Nos envies ressenties
La Bible nous enseigne que nos "envies ressenties" sont souvent des désirs de la chair. La plupart de nos "besoins ressentis" sont des désirs idolâtres. Ils sont destinés à être tués par l'Esprit, et non à être satisfaits. Tel est le chemin de la vie, de la liberté, de la sagesse et de la joie en Christ.
David Powlison, Seeing With New Eyes, 2003, p. 214.
The Bible teaches us that our “feel likes” are frequently desires of the flesh. Most of our “felt needs” are idolatrous desires. They are meant to be killed by the Spirit, not indulged. Such is the way of life, freedom, wisdom, and joy in Christ.

Un grand message à connaître
Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 75.
By His death on the Cross, Christ has become the Lamb that was slain for us, our Redeemer, the One who has made peace between us and God, who has taken our guilt on Himself, who has conquered our most deadly enemy and has assuaged the well-deserved wrath of God.

Le problème est la condition de l'auditeur
John MacArthur, 2 Corinthiens, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 131.
The issue is not the skill of the one proclaiming the message, the pa
ckaging of the message, or the technique used in proclaiming it. The issue is the condition of the hearer. Jesus illustrated that principle in the parable of the sower. The same message (the seed) is proclaimed by the same individual (the sower); the only variable is the condition of the four soils. What is essential for the messengers of the gospel is not cleverness but clarity. Only God can open the sin-blinded eyes of those who are “dead in [their] trespasses and sins” (Eph. 2:1; cf. v. 5; Matt. 8:22; Eph. 4:18).

L'unité
Eddie Rasnake, The Book of Ephesians, AMG Publishers, 2003, p. 93-94.
It is not our job to “produce” unity. Unity is “of the Spirit” (Ephesians 4:3). Unity is automatic when the Spirit is in control of everyone’s lives. Our job is to “preserve” the unity of the Spirit – to do nothing to disrupt the unity He is producing… We must take care of our relationships and be quick to clean up our offenses. We must make right our wrongs so that the unity of the Spirit is not disrupted.
Eddie Rasnake, The Book of Ephesians, AMG Publishers, 2003, p. 93-94.

L'apitoiement sur soi
John Younts, Everyday Talk, Talking Freely and Naturally about God with Your Children, Shepherd Press, 2004, p. 140.
Self-pity is a powerful, negative attitude that gives rise to many, many excuses for sin. People fall into Satan’s trap of giving themselves “permission” to sin to compensate for the difficulties and trials they’ve had to bear. Self-pity is a direct rejection of God’s control. It is saying, “I don’t like what you’ve done in my life, and I absolutely will not be content! I can’t change it, so I’ll just be angry and miserable.”

Je suis profondément reconnaissant pour ...
L'Évangile est la bonne nouvelle qui annonce la dévotion infaillible de Jésus envers nous malgré notre dévotion inconstante envers lui.
L'évangile n'est pas un ordre de s'accrocher à Jésus ; c'est une promesse que, peu importe la faiblesse et l'échec de notre foi et de nos efforts, Dieu s'accroche toujours à nous".
Tullian Tchividjian
“ What I'm most deeply grateful for is that God's love for us, approval of us, and commitment to us does not ride on our resolve but on Jesus’ resolve for us.
The gospel is the good news announcing Jesus’ infallible devotion to us despite our inconsistent devotion to him.
The gospel is not a command to hang on to Jesus; it's a promise that no matter how weak and unsuccessful our faith and efforts may be, God is always holding onto us.”

La sanctification progressive
Jerry Bridges, Transforming Grace, NavPress, 1991, p. 115.
Progressive sanctification very much involves our activity. But it is an activity that must be carried out in dependence on the Holy Spirit. It is not a partnership with the Spirit in the sense that we each – the believer and the Holy Spirit – do our respective tasks. Rather, we work as He enables us to work. His work lies behind all our work and makes our work possible… He is not dependent on us to do His work. But we are dependent on Him to do our work; we cannot do anything apart from Him.

Rusé
Philip Graham Ryken, When You Pray par Philip Graham Ryken, 2000, p. 163.
The devil’s cleverest ruse is to make men believe that he does not exist. Or to give us the false impression that he is a silly old character in a red suit with little horns and a forked tail. Or to convince us that his devilish powers are so overwhelming that we are helpless to resist.

Exercer la foi
Kent Hughes, James, 1991, p. 259.
It is better to fail in an attempt to exercise faith than to let it lie dormant and fruitless. God never belittles those who attempt to follow Him, but He does chasten those who refuse to attempt anything for Him.
Kent Hughes, James, 1991, p. 259.

Mémoriser la Bible
Scripture memory is a sharp, shining weapon against temptation. Memorizing Scripture invokes the aid of the Holy Spirit – God-on-the-scene in our struggles. The Spirit who dwells within us has the power to strengthen and comfort and gladden our hearts with His Word. The psalmist says in Psalm 119:11, “I have treasured Your Word in my heart so that I may not sin against You.” By the power of the Holy Spirit working through the Word, we are set free from the slavery of our sinful nature (Romans 8:2, 10-11; 2 Corinthians 3:17), we are convicted of any hidden sin (Psalms 19:12), we abound in the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and we abound with hope (Romans 15:13)!

Le temps passé seul avec Dieu
Pour Jésus, le temps passé seul avec Dieu n'était pas une option... L'évangile de Luc nous dit que "Jésus se retirait souvent dans des lieux solitaires et priait" (Lc. 5:16)... C'est précisément là que vous et moi passons si souvent à côté de tout ce que Dieu a pour nous. Contrairement à Jésus, nous essayons de vivre la vie avec notre propre énergie. Nous pensons que nous pouvons continuer à donner sans nous ressourcer. Puis, fatigués et affaiblis par les exigences de la vie et du ministère, nous devenons impatients et agacés par ceux-là mêmes que Dieu nous a envoyés servir. Au lieu de faire preuve d'un esprit de grâce, de calme et de joie, nous devenons tendus, épuisés et frénétiques (les gens), et nous ressentons, au lieu d'accueillir, les personnes et les opportunités que Dieu met dans nos vies.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss, A Place of Quiet Rest, Moody, 2000, p. 29.
For Jesus, time alone with God was not an option… The gospel of Luke tells us that “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” (Lk. 5:16)… This is precisely where you and I so often miss out on all that God has for us. Unlike Jesus, we attempt to live life in our own energy. We think we can keep giving out without getting replenished. Then, wearied and weakened by the demands of life and ministry, we become impatient and annoyed with the very ones God has sent us to serve. Rather than exhibiting a gracious, calm, joyous spirit, we become uptight, frazzled, and frenzied (people), resenting, rather than welcoming, the people and opportunities God brings into our lives.

Un Dieu qui fait des miracles !
John Napier, Charismatic Challenge, 2003, p. 68.
Our God is a miracle-working God! He still steps in to heal, to answer prayer, to perform His purposes. No doubt many of the reports are true. However, the miraculous reports coming from mission fields do not attest to the fact that biblical tongues and sign gifts still apply to today.

La communion avec Dieu (Philippiens 3.7-10)
Dieu a créé la race humaine pour qu’elle soit en relation avec lui. Il désirait que nous jouissions du même genre de communion avec lui qu’Adam et Ève. Quand le péché est apparu, tout a changé. La relation intime que Dieu souhaitait entretenir avec les humains a été rompue, et cette rupture nous a été transmise de génération en génération.
Approchons-nous de Dieu et goûtons aux bénédictions de le connaître.
