7 Min Read

Answering theological questions from his students has been a continual commitment throughout Dr. R.C. Sproul's ministry. Originally called "gabfests" by his early students and later, "Ask R.C.," these sessions continue to take place at our conferences, on Renewing Your Mind, and online.

Today, with the help of his staff, Dr. Sproul used Twitter to answer your questions. Thank you to everyone who participated in this special event. You can follow the conversation below:

@BetaMale @Ligonier Not necessarily, but it depends on what kind of stewardship you are practicing in general.

@beautifulwood Both can be distortive. We can descend into pure moralism or the cheap grace of antinomianism.
