God wants your life. Not one hour a week, not 10% of your income, He wants you.
R. C. Sproul -
Grace, by definition, is something that God is not required to grant. He owes a fallen world no mercy.

Look to the Bible and not your feelings as the basis of the Christian life.
R. C. Sproul -
Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.
R. C. Sproul -
If God is the Creator of the entire universe, then it must follow that He is the Lord of the whole universe. No part of the world is outside of His lordship. That means that no part of my life must be outside of His lordship.
R. C. Sproul -
In Reformed theology, if God is not sovereign over the entire created order, then he is not sovereign at all. The term sovereignty too easily becomes a chimera. If God is not sovereign, then he is not God.
R. C. Sproul -
The worst sin against stewardship is to waste your life.
R. C. Sproul -
The only cure for anxiety is to get down on our knees.

If there is one single molecule in this universe running around loose, totally free of God’s sovereignty, then we have no guarantee that a single promise of God will ever be fulfilled.
R. C. Sproul -
Fallen man is free to choose what he desires, but because his desires are only wicked he lacks the moral ability to come to Christ. As long as he remains in the flesh, unregenerate, he will never choose Christ. He cannot choose Christ precisely because he cannot act against his own will. His fall is so great that only the effectual grace of God working in his heart can bring him to faith.
R. C. Sproul -
God is the foundation of all authority, He exercises that foundation because He is the author and the owner of His creation. He is the foundation upon which all other authority stands or falls.
R. C. Sproul -
For a Christian to be a Christian, he must first be a sinner. Being a sinner is a prerequisite for being a church member. The Christian church is one of the few organizations in the world that requires a public acknowledgement of sin as a condition for membership.
R. C. Sproul -
What makes art Christian art? Is it simply Christian artists painting biblical subjects like Jeremiah? Or, by attaching a halo, does that suddenly make something Christian art? Must the artist’s subject be religious to be Christian? I don’t think so. There is a certain sense in which art is its own justification. If art is good art, if it is true art, if it is beautiful art, then it is bearing witness to the Author of the good, the true, and the beautiful
R. C. Sproul -
The problem in the church today is not the profession of faith, but it's possession.
R. C. Sproul
-
God's grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious.
R. C. Sproul -
The more I learn about God, the more aware I become of what I don’t know about him.
R. C. Sproul -
God’s sovereign will is not at the whim and mercy of our person and individual responses to it.
R. C. Sproul -
Man’s will is free to follow his inclinations, but fallen man’s inclinations are always and invariably away from God.
R. C. Sproul -
Faith never requires us to crucify our minds or deny our senses.
R. C. Sproul -
Change marriage and you change the world. Convince people that government, not God, lays down the rules for marriage, and they will believe more strongly that they determine right and wrong, that not even the world's rulers are subject to a higher authority.

The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.
R. C. Sproul -
Here then is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy.
R. C. Sproul -
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.
R. C. Sproul -
I'm afraid that in the United States of America today the prevailing doctrine of justification is not justification by faith alone. It is not even justification by good works or by a combination of faith and works. The prevailing notion of justification in our culture today is justification by death. All one has to do to be received into the everlasting arms of God is to die.
