Who loves the church? And Why We Should Too
For a year now, in this space, most Mondays here at RCSproulJr.com I’ve sought to answer questions related to the nature and calling of the church. Such is driven in large part by my contention that the evangelical “church,” for … Continue reading

Same Circumstance, Same Savior, Same Song

How does the church effectively serve the believer?
For almost a year now I’ve been publishing a weekly blog piece under the Ask RC heading on the nature and calling of the church. I have been persuaded for decades that one of the great weaknesses inside the church … Continue reading

Multiple Stops on the My Ways/Your Ways Highway

What distinguishes the believer from the non-believer?
Right from the get-go we have something of an epistemological/ontological problem. There are differences that are easier to see, and differences that are more central, but harder to discern. On the ontological side the whole of the order of salvation, … Continue reading

It was a true reflection of my own convictions, and my calling as a teacher. I was about 17; my niece was 3. We were sitting together at our local church, listening to the sermon. I know she was listening … Continue reading
