Le portrait de Jésus dans les évangiles
John MacArthur, The Gospel According to Jesus, John MacArthur, 1988, p. 107.
The portrait of Jesus in the gospels is altogether different from the picture contemporary evangelicals typically imagine. Rather than a would-be redeemer who merely stands outside anxiously awaiting an invitation to come into unregenerate lives, the Savior described in the New Testament is God in the flesh, invading the world of sinful men and challenging them to turn from their iniquity. Rather than waiting for an invitation, He issues His own – in the form of a command to repent and take on a yoke of submission.

Nos faiblesses
Nos faiblesses peuvent être un récipient pour la gloire de Dieu. Hannah a goûté aux larmes salées de l'infertilité. Elijah a hurlé pour que Dieu prenne sa vie. David a demandé mille fois à son âme pourquoi elle était si abattue. Le fait est que... Dieu fait de grandes choses à travers les grands blessés. Dieu voit les personnes brisées comme les meilleures et Il voit le meilleur dans les personnes brisées et Il appelle les blessés à être les changeurs de monde. N'ayez jamais peur d'être une chose brisée.
Ann Voskamp
Our weaknesses can be a container for God’s glory. Hannah tasted salty tears of infertility. Elijah howled for God to take his life. David asked his soul a thousand times why it was so downcast. The thing is? God does great things through the greatly wounded. God sees the broken as the best and He sees the best in the broken and He calls the wounded to be the world changers. Never ever be afraid of being a broken thing.

Le Dieu des grands retournements de situation.
Dieu est le Dieu des grands retournements de situation. Pensez-y : Pas de lutte signifie pas de force. Pas de montagne signifie pas de sommet. Pas de revers signifie pas de retour, et un retour peut être à votre portée. La confusion et la crise d'aujourd'hui seront la conquête de demain. Prenez Dieu au mot. Je vous mets au défi de le faire. Je vous mets doublement au défi. Changez votre façon de voir cette saison d'hiver. Considérez la lutte pour ce qu'elle est, une occasion pour Dieu de faire à nouveau ce qu'il fait le mieux : renverser une histoire et faire renaître la vie de la mort.
Max Lucado
God is the God of great turnarounds. Think about it: No struggle means no strength. No mountain means no mountain peak. No setback means no comeback, and a comeback can be yours for the taking. Today’s confusion and crisis will be tomorrow’s conquest. Take God at his word. I dare you to do so. I double dog dare you. Reframe the way you see this season of winter. Recast the struggle for what it is, an opportunity for God to do again what he does best: flip a story on its head and resurrect life out of death.

Notre mission chrétienne
Phillips Brooks
It is for us, in whom the Christian Church is at this moment partially embodied, to declare that Christianity, that the Christian faith can do that for the world which the world needs. You say, “What can I do?” You can furnish one Christian life. You can furnish a life so faithful to every duty, so ready for every service, so determined not to commit every sin, that the great Christian Church shall be the stronger for your living in it, and the problem of the world be answered, and a certain great peace come into this poor, perplexed phase of our humanity as it sees that new revelation of what Christianity is.

Les dons de Dieu
Jay Adams, Christian Living in the Home, 1972, p. 60.
God’s gifts are not given capriciously; neither are they given in such a way that the option for their use is left with us. As the gifts are discovered they are to be developed and used to the full in His service and to His glory. God distributes His gifts for His purposes and for the good of His people. His sovereign administration of these gifts must be acknowledged as right and proper by His people, even when they cannot see the good.

La victoire à la croix
Randy Smith
Interestingly, we are not commanded to win the overall victory. Christ already did that at the cross and He will consummate it at His return when the devil is thrown into the Lake of Fire. We are simply told to hold our ground against the continual assault of the devil’s schemes and “stand firm” (Eph. 6:11, 13-14).

Le chrétien a des objectifs nobles
John Newton
A Christian has noble aims which distinguish him from the bulk of mankind. His leading principles, motives, and desires are all supernatural and divine. Could he do as he desires there is not an angel before the Eternal Throne, that would excel him in holiness, love, and obedience! He would tread in the very footsteps of his Savior, fill up every moment of time in His service, and employ every breath in His praise!
John Newton

Être ressuscité avec le Christ
Être ressuscité avec le Christ signifie non seulement qu'on a le choix et qu'on peut vivre selon une loi supérieure - la loi de la grâce et de l'amour - mais qu'on doit le faire. La première obligation du chrétien est de rester libre de toute superstition, de tout tabou aveugle et de toute formalité religieuse, voire de toute forme vide de légalisme.
Thomas Merton
To be risen with Christ means not only that one has a choice and that one may live by a higher law - the law of grace and love - but that one must do so. The first obligation of the Christian is to maintain their freedom from all superstitions, all blind taboos and religious formalities, indeed from all empty forms of legalism.
Thomas Merton

Le péché
Charles H. Spurgeon
Sin to a believer is horrible, because it crucified the Saviour; he sees in every iniquity the nails and spear.

Le jugement moral
"On ne peut jamais porter de jugement moral sur une chose sans examiner sa finalité. . . . Comment, alors, pouvons-nous dire si un être humain est bon ou mauvais ? Seulement si nous connaissons notre but, le but de la vie humaine. Si vous ne connaissez pas la réponse à cette question, alors vous ne pouvez jamais déterminer le 'bon' et le 'mauvais' comportement humain."
Tim Keller, Making Sense of God : An Invitation to the Skeptical
“A moral judgment about something can never be made apart from an examination of its given purpose. . . . How, then, can we tell if a human being is good or bad? Only if we know our purpose, what human life is for. If you don’t know the answer to that, then you can never determine ‘good’ and ‘bad’ human behavior.”

L'amour de Dieu

To ask that God’s love should be content with us as we are is to ask that God should cease to be God.

Nier son propre état de pécheur ?
John Broger, Self-Confrontation Manual, Lesson 4, Page 1.
“Man, in his own wisdom, has developed a vast number of philosophies and theories seeking to explain one's thoughts, words, and actions. In doing so, man has pridefully sought to deny his own sinfulness and has confused any clear definition of God's standards of right and wrong.”
John Broger, Self-Confrontation Manual, Lesson 4, Page 1.

Il existe trois types de dons
Il existe trois types de dons : le don par rancune, le don par devoir et le don par reconnaissance. Le don par rancune dit : "Je dois" ; le don par devoir dit : "Je dois" ; le don par gratitude dit : "Je veux".
Robert Rodenmeyer
There are three kinds of giving: grudge giving, duty giving, and thanksgiving. Grudge giving says, “I have to”; duty giving says, “I ought to”; thanksgiving says, “I want to”

Des serres mentales
Jerry Bridges
“Our minds are mental greenhouses where unlawful thoughts, once planted, are nurtured and watered before being transplanted into the real world of unlawful actions... These actions are savored in the mind long before they are enjoyed in reality. The thought life, then, is our first line of defense in the battle of self-control.”

Le message de l'Evangile
Ligon Duncan
They may seem weak in the eyes of the worldly strong. They may seem foolish in the eyes of the worldly wise. But the Gospel message is the power of God unto salvation, and the Gospel means are effectual to salvation. These are the Spiritual instruments given by God with which Christian congregational Spiritual life is nurtured, the Spirit’s tools of grace and growth in grace appointed by God in the Bible.

Comment vaincre le péché ?
Randy Smith
Sure, people can counsel us on some strategies to overcome sin such as Bible memorization, prayer, accountability partners and providing no opportunity for the flesh, but our primary hope to be victorious is not faith in a technique but rather, 2 Corinthians 3:3, faith in a promise that we have power through “the Spirit of the living God.” Never shall a sin again, if we are truly saved, be able to dominate, enslave or defeat us. By God’s grace through the New Covenant provision of the Holy Spirit, we can rise out of the gutter of sin and stand joyously with the freedom we now have in Christ. We are as Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:17 completely new creatures!

La doctrine est importante
John MacArthur
Doctrine matters. What you believe about God, the gospel, the nature of man, and every major truth addressed in Scripture filters down to every area of your life. You and I will never rise above our view of God and our understanding of His Word.

Un point capital
Thomas Boston, Of the Decrees of God, Commentary on the Shorter Catechism.
For as the sun darts its beams upon a dunghill, and yet is no way defiled by it; so God decrees the permission of sin…yet is not the author of sin.
