  • Understanding Free Will

    from R.C. Sproul Nov 11, 2017 Category: R.C. Sproul

    Martin Luther struggled greatly with the relationship of God’s sovereignty to human free will and sin. In fact, one of the greatest books ever written on the subject, The Bondage of the Will, is from Luther’s pen. When Luther grappled with this issue, he especially struggled with the Old Testament passages where we read that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. Keep Reading

  • “Should I Force My Teen to Go to Church?”

    from R.C. Sproul Sep 23, 2017 Category: R.C. Sproul

    Being a parent is one of the most difficult and thrilling experiences that any human being ever has the privilege of going through. Exercising discipline over our children many times requires the wisdom of Solomon. I know this sounds like terrible theology, but sometimes I think raising children is 10 percent skill and 90 percent luck. Keep Reading

  • What Will Heaven Be Like?

    from R.C. Sproul Nov 05, 2016 Category: R.C. Sproul

    When I was in seminary, I studied under an extremely learned professor who I was convinced at the time knew the answer to every possible theological question. I remember I was so in awe of him that I asked him one day with stars in my eyes, “What’s heaven like?” I asked him as if he had been there and could give me a firsthand report! Of course, he steered me immediately to the last two chapters of the New Testament, Revelation 21 and 22, in which we get an extensive visual image of what heaven is like. Some dismiss it as being pure symbolism, but we must remember that the symbols in the New Testament point beyond themselves to a deeper and better reality than they themselves describe. Keep Reading

  • Does Prayer Change God’s Mind?

    from R.C. Sproul Sep 16, 2016 Category: R.C. Sproul

    Does prayer make any difference? Does it really change anything? Someone once asked me that question, only in a slightly different manner: "Does prayer change God's mind?" My answer brought storms of protest. I said simply, "No." Now, if the person had asked me, "Does prayer change things?" I would have answered, "Of course!" Keep Reading

  • R.C. Sproul on Demons

    from Karisa Schlehr Jul 15, 2011 Category: R.C. Sproul

    I think we can take some solace in the thought that it’s unlikely we’ll ever meet with Satan in our lifetimes. He has bigger fish to fry. He’s not going to chase after the little guys. But nevertheless, he has a host of minions, his demons, to do his work for him, and so they may surround us as close as our clothes, and satanic emissaries may besiege us, and we have to be alert to that. But it’s unlikely that you and I will encounter the Prince of Darkness himself. I say that because he is not omnipresent. That is an attribute that belongs only to God. Also, he’s not omniscient. Satan does not know everything. Satan is a creature, and he is defined by the limits of creatureliness. Keep Reading

  • R.C. Sproul on Angels

    from Karisa Schlehr Jul 14, 2011 Category: R.C. Sproul

    Angels are part and parcel of the biblical message from early in creation, from the book of Genesis all the way to the book of Revelation. We don’t simply see a flurry of angelic activity concentrated in the pages of the New Testament during the life of Jesus; we encounter them throughout the whole scope of redemptive history.
