Posting that new Obama ad reminded me to post part three of that three-part interview with Dr. R.C. Sproul. You'll see why in a moment. We're talking about his most recent book, Five Things Every Christian Needs To Grow. You might want to read Part 1 and Part 2 first. CHEDIAK: In the course of your ministry, do you think Christians in general have gotten better or worse in regards to their preparation for corporate worship?
