No one is fooled by euphemistically calling abortion "reproductive healthcare." Everyone knows it is the taking of a human life created in the image of God.
Everyone.
“My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!”
—Horatio Spafford
Pray with @Ligonier for Iran and the global church.
In just a few hours, @RCSproul's teaching will be broadcast on TV for the first time in Iran. Viewers will hear R.C. teach on “What Did Jesus Do?” in their native language of Farsi via satellite TV broadcast throughout Iran.
Today marks five years since @RCSproul went to be with the Lord. Not a day goes by that I do not miss that happy warrior—his wisdom and wit, his zeal and his love, his boldness and his kindness.

What a gift Dr. MacArthur was for the body of Christ; what a gift he was to me. The Lord used him and Dr. Sproul in my early college days to deepen my understanding of the Scriptures and strengthen my conviction about the Bible’s authority, inerrancy, infallibility, and sufficiency. As a college student with no money, I responded to a @gracetoyou offer and received a free copy of The Valley of Vision, opening a first glimpse into the Puritans' theologically rich spiritual life.
Later in my vocational life, the Lord would give me the unexpected privilege to serve at @Ligonier and get to know Dr. MacArthur as a trustworthy and gentle friend. Moreover, John’s friendship with R.C. will provide enduring lessons to generations of Christians.
Rare to find such courage, boldness, and kindness in gospel ministry. May the Lord raise up many more workers for the abundant harvest, preachers who will not flinch in telling the truth.
I will miss him greatly.
If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me. —M'Cheyne
One of my favorite photos of them. From 2009 outside Luther’s house, sitting on the stoops Katie gave to Martin as a gift.
Today would’ve been @RCSproul and Vesta’s 60th wedding anniversary.
We were warned.
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."
(2 Timothy 4:3–4)
You led so many of us into the throne room of the thrice-holy King. We miss you, R.C., but rejoice that you are with the Lord in His refulgent glory and behold Him face-to-face.
Marking six years today of missing R.C., our beloved founder at @Ligonier. He was a gifted, passionate, and cheerful Bible teacher and theologian whose teaching ministry the Lord is blessing among the nations.

Keep your head down and strive to do work that is relevant 1,000 years from now. There’s a reason we still talk about Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm, Wycliffe, Luther, Tyndale, Calvin, Turretin, et al.
It's been two years since R.C. went to be with the Lord. His timeless teaching is still reaching millions of new people every year, and for that we are grateful. But for those who knew him well, we miss his generosity of spirit and hearing him laugh. #GodusedRC

In this moment, we feel loss—immense sadness and profound loss—the loss of a pastor, a teacher, a leader, a brother-in-Christ, a friend. ligonier.org/blog/rc-sproul-…

Two years ago @RCSproul preached his last sermon.
He concluded that sermon with these words: “I pray with all my heart that God will awaken each one of us today to the sweetness, the loveliness, the glory of the gospel declared by Christ.” ligonier.org/blog/rc-sprouls…
Please be in prayer for the Lord to strengthen His church thru this weekend’s @Ligonier conference in London. We’re expecting attendees from 27 countries and 26 states.
The blue dot is the campus location for @Ligonier and @RefBibleCollege. Thank you for praying for all those in harm's way, particularly those in the Tampa area and the first responders who will be on the scene in the aftermath. Psalm 46.
Religion is inescapable because mankind is incurably religious. Take away the true God and we are left with an intolerable vacuum, a vacuum that we and nature abhor. It must be filled. If God is banished, idols will rush in to fill the void. —@RCSproul
Today marks four years since our beloved founder, @RCSproul, went to be with the Lord. I miss him every day. He was truly a happy warrior for the truth.
Those who loved R.C. Sproul best will miss him most; we will all miss him. But we would not keep him back from that vision of God for which he lived and in which he has died. Soli Deo gloria! —Sinclair Ferguson bddy.me/3m2pBt3

Do not underestimate the sanctifying power of regularly sitting under the preaching of God’s Word in the company of God’s people during public worship.
Though ministers die, yet their words live; their words take hold of men when they are in the dust (Zech. 1:6). —John Flavel
Thankful that #GodUsedRC and that He continues to do so.
