It's dangerous to assume that because a man is drawn to holiness in his study that he is thereby a holy man. I am sure that the reason that I have a deep hunger to learn of the holiness of God is precisely because I am not holy.

The more sanctified a person is the more heavily weighted his prayer time is in adoration.
R. C. Sproul
Any conception of a god that is less than sovereign is an idol and no god at all.
R. C. Sproul
Advice to aspiring ministers: Get in the Word. Stay in the Word. Master the Word. And for heaven's sake, preach the Word!
R. C. Sproul
If God did not act first, no one would be saved.
R. C. Sproul
God’s grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious. We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite. God sets limits to His patience and forbearance. He warns us over and over again that someday the ax will fall and His judgment will be poured out.
R. C. Sproul

Prayer is to the Christian what breath is to life, yet no duty of the Christian is so neglected.
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.
R. C. Sproul
In every age the church is threatened by heresy, and heresy is bound up in false doctrine. It is the desire of all heretics to minimize the importance of doctrine. When doctrine is minimized, heresy can exercise itself without restraint.
R. C. Sproul
Burning hearts are not nourished by empty heads
R. C. Sproul
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
R. C. Sproul
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
Not until we take God seriously will we ever take sin seriously.
R. C. Sproul
By His life, death, and resurrection, our Savior has conquered our enemies, and by His Spirit He has granted us to share in the victory.
R. C. Sproul
It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.
R. C. Sproul
Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?
R. C. Sproul
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
Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us.
