In The Lightlings, Dr. R.C. Sproul weaves an allegorical tale that captures the essence of the biblical story of redemption in a manner that will fascinate and delight children. A race of tiny beings known as lightlings are a picture of humanity as they pass through all the stages of the biblical drama - creation, fall, and redemption. In the end, children will understand why some people fear light more than darkness, but why they need never fear darkness again.

Is the origin of religion rooted in some deep and dark psychological need within the human heart? Dr. Sproul discusses the destructive thought of Professor Sigmund Freud, the atheistic philosopher, and how it has influenced the way people think of "The Nature of Religion."

Continuing the discussion on why people come to different conclusions about very serious matters, we now come to the fourth reason Dr. Sproul has discussed in previous lectures. The fourth reason: the root of psychological pressure or prejudice and how it can have such a strong influence upon our thinking.

There are those who try to uphold the law of God perfectly, only to find themselves frustrated and despairing. The sixteenth century reformer Martin Luther found himself in such a place, but by the grace of God, he found something else. Dr. Sproul explains what that was in "Luther's Discovery."

In the previous lecture, Dr. Sproul stated four reasons why intelligent people come to differing conclusions about major issues such as the existence of God.

Dr. Sproul talks briefly about why it is that people of great and impeccable academic and scientific credentials will disagree on very important issues. Of these, none is more important then the question of the existence of God.

This imaginative tale from R.C. Sproul, based on a true story, begins one evening with Mr. McFarland leading family devotions. When his daughter asks him how she should pray, Mr. McFarland shares a 500-year-old story about a barber and his famous customer. Master Peter is a barber well-known to all in his village. One day, when Martin Luther the Reformer walks into his shop, the barber musters up the courage to ask the outlawed monk how to pray. Luther responds by writing a letter to the barber. The barber's life and many others' are changed as they encounter a model for prayer by using the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and the Apostles' Creed.

The individualistic, global societies created and propelled by sin operate under the assumption that the fortunes and failures of life result strictly from the decisions and actions of the individual. Human beings are autonomous creatures and independent entities unto themselves. Hence, the notion of imputed righteousness (the application of a foreign righteousness on another) struggles against the grain. Yet, the nature of reality foils this principle at every turn. In each stage of life, we experience the effects of others' actions on our lives in permanent and uncontrollable ways, just as we impose similar effects. In this lesson, Martin Luther comes face to face with the notion of imputed righteousness, a concept previously alien to him while under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church.

Dr. R.C. Sproul and Lee Webb welcome Ligonier Ministries president and chief operating officer, Chris Larson and Reformation Bible College president Dr. Stephen Nichols in the studio to discuss an awareness survey that Ligonier Ministries commissioned to find out exactly what people on the street and in the pews actually believe about a vast array of topics. The State of Theology includes questions about heaven, hell, God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Bible, sin, the church, and more.

Coming at the close of the eighteenth century, the American and French Revolutions had an enormous impact on subsequent history. While both movements were revolutionary in nature, you will see how different their aim and character were. In this message, Dr. Godfrey highlights some of the key points of these events, showing especially how the American Revolution affected American church history.

There are many people in the world who will concede that Jesus of Nazareth was an actual historical person who lived in the ancient world of Palestine, and some even have given Him prophet status. But the testimony of Scripture doesn't allow us to stop there. The Bible says that Jesus is more than a prophet, and as Christians we must be prepared to explain that. What really makes Jesus unique was His beginning, or, should we say, lack of it. Dr. Sproul looks at this thought as he gleans from the Gospel of John chapter one, in "The Deity of Christ."
