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 -
To be known by God is the highest goal of human existence.

Prayer is not optional for the Christian; it is required.
R. C. Sproul -
Though sin often brings immediate pleasure, it gives no lasting joy.
R. C. Sproul -
There are times when we suffer innocently at other people’s hands. When that occurs, we are victims of injustice. But that injustice happens on a horizontal plane. No one ever suffers injustice on the vertical plane. That is, no one ever suffers unjustly in terms of his or her relationship with God. As long as we bear the guilt of sin, we cannot protest that God is unjust in allowing us to suffer.
R. C. Sproul -
Sin can bring pleasure, but never happiness.

The fundamental deception of Satan is the lie that obedience can never bring happiness.
R. C. Sproul -
Jesus' life was a storm of controversy. The apostles, like the prophets before them, could hardly go a day without controversy. Paul said that he debated daily in the marketplace. To avoid controversy is to avoid Christ. We can have peace, but it is a servile and carnal peace where truth is slain in the streets.
R. C. Sproul -
The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.
R. C. Sproul -
People need a consistent explanation of the cross of Christ and what it accomplished. Christ's atoning work is the centerpiece of the gospel and the only solution for humanity's estrangement from our Creator.
R. C. Sproul -
The truth of Scripture is meant not only to be studied-it’s meant also to be sung.
R. C. Sproul -
To say that God's sovereignty is limited by man's freedom is to make man sovereign.

Satan could make an "A" in my Systematic Theology course. He knows the information and knows that the information is true.
R. C. Sproul -
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.
R. C. Sproul -
Preachers must always fight the temptation to preach anything but Christ and Him crucified.
R. C. Sproul -
Faith is the means by which the righteousness of Christ is given to us.
