I’ve often wondered where Jesus would apply His hastily made whip if He were to visit our culture. My guess is that it would not be money-changing tables in the temple that would feel His wrath, but the display racks in Christian bookstores.

The one place where the Christian can be naked without fear is in the presence of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
Image
A loving God who has no wrath is no God. He is an idol of our own making as much as if we carved Him out of stone.
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.

The question is not, Why is there only one way to God? but Why is there even one way?
R. C. Sproul
Image
Once we are reconciled to God, the estrangement is over, the hostilities have ended, and the peace is sealed for eternity.

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
Image
We are cosmic traitors. We must recognize this problem within ourselves if we are to grasp the necessity of the cross.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The clearest sensation that a human being has when he experiences the holy is an overpowering and overwhelming sense of creatureliness. That is, when we are in the presence of God, we are humbled and become most aware of ourselves as creatures. This is the opposite of Satan's original temptation, You shall be as gods.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The whole basis for our relationship with God is rooted and grounded in grace, in that which is not earned.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Any conception of a god that is less than sovereign is an idol and no god at all.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The atonement is a multifaceted event-Jesus is shown providing surety for our debt to God, mediating the enmity between us and God, and offering Himself as a substitute to suffer God's judgment in our place.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Doctrine divides, but doctrine also unites. It binds together the hearts of God's people who celebrate the truth of God together.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The Bible alone is the only authority that can bind the conscience of a person absolutely because it is the only authority that carries with it the intrinsic authority of God Himself.
R. C. Sproul
Image
If there ever was a time when absolutely nothing existed, all there could possibly be now is nothing.
R. C. Sproul
Image
I had actually gone to a church-related college, but I went on a football scholarship, not because of any interest in the church.

Image
We take comfort, however, that mystery is not a synonym for contradiction.
R. C. Sproul
Image
We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.
R. C. Sproul
Image
We persevere because we are preserved by our High Priest's intercession.
