Why Right Now Counts Forever?
from R.C. Sproul Apr 17, 2013 Category: Articles
The reason I chose that title for my column was this—we are living in a period of skepticism and pessimism. We are assaulted on every side by the theme of negative existential philosophy that teaches us one of two things: either right now doesn't count at all, or right now counts for right now, and that's all. If right now counts only for right now, that's the same as saying right now counts for nothing.

3 Ways the Gospel Changes Marriage
from Erik Raymond Apr 15, 2013 Category: Articles
We know from the Scriptures that a Christian marriage is never simply a union of two people but two people united together in Jesus Christ.

How Can an Infinite Hell Be Just When Our Sins Are Finite?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Apr 13, 2013 Category: Articles

from R.C. Sproul Apr 08, 2013 Category: Articles
One of the most dramatic moments in my life for the shaping of my theology took place in a seminary classroom. One of my professors went to the blackboard and wrote these words in bold letters: "Regeneration Precedes Faith."

What Does it Take to Write Well?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Apr 06, 2013 Category: Articles
Though it is most often attributed to the great sports writer Red Smith, no one knows for sure who first bled this great insight—"Writing is easy. You just open a vein and bleed." Like all great metaphors, this one invites us to slow down and examine its many facets. Keep Reading -
4 Truths About Hell
from Tom Ascol Apr 05, 2013 Category: Articles
What should we think of hell? Is the idea of it really responsible for all the cruelty and torture in the world? Is the doctrine of hell incompatible with the way of Jesus Christ? Hardly. In fact, the most prolific teacher of hell in the Bible is Jesus, and He spoke more about it than He did about heaven.
