Posted on March 18, 2024 by RC

I recognize that these pieces get read through various and sundry venues. In addition to rcsprouljr.com, I post links on social media, including the Facebook I share with Lisa. You may have seen there any number of live films and … Continue reading →

A Sound Principle

Posted on December 15, 2023 by RC

Good exegesis will tell us that bad conclusions do not burst forth de novo from bad exegesis. It is valuable, important, even potent for us to have a good grasp of sound hermeneutical principles, to be on our guard against … Continue reading →

Trust and Obey

Posted on November 10, 2023 by RC

The KISS principle—Keep It Simple, Stupid—is itself a rather simple principle. It argues that when we find ourselves entangled in complex and complicated arguments, chances are we have already left the proper playing field. While, for instance, the gospel is … Continue reading →

What’s our biggest weakness in understanding the Bible?

Posted on November 6, 2023 by RC

Logic, or a lack thereof. There are plenty of other weaknesses we have. We not only don’t come to the Bible as first century Jews but we do come as twenty-first century Americans. We are largely ignorant of the geography, … Continue reading →

Hear O Israel, In the School of Christ

Posted on October 19, 2023 by RC

It is not hard to complain about the government’s schools. The government, at least during every election cycle, seems less than satisfied with its own product, ever promising us that it will improve. Atheists complain about prayers before football games. … Continue reading →

Kids These Days

Posted on October 6, 2023 by RC

It’s a funny thing about slippery slopes—you can slide down them slowly. The principle behind the concept isn’t that you must move swiftly from here down to there if you have no moral brakes, but that you will move. A … Continue reading →

Keep Your Pants On

Posted on September 28, 2023 by RC

We’re fools, we meaning we humans. We see the destruction that flows from our foolish choices, and seek out any solution besides stopping with the foolish choices. The Bible says that sexual behavior is only for a married husband and … Continue reading →

Smart is Not a Fruit

Posted on July 14, 2023 by RC

Leave it to Reformed people to miss the point. When Paul describes the body of Christ as a body, part of which includes hands, ears, and so forth, we are quick to mark our territory — we are the brain … Continue reading →

Pilgrims to the Promised Land

Posted on July 13, 2023 by RC

I doubt there are many believers who don’t want to go. I believe there are fewer still who have gone and aren’t glad they did. I doubt as well, however, that those who haven’t gone know well enough what they … Continue reading →

RIP Consensus

Posted on June 22, 2023 by RC

Everybody is for diversity, until they aren’t. Everyone is for equity, until they aren’t. Everyone is for inclusivity, until they aren’t. Suppose, for example, that famed racist David Duke wants to speak on your campus about the racial superiority of … Continue reading →
