Roger Nicole (1915–2010) — A Reflection from R.C. Sproul
from R.C. Sproul Dec 13, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
One of the great titans of the Christian faith died this weekend. I’m speaking of Dr. Roger Nicole, who at age 95 ended his earthly pilgrimage and has now entered into the joy of his Lord. While no doubt joyful for him, it is a very heavy thing to hear, as Dr. Nicole is, as far as I’m concerned, one of the legendary voices for the Reformed faith in the past century. Keep Reading -
Living in Exile
from R.C. Sproul Dec 12, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
We look to Nehemiah for clues to guide our own pilgrimage in difficult times. Nehemiah was grief-stricken by the news of the condition of Jerusalem. The walls were broken down and the gates burned with fire. His first emotion over the sad loss of his heritage was grief. It was not bitterness or anger. Nehemiah wept and mourned as Jesus would later weep over the same city. Keep Reading -
Tabernacling with God
from R.C. Sproul Nov 28, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul

Linking Faith and Loyalty
from R.C. Sproul Nov 14, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
Loyalty is a virtue that is linked to the biblical concept of faith. We tend to restrict or limit our understanding of faith to an act of believing, a kind of intellectual assent to the truth of a proposition. We know, however, that saving faith includes more than assent; it includes personal trust. Keep Reading -

Embracing Our Mission
from R.C. Sproul Nov 07, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
A church that cares not for truth is a community that rejects its very mission. The person who says, “I’m not interested in doctrine or theology,” is not “of the truth.” He or she has missed the voice of Jesus. Keep Reading -
