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.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The one place where the Christian can be naked without fear is in the presence of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
Image
The Word of God can be in the mind without being in the heart but it cannot be in the heart without first being in the mind.

Image
We talk about predestination because the Bible talks about predestination. If we desire to build our theology on the Bible, we run head on into this concept. We soon discover that John Calvin did not invent it.

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.

We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about.

A married person does not live in isolation. He or she has made a promise, a pledge, a vow, to another person. Until that vow is fulfilled and the promise is kept, the individual is in debt to his marriage partner. That is what he owes. 'You owe it to yourself' is not a valid excuse for breaking a marriage vow but a creed of selfishness.

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.

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.

Your personal testimony, however meaningful it is to you, is not the gospel.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Sin is not simply making bad choices or mistakes. Sin is having the desire in our hearts to do the will of the enemy of God.

We persevere because we are preserved by our High Priest's intercession.

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
Every sin is an act of cosmic treason, a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority.

Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?

Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.

Whenever I read the psalms, I feel like I am eavesdropping on a saint having a personal conversation with God.
