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
Image
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.
R. C. Sproul
Image
We take comfort, however, that mystery is not a synonym for contradiction.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Satan can do only what the sovereign God allows him to do.
R. C. Sproul
Image
There are many today who believe that there are people running around this world right now who are performing greater miracles, performing miracles in greater abundance, and actually doing more incredible acts of divine healing than Jesus himself did. I can't think of any more serious delusion than that.

Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.

Image
When God writes our names in the 'Lamb's Book of Life' He doesn't do it with an eraser handy. He does it for eternity.

Image
Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.
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
Was Luther crazy? Perhaps. But if he was, our prayer is that God would send to this earth an epidemic of such insanity that we too may taste of the righteousness that is by faith alone.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Faith is the means by which the righteousness of Christ is given to us.
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.
R. C. Sproul
Image
Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.
R. C. Sproul
Image
When God's justice falls, we are offended because we think God owes perpetual mercy. We must not take His grace for granted. We must never lose our capacity to be amazed by grace
R. C. Sproul
Image
The presumptuous sin of Uzzah was that He assumed his hands were less polluted than the dirt.

Image
It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.
R. C. Sproul
Image
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
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
Image
When one encounters truth, one encounters the God whose truth it is.

Image
Dead men do not cooperate with grace. Unless regeneration takes place first, there is no possibility of faith.
