We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite.
R. C. Sproul

We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.

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.

It is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to correct it.

A Christian is not a skeptic. A Christian is a person with a burning heart, a heart set aflame with certainty of the resurrection.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.
R. C. Sproul
Image
A holy God is both just and merciful. He is never unjust.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The issue of faith is not so much whether we believe in God, but whether we believe the God we believe in. (p.35)

Image
If Christ could make a complaint, it would be, My bride never talks to me.

Image
Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.

Image
Burning hearts are not nourished by empty heads

The very heart of worship, as the Bible makes clear, is the business of expressing, from the depths of our spirits, the highest possible honor we can offer before God.

In Christian marriage, love is not an option. It is a duty.

Without the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.
