The End of the World as We Know It
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 16, 2013 Category: Articles
We are a worldly people and we know it. Trouble is, we don't know it well enough. As the broader western culture sinks more deeply into the moral abyss, as even our anemic and apologetic Christianity is vilified and judged it becomes all too easy to awaken to the dangers of worldliness. And of course our worldliness is easy enough to find. Keep Reading -
Following the Leader
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 09, 2013 Category: Articles
I don't much care for physics. Never did. That, of course, doesn't keep me from being grateful for physicists, and for engineers. This message has reached you through the labors of men who do care about such things. But usually when physicists start talking about wormholes, or engineers start talking about heat transfer rates, my mind begins to wander. Keep Reading -
Do Minimum Wage Laws Help Either the Poor or the Overall Economy?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 02, 2013 Category: Articles
No, on both counts. Our labor is a service. Its value is determined neither by law nor by wish but by the market. All of us, I suspect, would love to be paid $1,000 an hour. Given that all of us would want this, why don't we pass a law stating no one could be paid less than $1,000 an hour? Were we to do so, I suspect that some athletes, some rock stars and perhaps a few actors would still be employed. The rest of us, however, would be out of work. There is no employer out there willing to pay me that much. (If you disagree, by all means, let me know who they are.) Keep Reading -
Seeing Beyond The Shadowlands
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Feb 23, 2013 Category: Articles
It has long been my contention that the Reformed church never quite got over the Enlightenment. While we rightly reject this premise and that conclusion at the heart of the Enlightenment experiment, we still drink deep of its spirit. Keep Reading -
Raising the Dread
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Feb 16, 2013 Category: Articles
It was a tree I had climbed dozens of times. It was base when we played hide and seek, our meeting place for planning the day's play. It was, one could argue, the epicenter of my childhood. Keep Reading -
Blackboard Priesthood
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Feb 09, 2013 Category: Articles
Education is the sacrament of the Enlightenment. That is, when people caught up in enlightenment thinking, whether inside or outside the church, see a problem, their means of grace of choice is ever and always more education. Keep Reading -
Do Christians Have a Moral Obligation to Boycott Companies that Support Unbiblical Causes?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Feb 02, 2013 Category: Articles
No. Christians, of course disagree on this. And when we disagree we can usually expect someone to trot out the whole "meat offered to idols" and weaker brother texts discussion in I Corinthians and Romans respectively. Neither of these texts, however, were given to us to squelch discussion nor to leave us blind to moral absolutes. Keep Reading -
Why Did the Pharisees Hate Jesus So Much?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jan 26, 2013 Category: Articles
The Pharisees hated Jesus not because He made them look bad with the people, but because He made them all look bad to Rome. Keep Reading -
Roe v. Wade: A Generation Lost
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jan 22, 2013 Category: Articles
January 22 the Supreme Court released their decision in Roe v. Wade. That decision, purportedly flowing from the unseen penumbra and emanations of the Constitution, ruled that no state could prevent a woman from destroying her unborn child up until the moment of birth.

What Do You Mean by Living “Simple Lives?”
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jan 19, 2013 Category: Articles
Highlands Ministries, one of the ministries for whom I labor, has from its founding affirmed that its purpose is to "help Christians live more simple, separate, and deliberate lives for the glory of God and for the building of His kingdom." Keep Reading
