As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“I also discovered that Christian jargon was an almost meaningless form of communication, both to non-Christians and Christians alike. I found myself more interested in echoing a subculture’s lingo than in finding true godliness.” - C.Leaders
“From those early days in the Ligonier Valley Study Center, R.C. Sproul was driven by one overarching desire: to teach people who God is. In this video, watch as Stephen Nichols reveals how the Lord prepared Dr. Sproul to bring trusted biblical teaching to people around the world.” - Lingonier
“…the brilliance and the power of Sproul’s book is that it shows us a God who is holy, holy, holy. And really, there’s nothing the English language offers that can adequately explain what’s bound up in that three-fold repetition of ‘holy’…. When I look at much of contemporary evangelicalism, I see churches that so obviously do not regard God as holy, not to mention holy, holy, holy. Their small worship proves they worship a small God.
“What moves me,” says Sproul, “is when someone impresses upon me the glory of Christ. My father did that in spades, in all that he taught and in how he lived.” - RNS
I first encountered the term “High Calvinism” when I read Lewis Chafer’s systematic theology. This term is a bit old-fashioned now, of course. If someone is a “High Calvinist,” it means he’s very Reformed in his soteriology. This surely described R.C. Sproul!
