More quotes by R. C. Sproul
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.
R. C. Sproul
We prefer the shadows where we feel safe over the light which exposes us and causes us to say 'woe is me!'
R. C. Sproul
If you don't know you're in a state of grace, then you're vulnerable to the paralysis of the accusations of the enemy.
R. C. Sproul
There's probably no concept in theology more repugnant to modern America than the idea of divine wrath.
R. C. Sproul
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
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 believe it to be one of the most important discipleship resources we have produced at Ligonier.

Sin is cosmic treason
R. C. Sproul
Whenever I read the psalms, I feel like I am eavesdropping on a saint having a personal conversation with God.
R. C. Sproul
There is not one piece of cosmic dust that is outside the scope of God's sovereign providence.
R. C. Sproul
The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.
R. C. Sproul
The promises of God for tomorrow are the anchor for believers today.
R. C. Sproul
Hope is called the anchor of the soul because it gives stability to the Christian life. But hope is not simply a 'wish' I wish that such-and-such would take place rather, it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made.
R. C. Sproul
Nothing could be more irrational than the idea that something comes from nothing.
R. C. Sproul
Genuine love for Jesus manifests itself in obedience to His commandments.
R. C. Sproul
The moment we think we deserve mercy a little alarm bell should go off in our head because we are not talking about mercy anymore but justice.
R. C. Sproul
If ever there were a time there was nothing, there would be nothing now.
R. C. Sproul
If you take away the cross as an atoning act, you take away Christianity.
R. C. Sproul
No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.
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.
