Dieu sait ce qu'il fait.
Quand Dieu veut forer un homme
Et faire vibrer un homme
Et former un homme,
Quand Dieu veut façonner un homme
Pour jouer le rôle le plus noble ;
Quand il aspire de tout son coeur
Pour créer un homme si grand et si audacieux
Que le monde entier sera émerveillé,
Observez ses méthodes, observez ses voies !
Comment Il perfectionne impitoyablement
Celui qu'Il élit royalement !
Comment Il le martèle et le blesse,
Et avec des coups puissants le convertit.
Dans des formes d'argile d'essai que
Dieu seul comprend ;
Alors que son cœur torturé pleure
Et qu'il lève des mains suppliantes !
Comme Il plie mais ne rompt jamais
Quand il entreprend son bien ;
Comment Il utilise qui Il veut,
Et dont chaque but le fusionne ;
Par chaque acte l'incite
A essayer sa splendeur -
Dieu sait ce qu'il fait.

Les enseignements de la Bible
John Piper
A Christian is not a person who believes in his head the teachings of the Bible. Satan believes in his head the teachings of the Bible! A Christian is a person who has died with Christ, whose stiff neck has been broken, whose brazen forehead has been shattered, whose stony heart has been crushed, whose pride has been slain, and whose life is now mastered by Jesus Christ. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me!”

Ce qui est unique à propos de Jésus
"Jésus est l'une des très rares personnes de l'histoire qui a fondé une grande religion mondiale ou qui, comme Platon ou Aristote, a fixé le cours de la pensée et de la vie humaines pendant des siècles. Jésus fait partie de ce groupe minuscule et sélect. D'autre part, un certain nombre de personnes ont, au fil des ans, prétendu implicitement ou explicitement être des êtres divins venus d'autres mondes. Beaucoup d'entre eux étaient des démagogues, mais beaucoup d'autres étaient des leaders de petites sectes autonomes de vrais croyants. Ce qui est unique à propos de Jésus, c'est qu'il est le seul membre du premier ensemble de personnes qui est également membre du second."
Tim Keller, Making Sense of God : An Invitation to the Skeptical
“Jesus is one of the very few persons in history who founded a great world religion or who, like Plato or Aristotle, has set the course of human thought and life for centuries. Jesus is in that tiny, select group. On the other hand, there have been a number of persons over the years who have implicitly or explicitly claimed to be divine beings from other worlds. Many of them were demagogues; many more were leaders of small, self-contained sects of true believers. What is unique about Jesus is that he is the only member of the first set of persons who is also a member of the second.”

Ma source de satisfaction ?
Si je regarde l'argent comme ma source de satisfaction, je ne regarde plus vers Dieu. L'argent a remplacé le Dieu vivant comme l'affection principale de mon cœur. Et le moment où je dépends davantage de mon argent est le moment où mon argent est devenu mon dieu. Le premier commandement nous enseigne que le Dieu glorieux ne permet pas d'autres dieux devant lui (Exode 20:3).
Randy Smith
If I look to money as my source of satisfaction, I am no longer looking to God. Money has replaced the living God as the primary affection of my heart. And the moment I depend more on my money is the moment my money has become my god. The First Commandment teaches us that the glorious God will not permit other gods before Him (Exodus 20:3).

Louer Jésus
Randy Smith
The Scripture is clear that all will be found praising Jesus Christ. Those who begin praising Him now after receiving Him by faith as their Savior will enjoy the blessed consummation of that throughout all of eternity. Those who reject Him will praise Him, but under obligation and separated from Him (Jn. 18:6; Phil. 2:10; Rev. 5:13). Simply put, God is too glorious to allow any corner of His creation to exist without recognizing His glory by ascribing to Him the worship that is due His name.

Penser au ciel
John MacArthur, The Glory of Heaven, par John MacArthur, 1996, 47 ans.
Because the church doesn’t really have heaven on its mind, it tends to be self-indulgent, self-centered, weak, and materialistic. Our present comforts consume too much of our thoughts, and if we’re not careful, we inevitably end up inventing wrong fantasies about heaven – or thinking very little of heaven at all.
John MacArthur, The Glory of Heaven by John MacArthur, 1996, age 47.

L'orgueil ne gagne aucune couronne.
Charles H. Spurgeon
There is nothing into which the heart of man so easily falls as pride, and yet there is no more vice which is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture. Pride is a thing which should be unnatural to us, for we have nothing to be proud of. In almost every other sin, we gather us ashes when the fire is gone. But here, what is left? The covetous man has his shining gold, but what does the proud man have? He has less than he would have had without pride, and is no gainer whatever. Pride wins no crown.”
Charles H. Spurgeon

La miséricorde
George Grant, The High Calling of Service
Mercy is something we extend, not just something we intend.

"Si vous dites que vous ne croyez pas en Dieu mais que vous croyez aux droits de chaque personne et à l'obligation de prendre soin de tous les faibles et des pauvres, alors vous vous accrochez toujours aux croyances chrétiennes, que vous l'admettiez ou non. Pourquoi, par exemple, devriez-vous considérer l'amour et l'agression - deux parties de la vie, toutes deux enracinées dans notre nature humaine - et en choisir une comme bonne et en rejeter une comme mauvaise ? Ils font tous deux partie de la vie. Où trouverez-vous une norme pour faire cela ? S'il n'y a pas de Dieu ou de royaume surnaturel, cela n'existe pas."
Tim Keller, Making Sense of God : An Invitation to the Skeptical
“If you say you don’t believe in God but you do believe in the rights of every person and the requirement to care for all the weak and the poor, then you are still holding on to Christian beliefs, whether you will admit it or not. Why, for example, should you look at love and aggression—both parts of life, both rooted in our human nature—and choose one as good and reject one as bad? They are both part of life. Where do you get a standard to do that? If there is no God or supernatural realm, it doesn’t exist.”

L'amour et l'humilité

Le pouvoir du pardon
Le pouvoir du pardon ne réside pas seulement dans le fait que nous sommes pardonnés - la joie de l'absolution - mais aussi dans le fait que nous pardonnons aux autres.
David Timms, Living the Lord’s Prayer
The power of forgiveness lies not only in our being forgiven – the joy of absolution – but also in our forgiving others.

Définir l'humilité
Jonathan Edwards
“Humility may be defined to be a habit of mind and heart corresponding to our comparative unworthiness and vileness before God, or a sense of our own comparative meanness in His sight, with the disposition to a behavior answerable thereto.”
Jonathan Edwards

L'ensemble de la vie chrétienne
Sinclair Ferguson, Grow in Grace, 1989.
The whole of the Christian life is centered on Jesus Christ. Like Paul the contemporary Christian can say: “To me to live is Christ.” But often, in Christian experience, we are tempted to look elsewhere for direction, example, counsel and guidance. We lose sight of the fact that everything we need to live the Christian life is to be found exclusively in Christ. For this reason when we begin thinking about spiritual growth we must think first of all about Christ.
Sinclair Ferguson, Grow in Grace, 1989.

L'enfer ou le paradis ?

Hell or Heaven? Do we plead for God’s reward as a result of our actions or do we plead for God’s mercy as a result of his actions?

Suivez le Christ
William Law
Follow Christ in the denial of all the wills of self, and then all is put away that separates you from God; the heaven born new creature will come to life in you, which alone knows and enjoys the things of God, and has his daily food of gladness in that manifold blessed, and blessed, which Christ preached on the mount.

Les tentations de l'ennemi
John Wycliffe
“Let no man think himself to be holy because he is not tempted, for the holiest and highest in life have the most temptations. How much higher the hill is, so much is the wind there greater; so, how much higher the life is, so much the stronger is the temptation of the enemy.”
John Wycliffe

Un excellent moyen de dissuasion

Si vous vous associez à Dieu, faites de grands projets !
"Si vous vous associez à Dieu, faites de grands projets !" Je vous encourage aujourd'hui à faire de Dieu votre partenaire. Quel que soit votre fardeau qui vous a poussé à chercher de la force, abandonnez-le-lui maintenant. Ne laissez pas passer une minute de plus sans lui remettre complètement vos fardeaux. Dieu veut être votre force. Abandonnez-vous à lui dans votre faiblesse et laissez-le se montrer fort. Rappelez-vous que si Dieu vous y amène, il vous fera passer au travers !"

Nous l'aimons parce qu'il nous a aimés le premier
Charles Spurgeon
“Go forth today, by the help of God's Spirit, vowing and declaring that in life - come poverty, come wealth, in death - come pain or come what may, you are and ever must be the Lord's. For this is written on your heart, 'We love Him because He first loved us.”
Charles Spurgeon

Les commérages
John Piper
“The New Testament warns against gossiping. The Greek word translated “gossip” means whisper or whisperer. In other words, the focus is not on the falsehood of the word but on the fact that it needs to be surreptitious. It is not open and candid and forthright. It has darkness about it. It does not operate in the light of love. It is not aiming at healing. It strokes the ego’s desire to be seen as right without playing by the rules of love.”
John Piper

Se sonder
John Wesley
We will not listen or willingly inquire after ill concerning one another; that, if we do hear any ill of each other, we will not be forward to believe it; that as soon as possible we will communicate what we hear by speaking or writing to the person concerned; that until we have done this, we will not write or speak a syllable of it to any other person; that neither will we mention it, after we have done this, to any other person; that we will not make any exception to any of these rules unless we think ourselves absolutely obligated in conference.
John Wesley
