More quotes by R. C. Sproul
When people ask me to name the Ligonier teaching material they should use to help them grow I tell them, 'You should start with The Holiness of God.'
R. C. Sproul
I get irritated when I hear preachers say, Come to Jesus and all your problems will be over. That's just simply a lie.
R. C. Sproul
The issue of faith is not so much whether we believe in God, but whether we believe the God we believe in. (p.35)
R. C. Sproul
All that God had to do to harden Pharaoh's heart, or to harden your heart, is to withhold His own grace.
R. C. Sproul
Christ told his disciples not to be anxious about tomorrow, but he never said not to consider tomorrow. Intelligent problem solving demands careful consideration of the future effects of present solutions.
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
The resurrection was God the Father's way of authenticating all of the truths that were declared by Jesus.
R. C. Sproul
God is the foundation of all authority, He exercises that foundation because He is the author and the owner of His creation. He is the foundation upon which all other authority stands or falls.
R. C. Sproul
For the Arminian, salvation is possible for all but certain for none. In the Calvinist position, salvation is sure for God's elect.
R. C. Sproul
The Advent season is that time when we seek to, in a manner of speaking, mute our memory of what has already happened, that we might brighten our joy that it happened. We leave the already of His advent to taste the bitter of the not yet. We, in short, go back, that we might look forward to His coming.
R. C. Sproul
The more I learn about God, the more aware I become of what I don’t know about him.
R. C. Sproul
To focus our mind on the task at hand-with fierce concentration-m akes for a productive use of time.
R. C. Sproul
It's not the wickedness of the pagan that breaks my heart. It's the compromise of the Christian that grieves my soul.
R. C. Sproul
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
It is one thing to believe in God it is quite another to believe God.
R. C. Sproul
We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.
