Le courage
Phillips Brooks (1835–1893)
Courage…is the indispensable requisite of any true ministry… Courage is good everywhere, but it is necessary here. If you are afraid of men and a slave to their opinion, go and do something else. Go and make shoes to fit them… But do not keep on all your life preaching sermons which shall say not what God sent you to declare, but what they hire you to say.
Phillips Brooks (1835–1893)

Une façon d'apprendre l'esprit du Créateur
Ernest Walton
“One way to learn the mind of the Creator is to study His creation. We must pay God the compliment of studying His work of art and this should apply to all realms of human thought. A refusal to use our intelligence honestly is an act of contempt for Him who gave us that intelligence.”
Ernest Walton

Par honnêteté scientifique
Wernher von Braun
Dans une lettre adressée au California State board of Education (14 septembre 1972).
It is in scientific honesty that I endorse the presentation of alternative theories for the origin of the universe, life and man in the science classroom. It would be an error to overlook the possibility that the universe was planned rather than happening by chance.
Wernher von Braun
In letter to California State board of Education (14 Sep 1972).

Un enseignement enrichissant
CHARLES SIMEON (1759-1836)
ECCLÉSIASTIQUE ÉVANGÉLIQUE ANGLAIS
I do not sit down to the perusal of scripture in order to impose a sense on the inspired writers, but to receive one, as they give it me. I pretend not to teach them, I wish like a child to be taught by them.

L'esprit charnel
A.W. Pink, The Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer, Baker, 1979, p. 56-67.
The carnal mind is at enmity against God (Romans 8:7), and the more His children are conformed to His image the more they will bring down upon themselves the spite of His foes. Being “persecuted for righteousness sake” (Mt. 5:10) means being opposed because of right living. Those who perform their Christian duty condemn those who live to please self, and therefore evoke their hatred. This persecution assumes various forms, from annoying and taunting to opposing and tormenting.
A.W. Pink, The Beatitudes and the Lord’s Prayer, Baker, 1979, p. 56-67.

La résurrection
JOHN MACQUARRIE
THÉOLOGIEN ÉCOSSAIS
PRINCIPES DE LA THÉOLOGIE CHRÉTIENNE, 1977
The resurrection means that he can bring forth the new. His working never comes to an end, for he can always open up a new possibility. . . . The cross speaks of God standing with his creatures in the flux of events; the resurrection speaks of his always being ahead of events. Both symbols seem essential to the idea of God.

Dire la vérité
Origène
We are obliged, therefore, to say that whoever speaks that which is foreign to religion is using many words, while he who speaks the words of truth, even should he go over the whole field and omit nothing, is always speaking the one word.

La genèse du réveil
Erroll Hulse
Prayer the genesis of revival. The beginning of a time of revival invariably has been marked by quickening of the ordinary prayer meetings, resulting in new vitality, more participation, more sense of the presence of the Holy Spirit, and more unction in intercession.

True holiness isn’t cold and deadening – it’s warm and inviting. It’s irresistible. Those who think otherwise have never seen it, but only its caricatures.
