. Sproul
It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.
