Can you be a Reformed protestant in America if you think R.C. Sproul can’t read scripture?

Recently, I decided that it would probably be decent of me to expand my podcast listening to include some Reformed teaching. Unfortunately for me, one of the first things I downloaded was a lesson by R.C. Sproul on the Lord's Prayer. Well, at least it was supposed to be on the Lord's prayer. Much of what he said seemed to ignore it altogether and even just plain contradict it.

András Visky on what is good art

"Hans Holbein's painting of the dead Christ, Christ after He has been taken down from the cross. It speaks about Good Friday... about this time of darkness when there seemed no hope for a resurrection. We too sometimes cannot see the resurrection in our lives." - András Visky, 2004

Death in the Family

One of the things that has always surprised me is that most people are uncomfortable around the grieving because "I don't know what to say." Well, someone just died. There's not a lot to say.
