The supreme test came upon Abraham when he made that dreadful journey to Mount Moriah, which tradition says is located on the exact spot that later in history is called Mount Calvary, where God took his son, his only son, the son whom he loved, Jesus, and went through with the sacrifice.

Thirty years ago this week, RSC Sprawl launched this daily outreach, Renewing Your Mind. And for three decades, by God's grace, the truth of who God is and what happened on Calvary has been proclaimed to millions of people around the world.

And if you've never contacted Renewing Your Mind or Ligonier Ministries before, I'll let you know about a free gift we have for you after today's message. Well, here's Dr. Sproul from his series, Dust to Glory, on God's covenant with Abraham.

113.314 - 139.563 R.C. Sproul

I think we're living in a very interesting time. It's a time of crisis. We're in a period of history that is somewhat unusual, where we're in that time where we're making a transition not only from year to year or even in terms of the turn of a century but rather the time of the turn of a millennium.

140.183 - 162.318 R.C. Sproul

And of course, any time you have that transition from millennium to millennium, all of the historians and the sociologists and the prognosticators of the future talk about the significance of this moment in history. Now, the historians of our day have described our time as the post-Christian era.

163.659 - 187.741 R.C. Sproul

a time where the teaching of Christianity has been deemed increasingly irrelevant, a time when the church is seen as a museum, outdated, outmoded. It's been reduced in certain places of Europe to the role of the mausoleum, indeed the gravesite for those who have declared the death of God.

188.582 - 222.202 R.C. Sproul

And yet, there remains in this world today a pulsating group of believing Christian people who still live at this point in time trusting in promises that were made 2,000 years ago. Two thousand years is a long time, and there's some irony in this, in that we're at that point now where just about two thousand years have elapsed since the birth of Jesus.
