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
-
To live coram Deo is to live one’s entire life in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory of God.
R. C. Sproul -
The supreme form of cursedness is for the Lord to turn His back on you and bring judgment on you.
R. C. Sproul -
We do not determine right or wrong based on what everybody else is doing.
R. C. Sproul -
We have to determine our theology from the Word of God, not from what we feel.
R. C. Sproul -
Your task, O preacher, is to make sure that you are faithful to the text, that you are faithful to the proclamation of that gospel, that you are faithful to set forth the whole counsel of God, and then step back and let it happen.
R. C. Sproul -
The principle rule of interpreting Scripture is that Scripture interprets Scripture.
R. C. Sproul
-
To despise doctrine is to despise the Word of God.
R. C. Sproul -
We live in age of compromise, but if we stand on the bedrock of God’s truth, we will not bend with the winds of relativism and faithlessness.
R. C. Sproul -
Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.
R. C. Sproul -
Men and women who refuse to acknowledge God's existence do so, in the final analysis, because it is contrary to their manner of living. They do not want to bow to the moral claims of a holy God on their lives.
R. C. Sproul -
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.
R. C. Sproul -
God doesn't need our consent in order to govern us; He made us.
R. C. Sproul
-
We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.
R. C. Sproul -
We have to find in Christ, not a mask that conceals our face, but an entire wardrobe of clothing, which is His righteousness.
R. C. Sproul -
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.
R. C. Sproul -
God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.
R. C. Sproul -
This means that if a person fulfills his or her vocation as a steelmaker, attorney, or homemaker coram Deo, then that person is acting every bit as religiously as a soul-winning evangelist who fulfills his vocation. It means that David was as religious when he obeyed God’s call to be a shepherd as he was when he was anointed with the special grace of kingship. It means that Jesus was every bit as religious when He worked in His father’s carpenter shop as He was in the Garden of Gethsemane.
R. C. Sproul -
The only works of righteousness that serve to justify a sinner are the works of Christ.

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 -
Doctrine divides, but doctrine also unites. It binds together the hearts of God's people who celebrate the truth of God together.
R. C. Sproul -
The modern movement of worship is designed to break down barriers between man and God, to remove the veil, as it were, from the fearsome holiness of God, which might cause us to tremble. It is designed to make us feel comfortable.
R. C. Sproul -
Perhaps the most difficult task for us to perform is to rely on God’s grace and God’s grace alone for our celebration. It is difficult for our pride to rest on grace. Grace is for other people—for beggars. We don’t want to live by a heavenly welfare system. We want to earn our own way and atone for our own sins. We like to think that we will go to heaven because we deserve to be there.
