The Bible alone is the only authority that can bind the conscience of a person absolutely because it is the only authority that carries with it the intrinsic authority of God Himself.

Image
Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.

Image
The Bible never tells us to take a blind leap of faith into the darkness and hope that there's somebody out there. The Bible calls us to jump out of the darkness and into the light. That is not a blind leap. The faith that the New Testament calls us to is a faith rooted and grounded in something that God makes clear is the truth.

Image
A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.

Image
For the Christian, every tragedy is ultimately a blessing, or God is a liar.

R. C. Sproul
Image
We are puzzled and bewildered whenever we see suffering in this world because we have become accustomed to the mercy and the long-suffering of God. Amazing grace is no longer amazing to us.

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
Scripture does not say that God is 'love, love, love' or that He is 'wrath, wrath, wrath,' but that He is 'holy, holy, holy.'

Image
To call a Christian a theist is roughly equivalent to calling the space shuttle Atlantis a glider.

Image
What higher approval could a person enjoy than to know that what he or she has done is pleasing to God?
R. C. Sproul
Image
It is one thing to fall victim to the flood or to fall prey to cancer it is another thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
R. C. Sproul
Image
If you don’t delight in the fact that your Father is holy, holy, holy, then you are spiritually dead. You may be in a church. You may go to a Christian school. But if there is no delight in your soul for the holiness of God, you don’t know God. You don’t love God. You’re out of touch with God. You’re asleep to his character.

Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He is the Seeker we are the ones who are running.

Image
Nothing could be more irrational than the idea that something comes from nothing.
R. C. Sproul
Image
No sinner has the right to say with impunity, 'God you owe me grace.' If grace is owed, it is not grace. The very essence of grace is its voluntary character. God reserves to himself the sovereign, absolute right to give grace to some and withhold that grace from others.

Image
Every sin is an act of cosmic treason, a futile attempt to dethrone God in His sovereign authority.
R. C. Sproul
Image
There is not one piece of cosmic dust that is outside the scope of God's sovereign providence.
