The Goal of Christian Living: Pleasing God with R.C. Sproul

[@zin153]

Finally, I have found a teacher.

[@rogeraquino1031]

learned a lot from RC Sproul, most notably the teaching on holiness of GOD, I thought I was a born again Christian for more than 30 years, till I heard his teaching on GOD'S holiness and had a 0.0000001% glimpse of GOD'S holiness in HIS WORD (BIBLE), that showed me my true wretched and filthy state, and through GOD'S grace, brought me to my knees and to repentance that leads unto life and to the worship of ONE TRIUNE GOD.

I've listened to Spurgeon's preaching, I think RC Sproul has deeper understanding and a better teacher than Spurgeon...

@@reynaldodavid2913Jo I’ve never appreciated comparing 2 humans to each other. Even identical twins are individuals with their own path. Sturgeon died in the 1800’s so any comparison you make is unnecessary and completely irrelevant since you are not hearing all his yrs of preaching… even with the recordings we have. However, I went to Sprouls church, listened to his live tapes, then recordings for many yrs. Simply put, there’s no need for comparison

[@wemuk5170]

With all due respect to RC whom I respect well, in this verse, is it not: if you love me, if you keep on loving me (from beholding me), you will be (end up) keeping my commandments? After all, both Paul Washer & Michael Durham interpreted ‘obedience’ as a consequence. Obedience is the consequence of inner joy/rejoicing IN Christ alone. Also, obedience is the consequence of inner love poured out by the Holy Spirit afresh into our hearts whenever a truth in Scripture is truly internally 100% believed. Even in OT, the joy of the Lord is my strength to obey-all to the glory of God. Right? However, I so agree that the only way to abide in God to glorify Him, is to persevere with God-ordained means of grace & trust Him for His own (humanly unearned) grace in saving perseverance of us all.

Preaching without notes... I'm not there yet lol, well preached brother R. C. Your missed indeed

[@TheAvenstar]

Not sure preaching without notes is particularly wise or relevant; but I never spoke to anyone who didn't love RC ! He was a down-to-earth kind of man who kept it heavenly in the pulpit. MacArthur, my pastor for years, loved him dearly and eulogized him at his send-off. Does anyone know when RC gave up the smokes? I think that's what got him ...not sure. Spurgeon was also a smoker -- cigars. I'm not trying to justify smoking, which I gave up years ago, or anyone else's .. just to say: he was a regular guy , now in glory!

[@randycadkins]

@@TheAvenstar I wouldn't want to speak without notes myself, I love John MacArthur, but I didn't know R. C. Until after he went home, I know he was a regular guy, used by God, and that what we pray for ourselves, to be humble and used by God. Do you go to Grace community Church?

May God bless you in your ministry as you stay faithful to the Word and avoid the traps of preaching pop messages. I know that has always been the key to the growth of Grace Community Church.

As a believer in meticulous determination , e.g. 'no rogue molecules', Sproul would be forced to admit no man could live in any way other than that which God has already determined for that man. If he was right, to encourage people to do anything is just going through the motions for it is already determined what they will or will not do, as is his encouragement. It's nuts. The argument that God ordains the 'means' is no refuge. Creating a being with libertarian free will is no threat to God, as demonstrated by Noah's flood and the Tower of Babel. God always has options for those who choose not to cooperate.

[@williemoe2927]

The very reason God created us was to love him and keep his commandments and, yes, that means God's law that he never even mentions. Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. This is what pleasing God is all about. Romans 8:There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus who walk in the righteousness of the law empowered by the Spirit. We obey God's law and that is our righteousness, not just cleansing of our sins by the blood. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Those who will not have God reign over them, who will not be under the law of God, hate God and cannot please him. Jesus did not obey the law for us. This is our righeousness. 1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

And yet not one word about faith in this whole 26 min. video. You would think that if scripture said of one thing you would have to do, that without it, it would be impossible to please God, he would at least mention it. Well, here it is Heb. 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Why did he not mention the parable of the lost sheep? Could it be because the sheep did nothing and deserves no glory? And he twists the parable of the lost coin in such a way that we are the woman searching?? Christ is not lost. We are. And the prodigal only came home because he was hungry. He had no where else to go. He didn't "press in to reach his father." Wow! I never knew much about this guy either. Not what I expected.
