Un travail de chirurgien
Sinclair Ferguson, Grow in Grace, 1989, p. 119.
There can be few more alarming sights than the sight of what we would be were we left to ourselves, of what we are by nature in and of ourselves. It is a sight which few of us are able to bear for any length of time. That is why such experiences are usually brief, pointed but not prolonged. God shows us enough to make us see our need, to break down any illusions we may have had about ourselves. Like a skilled surgeon His knife work is fast, accurate and clean.

Avoir de la gratitude
John Younts
The “put on” response to swearing is gratitude. Notice the end of Ephesians 5:4. Paul says that gratitude should punctuate your speech, not swearing. This contrast is striking. It is not simply replacing one set of words with another set of words. God wants your grateful heart. He wants your faithful, trusting heart. He wants your submissive, humble heart. When He has these things from you, swearing will not be an issue. If your talk acknowledges that God has sovereign control over your life, and that He is working all things together for your good, you will express your gratitude, not your frustration or rebellion.

Changer
John Owen
How many millions of sins in every one of the elect, every one of which is enough to condemn them all, hath this love overcome! What mountains of unbelief doth it remove! Look upon the conduct of any one saint, consider the frame of his heart, see the many stains and spots, the defilements and infirmities with which his life is contaminated, and tell me whether the love that bears with all this is not to be admired. And is not the same towards thousands every day? What streams of grace, purging, pardoning, quickening, assisting, do flow from it every day! This is our Beloved.

Lorsqu'une vérité est déployée par Dieu
Lorsqu'une vérité est déployée par Dieu, elle devient tout naturellement une force dans l'homme, qui se trouve alors capable de croire.
Watchman Nee
When a truth is unfolded by God it most naturally becomes a power in man, who then finds himself able to believe.

Mourir pour une fable ?
vendredi 20 octobre 2006
Michael Lawrence, Biblical Theology, page 136.
Understanding our inability to choose God unless God first chooses us actually frees the evangelist to evangelize, and leaves the converting to God!

Un condamné
William Hendriksen, Luke, Baker, 1978, p. 498.
The underlying figure is that of a condemned man who is forced to take up and carry his own cross to the place of execution. However, what the convict does under duress, the disciple of Christ does willingly. He voluntarily and decisively accepts the pain, shame, and persecution that is going to be his particular – note: his, not someone else’s – lot because of his loyalty to Christ and his cause.
William Hendriksen, Luke, Baker, 1978, p. 498.

Aller vers les foules
Origène
When Jesus then is with the multitudes, He is not in His house, for the multitudes are outside of the house, and it is an act which springs from His love of men to leave the house and to go away to those who are not able to come to Him.
Origen

Deux attitudes
Randy Smith
Strong Christians refuse to make it about themselves and the engagement in petty battles. It’s not about personal vendettas, but winning the war for Jesus. Weak people get easily offended and use their energy to defend their wounded ego. Their will and their kingdom now becomes more important than God’s will and kingdom. And when Christians get there, they are in the flesh and being used by the devil. They are defeated.

Voir l'excellence de Dieu

But herein is the excellency of this Divine Sun, that He illuminates not only the object, but the faculty; doth not only open the mysteries of His kingdom, but opens blind eyes to behold them.

La Sainte Bible

Dieu tout-puissant
James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), physicien.
Les équations de Maxwell ont été à la base de notre révolution technologique ; sans elles, nous n'aurions pas eu de télévision, de radio, d'ordinateurs, d'iPods, de rayons X, etc.
Ann Lamont, 21 Great Scientists who believed the Bible, p.208, Creation Science Foundation, © 1995
Almighty God, who has created man in Thine own image, and made him a living soul that he might seek after Thee, and have dominion over Thy creatures, teach us to study the works of Thy hands, that we may subdue the earth to our use, and strengthen the reason for Thy service; so to receive Thy blessed Word, that we may believe on Him whom Thou has sent, to give us the knowledge of salvation and the remission of sins. All of which we ask in the name of the same Jesus Christ, our Lord.
James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), physicist
Maxwell’s equations were foundational for our revolution in technology; without them we would have had no television, radio, computers, iPods, X ray etc.

Prouver le caractère de Dieu
Phillip E. Johnson
We're not trying to prove the character of God through science. That's a bad idea. What I'm trying to do is clear away the misunderstandings, the debris that prevent people from accepting that God who wants to accept them.

La gratitude
Jerry Bridges, Transforming Grace, NavPress, 1991, p. 199.
Gratitude is a handmaiden of contentment. An ever-growing attitude of gratitude will certainly make us more content since we will be focusing more on what we do have, both spiritually and materially, than on what we do not have. But contentment is more than focusing on what we have. It is focusing on the fact that all we do have; we have by the grace of God. We do not deserve anything we have, materially or spiritually. It is all by His grace.
Jerry Bridges, Transforming Grace, NavPress, 1991, p. 199.

Nous sommes tous fous.
Peter Kreeft
We are all insane. That is what original sin means. Sin is insanity. It is preferring finite joy to infinite joy, creatures to the Creator, an unhappy, Godless self to a happy, God-filled self Only God can save us from this disease. That is what the name "Jesus" means: 'God saves'.

Chercher à être rempli du Saint-Esprit
Watchman Nee
To seek the filling of the Holy Spirit in order to be a powerful spiritual person is solely to please himself, to make himself happy. For were he to live purely for God and His work this believer would not consider his personal happiness or feeling.

La différence entre un homme non converti et un homme converti
William Arnot
The difference between an unconverted man and a converted man is not that one has sins and the other does not; but that the one takes part with his cherished sins against a dreaded God, and the other takes part with a reconciled God against his hated sins.

La force naturelle

Être davantage conscient du péché dans votre vie
Kevin DeYoung, The Hole in Our Holiness, Crossway Books, p. 139.
It’s the testimony of almost all saints that as they get closer to God they see more of their ungodliness. It’s normal to feel less holy as you become more holy. Being more aware of sin in your life is usually a sign of the Spirit’s sanctifying work, not of His withdrawal.
Kevin DeYoung, The Hole in Our Holiness, Crossway Books, p. 139.
