Satan doth sow most of his seed of temptation in hearts that lie fallow. When he sees persons unemployed, he will find work for them to do.

Ken Sande, The Peacemaker : A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict, Baker Books, 3d ed., 2004, p. 83.
To truly overlook an offense means to deliberately decide not to talk about it, dwell on it, or let it grow into pent-up bitterness. If you cannot let go of an offense in this way, if it is too serious to overlook, or if it continues as part of a pattern in the other person’s life, then you will need to go and talk to the other person about it in a loving and constructive manner.

John Wesley
We are to bear with those we cannot amend, and to be content with offering them to God. This is true resignation. And since He has borne our infirmities, we may well bear those of each other for His sake.
John Wesley
William Thrasher
To pray in the Holy Spirit simply means to lean upon His divine help as we pray.

John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 17.
It is illogical to think that an all-sufficient God created the world because of some personal need or internal inadequacy. There is no inadequacy in God. God is perfect in all His being and in all His ways. He is infinitely glorious and unchangeably happy. He has no need of improvement. God could not better His own perfection or see a need to. It would mean that God was not perfect before He did so.
John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 17.
Horatius Bonar, Follow the Lamb, 1861.
All error is, more or less, whether directly or indirectly, a misrepresentation of God’s character and a subversion of His revelation (Rev 22:18-19).
Horatius Bonar, Follow the Lamb, 1861.
Gérard Chrispin, La résurrection, un trésor méconnu, page 136
C’est être pétri de fausses certitudes et prendre des directions en fonction d’elles.
C’est croire les mensonges et bafouer la vérité.
C’est rechercher à se convaincre soi-même pour finalement en arriver à être en phase avec soi-même comme si la finalité ou la vérité se trouvait en soi.
C’est poursuivre le soi disant confort de ne pas avoir à se remettre en question sans se rendre compte que l’on marche dans la mauvaise direction.
C’est espérer après ce qui n’arrivera pas.
C’est passer à côté de la vérité sans la voir.
C’est vivre dans ce qui est relatif en déniant les absolus.
C’est cette capacité à se tromper et à s’abuser soi-même par ses propres raisonnements.
C’est faire ce qui n’est pas de notre ressort et ne pas faire ce qui est de notre part.
C’est avancer en tâtonnant sans même savoir où l’on va.
C’est vivre privé de perspectives tout en étant dépourvu de compréhension en rapport de ce que l’on vit.
C’est ne pas croire ce qu’il faut croire et croire dans ce qui est vain ou faux.
L’aveuglement est sans doute le handicap spirituel le plus répandu. C’est le résultat d’un voile qui est placé sur l’intelligence d’une personne la privant ainsi de tous discernements et la maintenant ainsi dans l’incrédulité.
Seul Dieu peut arracher un tel voile qui est commun à tous les hommes et chaque fois qu’il le fait c’est une grâce glorieuse qui nous fait passer des ténèbres à la lumière, de la mort à la vie.
2 Corinthiens 4.3-4 "Si notre Evangile est encore voilé, il est voilé pour ceux qui périssent, pour les incrédules dont le dieu de ce siècle a aveuglé l’intelligence, afin qu’ils ne voient pas briller la splendeur de l’Evangile de la gloire de Christ, qui est l’image de Dieu."

Martin Luther King Jr.
Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Adrian Rogers
You can sing all you want about how you love Jesus, you can have crocodile tears in your eyes, but the consecration that doesn't reach your purse has not reached your heart.
Adrian Rogers
Max Lucado
God's mercies are new every morning. Receive them.
Max Lucado
Daniel Webster
Mercy is forbearance to inflict harm under circumstances of provocation, when one has the power to inflict it; compassionate treatment of an offender or adversary; clemency.
Daniel Webster
Jean Calvin
God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.
John Calvin
Tim Keller
The reason that marriage is so painful and yet wonderful is because it is a reflection of the Gospel, which is painful and wonderful at once. The Gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.
Tim Keller
George Macdonald
God chooses that men should be tried, but let a man beware of tempting his neighbor. God knows how and how much, and where and when. Man is his brother's keeper, and must keep him according to his knowledge.
George Macdonald
Si vous essayez d'ajouter au salut de Dieu, vous en soustrayez. Si vous essayez d'ajouter au salut de Dieu, vous soustrayez. Si vous essayez de mériter le salut de Dieu, vous n'avez pas cru du tout, même si vous essayez de le faire un peu.
Tim Keller
If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to merit God's salvation you haven't believed at all, even if you try to do a little bit.
Tim Keller
Richard Sibbes
No sin is so great but the satisfaction of Christ and His mercies are greater; it is beyond comparison. Fathers and mothers in tenderest affections are but beams and trains to lead us upwards to the infinite mercy of God in Christ.
Richard Sibbes
Henry Drummond
The natural life, not less than the eternal, is the gift of God. But life in either case is the beginning of growth and not the end of grace. To pause where we should begin, to retrograde where we should advance, to seek a mechanical security that we may cover inertia and find a wholesale salvation in which there is no personal sanctification--this is Parasitism.
Henry Drummond
SAMUEL RUTHERFORD (vers 1600-1661)
PASTEUR PRESBYTÉRIEN ÉCOSSAIS
Believe God’s word and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences.
SAMUEL RUTHERFORD (C.1600–1661)

The true Christian is like sandalwood, which imparts its fragrance to the axe which cuts it, without doing any harm in return.

John Piper, Desiring God, Bethlehem Baptist Church, 1996, p. 66.
We must be deeply converted in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, and we are converted when Christ becomes for us a Treasure Chest of holy joy.

Dwight L. Moody
I know the Bible is inspired because it inspires me.
Dwight L. Moody
John Flavel
I think it is not very difficult to discern by the duties and converses of Christians, what frames their spirits are under. Take a Christian in a good frame, and how serious, heavenly, and profitable, will his converses and duties be! What a lovely companion is he during the continuance of it!
John Flavel
William Penn
If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it. No man is compelled to evil: his consent only makes it his. It is no sin to be tempted, but to be overcome.
William Penn

The cross is the greatest example of humility and devotion in the universe. Jesus put your needs ahead of His own. He considered you more valuable than Himself.

The world offers a cistern; Christ offers a well.

Albert Barnes
The idea of preaching the gospel to all nations alike, regardless of nationality, of internal divisions as to rank and color, complexion and religion, constituted the beginning of a new era in history. You cannot preach the gospel in its purity over the world, without proclaiming the doctrine of civil and religious liberty,--without overthrowing the barriers reared between nations and clans and classes of men,--without ultimately undermining the thrones of despots, and breaking off the shackles of slavery,--without making men everywhere free.
Albert Barnes

How extraordinary to find the common bond of love expressed in a shared poverty. On this basis He could speak to us of shared values, of a vision and a mission we could make our own. From the manger, this Child of the virgin Mary could speak to us of our destiny, our dignity, our ability, in His Name, to change not only ourselves but the world. Here we hear of our God-given rights and of our responsibilities as God's adopted children. This Child will come to represent everything that is inspiring in terms of mercy, of compassion, of love, of justice and of peace. Christmas is a time to renew one's spirit in the message and in the challenge of the Christ Child, a time to determine to become more credible witnesses to Him.
