Imitating the Father
from R.C. Sproul Sep 19, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
If we are to search out the depths and riches of the meaning of God’s love, we can approach our quest in two ways. We can work from the top down or from the bottom up. By working from the top down, we can focus on everything the Bible says about the character of God’s love, seeing the full expression of the declaration that “God is love,” and then seeing how that dimension of God’s character is to be reflected by His image-bearers.

If God Is Sovereign, Why Pray? (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul Sep 15, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
"How does the sovereignty of God relate to our daily lives? We understand from Scripture that God is sovereign, that He rules and reigns over all things for His glory and the good of His people." But as soon as prayer and God's sovereignty are set side by side, we run into difficult theological questions. After all, if God is sovereign over all things, why should we even bother praying? If all things work together for good to those who love God, shouldn't we content ourselves with whatever God sees fit to give us? In the coming days we will post a series of articles by R.C. Sproul in which he addresses these issues head-on. This is the fourth part of the series. Keep Reading -
Learning to Love
from R.C. Sproul Sep 12, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
Love is a popular topic, one that evokes warm feelings and a rush of spiritual adrenaline. Every year the polls indicate that the chapter of the Bible voted “most popular” is 1 Corinthians 13. This is the famous “love chapter” of the Bible. That this chapter holds such perennial appeal for Christians indicates something of the profound concern we have for the matter of love. Keep Reading -

Building with Conviction
from R.C. Sproul Sep 07, 2010 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
The tabernacle of the Old Testament was a shadow of what was to come, a building that foreshadowed the Christ who was to come and "tablernacle" among us. Because the tabernacle was fulfilled in Christ, many Christians have come to the conclusion that there is nothing more we need to learn from it. R.C. Sproul, writing for this month's issue of Tabletalk magazine, disagrees. "The question is raised: Are there transferable principles found in the construction of the tabernacle that may be useful for the construction of houses of worship in the New Testament? I believe there are." Learn what Dr. Sproul suggests we ought to learn from the tabernacle by reading Building with Conviction. Keep Reading -

Producing Fruit
from R.C. Sproul Sep 05, 2010 Category: R.C. Sproul
One cannot be a Christian and have no fruit. Indeed, all Christians yield some measure of all the fruit of the Spirit. It is not that one receives the fruit of love and another the fruit of joy. All the fruit is to be manifest in all Christians. Keep Reading -
