What the Bible says is true

A note that while in seminary R. C. Sproul kept on his desk in a place where he could always see it:

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO BELIEVE, TO PREACH, AND TO TEACH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IS TRUE, NOT WHAT YOU WANT THE BIBLE TO SAY IS TRUE. (Sproul, R. C. (1996). Chosen God. Wheaton, Ill.: Tyndale House Publishers, 1996, page 12)
