R.C. Sproul: Love the Lord your God with All Your Mind 

I came here to hear a light message before going to sleep... Now I'm taking notes at 11:35pm way too good to pass up.

They should make free brain lobotomies so we can be psychopaths, actually have something good in life besides Christian suffering.

“O Lord, grant that I may desire Thee, and desiring Thee seek Thee, and seeking Thee find Thee and finding Thee be satisfied with Thee forever.” Augustine of Hippo

The greatest theologian of our day!! We miss you brother.

My introduction to this great man was back in 1998 when a Christian brother handed me RC's book "The Holiness of God" and said, you got to read this. What a humbling revelation of just how magnificently HOLY God is. If anyone has not read this masterpiece, I highly suggest you obtain a copy. It definitely accentuates this message given hear by Dr. Sproul.

I never watch an R.C. video without a dictionary! Thank you Ligonier 🙏🏻💛

My heart pounded when he said: 'God gave them up!' What a fearful and terrible condition to find oneself in! 😮

This man was a true blessing to me in my ongoing pursuit of the love of God.

Today marks RC's 4th year in Heaven. May God bless His beloved Church by sending us faithful preachers and teachers who will not bow the knee to the world. Who will encourage us to stand and fight the good fight of faith. Let us all glorify God in the life of our departed brother R.C. Sproul. May God bless us all

Right now R.C. Sproul is in the presence of CHRIST. A day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day. Excited for the RETURN OF THE LORD ! ! !

I always thought believing God with logic and mind is wrong cuz it said in the Bible to love God with all of your heart but, you know, I'm not the type of person who easily feels elevated in worship, so I often felt so much guilt for not feeling God. Then I watched this! Thank Jesus for your grace by making me watch RC Sproul! I wanna meet Jesus, this pastor and Luther lol

Oh my, I'am crying watching this sermon! Thank you , thank you, thank you for sharing this.. Glory to God

That might have been the best sermon I've heard. After all, the greatest commandment is to love God, with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. Hearing this has helped me to do that, I am a changed person at this point, and will seek to know God with more seriousness and diligence.

Such an incredible teaching. One of the greatest theologians of all the times.

So excited to bearhug RC on the other side! 😄🌈🌷

That sermon was a masterpiece. Humorous, intellectual, pragmatic, passionate. Even without the content his tone and natural way of communicating is astounding. I can’t speak enough about this man. God gave us gift this generation.

Set your mind on Christ Jesus, with a repentant heart and leave Him, to decide what you'll leave behind. The reason I say this, is because it is by grace through faith, that we are saved and that is not of ourself. So it isn't by works or anything we do, or don't do, but by faith alone, having believed that Jesus died for our sins once for all, and that God raised Him from the dead. The bible says we are to believe this in our heart and confess it with our mouth, unto salvation. So, does doing this, make it a works based salvation? Not at all, it is an act of obedience to God, the Holy Spirit, Whom, has indwelt the believer, causing regeneration of our spirit that was dead in Adam. Just like He did in the one thief on the cross next to Jesus. We have been given a new spirit and a new heart that is not hardened toward righteousness and a renewing of the mind, which completely changes our volition. This is why a sinner would be willing to walk away from sin and follow Jesus as Lord of their life. Just like you are thinking, you may wanna do. Judging by the comments, it sounds to me as though you are doing exactly what you said in your heart, you would be willing to do. The Lord is the One that will see the work He has begun in you, through unto completion. Which of course, will be when we meet Him face to face in our new glorified digs. Our new glorified body, I was just trying to sound cool by saying, "digs". Lol.. I purposely said it that way, to show you that we Christians are just like everyone else, in that we like to have fun, still wanna come across as cool, unique and individual or whatever our thing is, just not prideful or immoral, or anything sinful. We live a new more abundant life inside these vessels, that is pleasing to God and brings glory to Him. This is the fruit of the Spirit. His Spirit, the Paraclete, Who is working in us, doing all of the heavy lifting and comforting us, and rooting us onward to the finish line, by encouraging and enabling us. He is also sanctifying us, which of course is setting us apart from the world around us. Making us a peculiar people, something like God's chosen people, the Jews. Only for them it was in the physical sense as they were commanded to live in a way that was so different than anyone else, that they remained separate from everyone, thus ensuring a pure bloodline to the throne of David, and our Lord and King, the long awaited Messiah or Christ Jesus, Who will reign on David's throne forever. But, in us the elect, it is spiritual, and yes we too, are a peculiar people, in the sense that we are merely sojournors in a land that is not our own, as we are just passing through, to reach the destination that God has placed the desire for, in our hearts. Here is the tough part, and I can tell you this without concern of you turning and running the other way, because if indeed you are elect, then you, like myself and all of the brethren will be cast, in the furnace of affliction. Notice that I didn't say "cast into", like Daniel's three buddies, who were cast into a furnace in an effort to destroy them. Rather, I said "cast in" and the reason for this, is because for us, it is not for punishment and destruction, but discipline and admonishment and through affliction, we are being perfected in Christ or you could say, being made into the image or likeness of Christ. This is achieved by our suffering, as He did. This I believe is only one of the reasons behind what Paul meant when he said, to take up our cross and follow Him, and also, work out your salvation with fear an trembling. When we are following Christ, we are the light of Christ, to the world around us. I am not saying we are Christ. But, when people see and hear a true blue born of God Christian soldier, there is such a vast difference between them and us, that those that remain rebellious against the Lord become uncomfortable because they love darkness and all the sinfulness that goes with it. They hate the light and shun it because it reveals the truth about their wickedness and the dark sinful condition of their heart, We need to be on our guard from attacks by the evil one, who works his craft in and through those that remain spiritually dead in Adam, as they are lost and deceived. We will be persecuted for Christ's name sake. That is one of the marks of a godly man. Just look at all that our Lord allowed, for Paul to suffer for Christ's name sake. Also let us not forget that there is a spiritual battle for the mind, taking place, and the reading of the word and prayer are where we will find some of our best defense against any accusations from the evil one, not to mention, both the word and prayer can be a quiet place of refuge, to shelter us from any of the storms we must go through in our trials. I am confident, that the Lord has already begun a great work in you. Tonight when I head down to the lake, to spend time with the Lord. I will include all of you in my prayer. Anyhow brothers and sisters, I love you, as do all of the brethren, as does our gracious Lord.

I ❤ listening to sound biblical teaching.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' Mark 12:30

Another heart changing sermon may every one hear this teaching understandings how to love our Almighty God

Thank you so much for this teaching. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now in my Christian journey.

ABSOLUTELY NOURISHIED AND ENCOURAGED.

This is a real RC Sproul classic, 1 among many

I can never get enough of R.C. Sproul preaching!! We miss you being on earth but rejoice that you are with the Heavenly Father for eternity! I would love to talk with him someday, perhaps when this is all said and done I will!

I miss you and love you, my brother!but you are with the LORD JESUS!!!!

It has been said, that when EF Hutton speaks every buddy listens. I pray that when RC Sproul speaks, Everyone come to a new understanding of God.

7:49 I've seen that. Atheist will come up with very intelligent arguments to disprove the existence of God and that just takes them further away

I love RC very much. He was a brilliant human being. But I wonder. Am I the only one who has to pause the video every few minutes. To ask Siri the definition of yet another unknown word?! 😉😇🙏🏾. Thank you father, for your servants like RC . I have grown in love and understanding of you, threw his spoken word from you 🥰

Good point. The mind was the seat of intellect, to th Greeks. (The New Testament was written in Greek.) That means God expects us to think, to study diligently, and use the minds God gave us to serve and glorify him.

Very good teaching,a lifetime spent running after the living God, amen

Honest Truth, here we see that it is a work of the Holy Spirit that draws us to him (God) because he first loved us! it is he who changes our mindset toward him and who he is and what he has done for us through Christ the Only Saviour Acts ch 4 v 12. Hallelujah what a SAVIOUR🙏🏼💕🙏🏼

30 thumbs down?? "What's wrong with you people? I'm serious..."

His words hit you like a sledgehammer

His sense of humor, love it 🙌❤️ Thank God for raising up men like him to preach His word faithfully 🙏

My husband get angry every day please pray pastor my sons three iskiliye please pray pastor god bless you pastor amen my love Jesus amen

Praises for this sermon on the web. Our church is chasing sjw status, not glorifying God.

I pray that An atheist will come across this and listen.

I have been studying Proverb 29:27 about the enmity between the righteous and the wicked and was startled at the beginning of RC's talk when he discussed Romans 1 that he was amplifying this concept. This talk will encourage me to keep learning of God. I am so grateful for RC and for Vesta sharing him with us. Sorry if name icon comes up 2x. Some sort of computer glitch. Don't know how to fix it.

Never hear messages like this in churches today!!! Wish I could find Bailey Smith sermon “The Wheat and the Tare” heard it about 40 years ago….my my my such a powerful powerful sermon

I have been asking the Lord for a while now " how can I love you more". He answered me by bringing me to this sermon. This is my first time listening to him and all my questions have been answered.

I'm just learning about R.C. My brother loves him. So I want to learn more about him

Please 🙏 for my children and I

The greatest commandment of them all.

Amen Bro. RC!

Great preaching of GOD's word

GOD IS NOT MOCKED A MAN REAPS WHAT HE SOWS 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful message!

Immense and comprehensive teaching. Blessed soul our dear teacher had. 😊

R.C. Sproul was/is to theology what the Rev. Billy Graham was/is to evangelism. Brother R.C. Sproul was manifestly an excellent teacher who took most difficult theological doctrines and very transparently expounded on them with ease and fluidity.

What a horrifying, terrifying, sobering thing to contemplate. That God would "give me up." Thank you Jesus, for taking my place. Thanks be to God, for not giving me up.

Of course he is this he woke me up on the moon he's been in my life all my life all my premonitions come from him even when I was reborn twice

I love the Lord Jesus and have served Him for over forty years but I get angry when I see what is taaking place in this world with the lawlessness and lack of concisince taking place . My mind wants to see His judge.ent to reign in the evil and put the fear of God back into this world giving creedence to the Word and its warnings. But sadly according to His Word it will continue to get worse and worse untill the end so I reign in my mind and watch in prayer for the salvation of all believers MARANATHA

But didn't The Lord send I think it was Peter to a Greek pagan who was seeking after him? Please excuse me, cuz i can't remember exactly where, but it was the story where God showed Peter the vision of all the animals and creatures of the earth and told him that all things touched by him are clean. I thought The Lord sent his apostle to this Greek man because he was seeking truth and God.

I am listening to this from RC because I really would like to understand what it means to “Love the Lord our God with all my Mind”

Dr. Sproul has uncovered thoughts and reason that I never considered before

Yes sir. Our God renews the spirit in our mind. He shows us His majesty, His Orr, His greatness and loving kindness. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Wisdom is to know our creator, to stand in Orr of him, to give Him glory and honour. To know the almighty God with our whole being. To stand in fear and trembling for His great favour and grace bestowed upon a retch such as me. Truely to know Him is to love Him; yes sir, this is a word from God.

Thanks you Pastor And Praise the Lord Amen

Love his humour. Thank you Lord for this Brother!

One may love his God with all his heart but does not love his neighbours, he is like an empty can making a loud sound!!!😂

Remember it's always the WORD, more than the man...

At 5:35 Dr. Sproul saying "phaneros" in Greek in the subtitles is transliterated "poneros" which mean "wicked" not "manifest." Maybe someone will notice this post and change that close captioning error.

The more we learn of God, the more you adore and honor him, the more your love for him grows, Amen.

RIP brother RC ❤️

Amen and Amen!

What a tremendous gift to church. Thank you Lord Jesus for RC.

Please pray for me to love the Lord as much as RC does

LORD JESUS CHRIST I TRUST IN YOU... AMEN!!!

“To know know know Him is to love love love Him”. What great love of God comes in my heart to hear Minister Sproul sing this. I remember as a child singing at my church. I was truly happy. I love the Trine God, yes I do. Amen

Psalms 119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. Jesus is The Word, John 1:1-5 The Word God spoke: Exodus 20:1 The Word God wrote: Deuteronomy 4:13 and The Word God made flesh John 1:14. He is our example of The Trinity. He is The Law that hung on the cross and The Law that is written in the heart. Psalms 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. With obedience to The Father in Deut.6:8-9, The Father anoints us with His Word, putting us in His Son, The Holy Spirit. Build up the body of Christ by 'putting on' The Lord. Cling to, dwell in the law (Ten Commandments) and testimony (Sermon on the Mount). We know His voice. His words are spirit and they are life. Hear Him. Prepare for your future and the life of your loved ones. As Paul tells us, "put on Jesus." Cling to, dwell in the Truth.

🧠

"Love, from a pure heart, a clear conscience and a sincere faith." The door has opened wider. Earnest prayer, answered. Pieces interlocked more securely. This is the best sermon I've ever heard. I am thankful. The height and depth and width and breadth!

Saying faith without reason is not biblical faith?

GOD KNOWS U MORE THAN YOUR FAMILY,FRIENDS,BF,GF,BFF,ETC PLEASE GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS AS HE DID FOR YOU,HE LOVES U SO MUCH,REPENT AND❤JESUS🙏🏾🥰❤✅

Powerful

I raised my daughters in church, they were baptized, in accountability groups. But college…. My oldest…… but her heart is darkened 😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏

My favorite teacher!

To GOD be the Glory.

God has put eternity into man's mind,yet so that he can not find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. My people are destroyed by their lack of knowledge.

Col 1-4 2 cor 4-5 gal 2:20-21 james 2 john 15

Can’t morality affect reasoning?

So good, beneficial. Will listen again.

If you want to know if you love God, or not? All you have to do is, ask yourself this question, am I obeying the ten commandments of God? If you are obeying the ten commandments of God, you love God... If you are not obeying the ten commandments of God, you don't love God...

I Recently was introduced to RC and his teachings by a friend. I heard ten minute of him speaking and knew rite away he was an authentic true theologian. Great teacher , Great speaker . He knows the truth that's for sure.

Por favor en español, bendiciones desde Colombia.

Brilliant.

Amen

Amen pastor

Now thats what i call a sermon.

Mr Sproul reminds me of an Irish street preacher who has had a little too much guinness draught prior to preaching ..amen

woww! that's all I could say

I am so thankful for sharing Dr Sproul's talk on this topic as I believe it is the most important topic for every believer as it is the First and Greatest Commandment for believers in and followers of Yeshua, our L-rd and Savior. Also, thank you for sharing Dr Sproul's talks as they are uplifting, inspiring, and draw me deeper into His Word and impart on me a newfound or deeper understanding and/or perspective that I didn't have before. It is also very nostalgic as I remember my grandmother listening to Dr Sproul on AM/FM Christian radio or on Christian cable TV networks growing up. One of my regrets is not having the wisdom, intentionality, purpose, and appreciation of listening to Dr Sproul as I should have over the decades, and one of my blessings is having lived long enough to have discovered it through your RU-vid channel. Numbers 6:24-26 and Shalom Shalom.

Makes me want more on this topic.

AMEN. GLORY BE TO GOD 🙌

Yet it does read ...SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND ....(which is a sign thet the Lord is working .... before the heart can be totally darkened and the mind totally blind ) Psalm 1 ... meditate day and night ...

6:40 "Pagan thinkers can still add two and two and come up to four." Not anymore! (Anyone who's been on Twitter the past year or so knows that!)

OUTSTANDING!!!!!
