Makes you wonder...

"Anyone who knows [R.C.] Sproul knows he teaches the great evangelical doctrine in Romans, justification by faith alone, in unmistakable terms."

I heard this quote today from seemingly the strangest source. From Chuck Colson on "Breakpoint" - his 3 minute radio commentary heard on Christian stations.

Why is this worth blogging about?

Ok, here's Colson, major proponent of "Evangelicals and Catholics Together" talking about Sproul, one of the men who tried to convince him before the doument came out what a travisty it was to true Christianity. RC Sproul is adamant about "Justicification by faith ALONE" (Alone being the key word - Catholics believe in faith + works). What gives?

Ok, so the point of his story was to emphasize the need to read, which I thought he could have illustrated a million better ways...but am glad he chose Sproul because perhaps someone will type in "RC Sproul" and come up with some good teaching rather than the eccumenical tendencies of "Breakpoint."
