The most obscene symbol in human history is the Cross; yet in its ugliness it remains the most eloquent testimony to human dignity.
R. C. SproulThe only way the kingdom of God is going to be manifest in this world before Christ comes is if we manifest it by the way we live as citizens of heaven and subjects of the King.
R. C. SproulGod did not die. The God who took on Himself a human nature died in His humanity, but the deity did not perish on the cross.
R. C. SproulThe sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.
R. C. SproulI'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.
R. C. SproulTo solve a marriage problem, you have to talk with each other about it, choosing wisely the time and place. But when accusations and lengthy speeches of defense fill the dialogue, the partners are not talking to each other but past each other. Take care to listen more than you speak. If you still can't agree on a solution, consider asking a third party, without a vested interest, to mediate.
