| 3333e84 | Even if the Christian cannot rejoice in his circumstances, if he finds himself passing through pain, sorrow, or grief, he still can rejoice in Christ. We rejoice in the Lord, and since He never leaves us or forsakes us, we can rejoice always. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| e0c8b87 | found a "liberal" Jesus; the existentialists found an existential hero; and the Marxists discovered a political revolutionary. Idealists found an idealistic Jesus and pragmatists discovered a pragmatic Christ. To search behind or beyond the New Testament is to go on a snipe hunt equipped with" | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 697a726 | Then God stooped to earth and carefully fashioned a piece of clay. He lifted it gently to His lips and breathed into it. The clay began to move. It began to think. It began to feel. It began to worship. It was alive and stamped with the image of its Creator. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| c8192b0 | We have a doctrine called the perseverance of the saints. I do not like that name for it; while saints do persevere, it is not because they have the power of perseverance within themselves. If it were left to me to persevere in my Christian walk, I would fall and stumble in a moment. The One who really perseveres is God. He perseveres with His children and thereby preserves them. One of the chief ways in which God preserves His people is th.. | R.C. Sproul | ||

| ea52182 | If we asked one hundred Christians to answer this question, "Which comes first, regeneration or repentance?" I imagine that ninety out of a hundred would say repentance comes first. However, it doesn't make sense that people who are dead in their sins and trespasses would incline themselves naturally to repentance. The New Testament teaches that God the Holy Spirit first quickens our souls, making us alive spiritually, and the fruit of this.. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 73c2e5f | All Christians enjoy a unity of mission in which we have one Lord, one faith, and one baptism (Eph. 4:4-5). There is surely disunity in the visible church, but that is not as important as the reality of the unity that we enjoy by virtue of our shared communion in Christ. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 122f49c | Those who want to reduce Christianity to a set of moral guidelines and restrict Jesus to the role of ethical teacher or moralist fail to observe that much of what Jesus said was about Himself. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| c74169d | I have noticed that it isn't just secularists who howl when a Christian wanders off the reservation and proclaims the gospel in the public square. Other Christians also make a fuss. Why? Because when some Christians draw the ire of secular society, everyone who enjoys peace on the reservation becomes frightened that they will become targets of the enemy. Many who claim the name of Christ would rather live peacefully on the reservation than .. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 2323815 | When God justifies His people, He does not do it by a unilateral act of forgiveness, because to do so without propitiation, without satisfaction, without atonement would be a complete violation of His justice. God will not wink at sin. He simply will not pass over it without exacting a punishment for it. | R.C. Sproul | ||

| 23a9439 | I know inwardly that I do not love Christ totally. But at the same time I do know that I love him. I rejoice inwardly at the thought of his triumph. I rejoice inwardly at the thought of his coming. I will rejoice at his exaltation. I know that none of these sentiments that I find in myself could possibly be there if it were not for grace. | R.C. Sproul | ||

| 00e710e | we call the editorial plural or the editorial "we," which a writer or speaker uses to communicate a point. This device is often used by dignitaries; a king, a pope, or another person in high office prefaces his or her comments by saying, "We decree" or "We declare," even though the person is speaking only for himself or herself. More specifically, there is a Hebrew literary device called the plural of intensity, which calls attention to the.. | R.C. Sproul | ||

| 0a5df90 | There was a mountain climber who slipped on a ledge and was about to plummet thousands of feet to his death, but as he started to fall, he grabbed a branch of a tiny, scraggly tree that was growing out of a crack in the face of the cliff. As he clung to the branch, the roots of the scraggly tree began to pull loose, and the climber was facing certain death. At that moment, he cried out to the heavens, "Is there anyone up there who can help .. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 71271ce | It is not the Word of God because the church says so; but that the Word of God might be spoken, therefore the church comes into being. The church does not make the Word, but it is made by the Word. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| 5efb625 | We affirm that the written Word in its entirety is revelation given by God. We deny that the Bible is merely a witness to revelation, or only becomes revelation in encounter, or depends on the responses of men for its validity. | R.C. Sproul | ||

| 4bc1f58 | The principle of priestly absolution was not a major issue. The Roman Catholic Church has always taught that the priestly words Te absolvo ("I absolve you") find their strength in the promise of Jesus to the church that "whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 16:19), granting the spokesmen of the church a right to speak the pardon of Christ to penitent people.

First, the basic broth was made from one of the commercially popular high-octane energy drinks. Human blood had been added in and, although it was difficult to be absolutely certain using the small and badly degraded sample, I was reasonably sure it had come from several sources.

| bc8a8ff | L'amore e duro, piu duro dell'acciaio e tre volte piu crudele. E inesorabile come la marea, e vita e morte seguono la sua scia. | crudele inesorabile morte vita | Jacqueline Carey | |
| d528661 | Le importava, le importava davvero di me, e a quell'idea non riuscivo a smettere di ridere, avendo trovato il mio inutile trionfo nella stordita follia del dolore. Anche se la foschia rossa di Kushiel mi velava la vista, anche se le fitte che provavo alla testa erano terribili, i miei pensieri erano chiari. L'equilibrio dei poteri era mutato, rendendoci, per una volta, pari. | dolore follia odio | Jacqueline Carey | |

E la stessa domanda che poniamo alla nostra esistenza, e anche la risposta e sempre la stessa.
