I can't say enough, how much I appreciate these teachings. It has measurable changed my outlook in life. What to do, and not do, who and what to appreciate.
@@miffylova Did I mention salvation? Amillenialists deny future glory that belongs to Jesus Christ when all the world worships Him during his physical Kingdom Reign from Jerusalem as predicted in the Old Testament and in Revelation Chapter 20.
I read the book The Holiness of God by R C Sproul and then found Ligonier Ministries. What a legacy and a much needed ministry that is evergreen in its content. Thankyou for continuing the work.

The Dash Poem I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone From the beginning to the end. He noted that first came the date of her birth And spoke of the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth And now only those who loved her Know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own, The cars, the house, the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard; Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what’s true and real And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect And more often wear a smile, Remembering that this special dash Might only last a little while. So when your eulogy is being read With your life’s actions to rehash Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash? ~Linda Ellis~
I live for the Audience of One. I can’t control, nor do I want to, what people say about me ! I hope it is all about Him. And singing, singing, singing:)

are anyone else getting a loud static like an old radio? It’s making me hard to concentrate and all he’s saying. I just listened to one of his later sermon and it wasn’t there, it’ was very clear. Maybe that old tape needs some new tech assistance. It’s getting quiet.
Salvation is the moment thise recording your life Satans crew of wicked accusers and you have no fear knowing Yeshua will strengthen you for one last feat of strength as you watch them parish.
I do not agree with this preaching. Even if all were truth everything is unnecessary, and even if there were joyful eternity I am not interested in it if the price for it is a single slaughter of an innocent cat. I have no problem with not existing but I have problem with eternal hell because it is unimaginable monstrous.
The issue lies with us, our hearts and the sins we commit taint what is good. We've taken a loan on serving ourself, and now we cant pay for it. He offers to pay for it if we accept Him
@@bigcirkus306 No "the Boss" wont just forgive everything, the issue lies in the heart, as it said, if anyone abides in Christ he will produce fruit of the spirit and is a new creature, the old is passing away, and any branch not producing fruit will be cut down and burned. You dont get a free pass to sin whenever you want as Paul teaches, the repentant sinner is warned that he wont always find a place for repentance like Esau. Each time we sin we push God away, and whether He comes back or not isnt up to us, but His sovereign decision to grant repentance, and thats why we must seek it and not abuse it, our book may be closed at any moment
@@NezzyTTV I know that He will not forgive everything. There is not much that He forgives both in the Bible and otherwise. He showed no mercy for Egyptian babies, for numerous tribes, for animals and everything that lives many times. He showed no mercy for his own son, and so on. And taht theory, so complicated..."the issue lies in the heart" ,"fruit of the spirit", "branch that produces fruit", "his sovereign decision to grant repentence" ...what does that mean? I have several cats that can no language and we communicate perfectly.
@@bigcirkus306 The theory of it being on the heart isnt as much a theory as its what the scriptures say, specifically what Paul says when he writes "If anyone be in Christ he is a new creature" and when Jesus said, "If you love me you will keep my commandments". And so the evidence that someone is saved or at least being worked on is that they are new in how their relationship is with His commandments, and they produce fruit of the spirit. And so with these verses off of what I can at least remember by themselves, they seem to point to only a work of God in someone to change them in this way, and in Phillipians Paul writes: "Being confident of this very thing, that He who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ." Seems to say that if anyone has had an actual work of God in them that He will finish it, but when it comes to someone abusing that grace it would seem that they never truly had Gods work, but a temporary one in themselves
oh dear, lukepent!!! RC Sproul taught God's word!!! there iss nothing we all need to hear and understand than that!!! nothing but the gospel, given to us by God's grace!

Oh how I miss RC! There is no one like him! He can speak to a prince or a pauper! He spoke the truth & brought me to the real Christ of the Bible!
Me too.😁
Me too lost Tim Keller and rc sproul my 2 favorite preachers
RC Sproul was a Calvinist who also believed in the false Amillenialism doctrine.
You Sproul idolaters have been deceived.
@@WW3_Soonis that a salvation issue?

I am so glad you guys recorded his teachings....he looked so healthy then...he was a great teacher... so thankful for his insight
@@raybo632 huh? What has that to do with what I said? He did look healthier then before he smoked himself to death... fact and truth.... has nothing to do with his salvation
@@raybo632 You abuse the internet like a toy, not something a saved person would do.
RC taught me so much through his teachings. I miss him dearly, even though I never met him.
I feel privaledged to listen to dr RC Sproul! Always nourishment for my soul!
Yes R C is great to hear him teach and preach, Amen
Thank you.....this message makes all of us examine our lives....much needed
The Dash Poem
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke of the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard;
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
~Linda Ellis~
Excellent

Hey, Ligonier! Thank you for this! My wife and I were talking about the themes in ecclesiastes last night! Thanks for this message by Dr. Sproul.
What an handsome man with wholesome teachings!
He is a great public speaker
Love Dr. R.C. Sproul's theological teachings. 🙂❤
JESUS CHRIST REDEEMED THE DASH😮
ALL GLORY TO HIM
WHO WAS WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME✝️
Needed to hear, again.
more rc yes please !!
Yes, Amen! We all have sinned, and fallen short of God’s Glory. 🙏🧡
Priceless, eternal and provocative. Thank you Lord for RC.
I love ❤️ this guy!!! I hope to see him soon.
Yes sir. A word never so timely. A secret truth exposing the Almighties thoughts. Thankyou. I needed to hear this.
Goodness. One of the best teachings I’ve ever heard. Praise God. I’m so unworthy. Thankful for grace and mercy. Stand strong good people.
This is Carole Z--- boy, did I need to hear this one...so glad I was able to...✝️
Love feels so sooo good💕
Faith Hope and Love but the greatest is love💕
RC was a great biblical scholar/theologian. I'm freewill baptist,but I much enjoy RC. God used him greatly
WOW! It is hard to believe this message is how old? But, so relevant for this age.
If you want to keep up with the reading it is in NKJV version.
"Christians need to think under heaven."
are anyone else getting a loud static like an old radio? It’s making me hard to concentrate and all he’s saying. I just listened to one of his later sermon and it wasn’t there, it’ was very clear.

Your comment on wrath and salvation is so true. Saved from wrath. We do not like this. We like love.
Salvation is the moment thise recording your life Satans crew of wicked accusers and you have no fear knowing Yeshua will strengthen you for one last feat of strength as you watch them parish.
The Lord God can 'give you back the years the locusts have eaten '
Pretty much

Thats called precrime,
He means well, but if you're looking for original ideas, or inspiration, I would suggest looking to other teachers.
oh dear, lukepent!!! RC Sproul taught God's word!!! there iss nothing we all need to hear and understand than that!!! nothing but the gospel, given to us by God's grace!
Such as...??
He doesn't know what he's talking about! Right this minute, we are all under grace, but when the false messiah comes, game changes.
