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. SproulWe live in a time of crisis in the secular culture and in the church with regard to the beautiful.
R. C. SproulIn salvation we are not only saved from sin and damnation; we are saved unto holiness. The goal of redemption is holiness.
R. C. SproulReformed 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.
