The Suffering Christian

The Suffering Christian

"The suffering of the Christian or anyone else in this world is never ultimately an accident. All suffering is within the pale of divine sovereignty. All suffering comes within the broader context of the sovereignty of God."

- R.C. Sproul, "Reason to Believe"

Quote - Innocent Native Who Never Hears Christ

Innocent Native Who Never Hears Christ

"The innocent native who never hears of Christ is in excellent shape, and we need not be anxious about his redemption. The innocent person doesn’t need to hear of Christ. He has no need of redemption. God never punishes innocent people. The innocent person needs no Savior; he can save himself by his innocence."

- R.C. Sproul, "Reason to Believe"

Quote - History of God's Grace

Quote - History of God's Grace

"The Old Testament, in spite of its manifestations of the wrath of God, remains a history of God’s grace and long-suffering with a rebellious people. There is wrath unparalleled in the New Testament and grace overwhelming in the Old Testament. A false dichotomy between the Testaments is foreign to the biblical writers themselves."
 - R.C. Sproul, "Reason to Believe"

From Lingonier Ministries

"To celebrate God's blessings upon both Desiring God & Ligonier Ministries, our 2011 Ligonier Ministries' National Conference will focus on the theme "Light and Heat: A Passion for the Holiness of God." We will gather once more with friends from all around the world on March 24--26, 2011, to study the deep truths of God's Word, confident that He will bless our time together and demonstrate the unity we have in Christ by His Holy Spirit.

Several essential doctrines of the Christian faith are under attack in our day, even from within the church, and it is important that we be well grounded in these truths so that we may have a deep affection for our triune God. John Piper will join R.C. Sproul and Ligonier teaching fellows Sinclair Ferguson, Robert Godfrey, Steven Lawson, and R.C. Sproul Jr. as we look at several important tenets of the faith, such as divine sovereignty, biblical worship, evangelism and missions, apologetics, and justification. John Piper and R.C. Sproul will also host special sessions on the history of the work of both Ligonier and Desiring God, and we will endeavor to share some of what we have learned in our ministries as pastors and theologians.
