Hello and welcome back to Sociology 101. Today we're going to be engaging with a classic sermon. I guess you could call it. It's a long time ago that this sermon was produced. In fact,

I remember listening to this sermon from R.C. Spruill back on cassette tape. I used to be a part

of Lingenair Ministries cassette ministry where they would send out cassette taped. And I always

look forward to getting my Lingenair Ministry cassettes. And I would pop them in and listen to them either driving or in my house or wherever. And loved R.C. Spruill's voice.

I always loved his teaching. Didn't get to see very much of him because most of what I heard

from him was either on the radio or on cassette. And so as you can see there, I didn't realize

how much like Peter Falk, Colombo, that R.C. Spruill looks like, especially back in the day.

I guess this is in the 80s, I'm assuming probably in the 80s.

Many of y'all remember Peter Falk with Colombo.

He's very fast.

I didn't, you know, I'd never realize until I begin to see more video of R.C.'s parole,

how much he does look like, Peter Falk.

But I have a great affection for R.C.

I mean, he's, he's always been one of my favorite teachers growing up.

Obviously, I very much disagree with him with regard to sociology as many of you well know,

but it doesn't change the fact that you can still have a respect for a person, his integrity

as a man, his intellect as a scholar, his teaching overall from many of the areas of ministry

and theology I would agree with. I just contend with him on

these specific topics, especially with regard to predestination. And I think he's well-intending.

I think just as when I was a Calvinist, I really did believe I was interpreting the Bible

correctly as a Calvinist, and I was defending the truth of God's word as a Calvinist. And I'm

sure that's
