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.

Why do those who keep insisting Jesus hung out with sinners also keep insisting there's no such thing as sin?

It is important for us to make a distinction between the spiritual fruit of joy and the cultural concept of happiness. A Christian can have joy in his heart while there is still spiritual depression in his head. The joy that we have sustains us through these dark nights and is not quenched by spiritual depression. The joy of the Christian is one that survives all downturns in life.
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 -
Scripture does not say that God is 'love, love, love' or that He is 'wrath, wrath, wrath,' but that He is 'holy, holy, holy.'
R. C. Sproul -
To know that God knows everything about me and yet loves me is indeed my ultimate consolation.
R. C. Sproul -
We've replaced the proclamation of Christ with an easy-listening legalism of do more and try harder.

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 -
Only God can provide us with an eternal perspective and speak to us with absolute and final authority.
R. C. Sproul -
The grand difference between a human being and a Supreme being is precisely this: Apart from God I cannot exist; apart from me God does exist. God does not need me in order for Him to be. I do need God in order for me to be. We are dependent. We are fragile. This is how we differ from God.
R. C. Sproul -
Unbelievers can tolerate Christ only as long as He is stripped of His real identity.

God does not rule by the consent of His subjects but by His sovereign authority. His reign extends over me whether I vote for Him or not.
R. C. Sproul -
Truth is too important to kill it in the streets for the sake of peace.
R. C. Sproul -
If you care about the slaughter of the innocent, then for God's sake, speak up.

Tabletalk Magazine exists to help establish us in the Word to deepen our understanding of God and apply this knowledge to our daily living.

The wearing of fabric head coverings in worship was universally the practice of Christian women until the twentieth century. What happened? Did we suddenly find some biblical truth to which the saints for thousands of years were blind? Or were our biblical views of women gradually eroded by the modern feminist movement that has infiltrated the Church.
R. C. Sproul -
For the Arminian, salvation is possible for all but certain for none. In the Calvinist position, salvation is sure for God's elect.

Reformed theology does NOT teach that God brings the ELECT kicking and screaming, against their will, into His kingdom. It teaches that God so-works in the hearts of the Elect as to make them willing and pleased to come to Christ. They come to Christ because they want to. They want to because God has created in their hearts a desire for Christ.
R. C. Sproul -
Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us.
R. C. Sproul -
Unbelief is judged by Jesus not as an intellectual error but as a hostile act of prejudice against God himself.
R. C. Sproul -
Without the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.
