The Inner Sanctum: R.C. Sproul

Summary

R.C. Sproul explores the concept of humanity's inherent fear of holiness, using a reference to an old radio program called "Inner Sanctum" as a metaphorical entry point. He suggests that people instinctively want to maintain a safe distance from God's holy character, even while being simultaneously attracted and repelled by it. The sermon emphasizes that understanding God's holiness is a crucial spiritual priority, despite our natural tendency to avoid confronting its profound and potentially terrifying nature. Ultimately, Sproul challenges listeners to recognize and engage with the core of God's character, rather than retreating from its intensity.
