La "croissance dans la grâce"
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 170.
“Growth in grace” pleases God. It may seem a wonderful thing, no doubt, that anything done by such creatures as we are can give pleasure to the Most High God. But so it is. The Scripture speaks of walking so as to “please God.” The Scripture says there are sacrifices with which “God is well-pleased.” (1 Thes. 4:1; Heb. 13:16.) The husbandman loves to see the plants on which he has bestowed labor flourishing and bearing fruit. It cannot but disappoint and grieve him to see them stunted and standing still. Now what does our Lord Himself say? “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.” – “Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” (John 15:1, 8.) The Lord takes pleasure in all His people – but specially in those that grow.

La sainteté de Dieu
Steve Swartz, Strength in the River, 2016, Kress Biblical Resources, p. 28.
The Bible makes no apology about assigning the existence of calamity to God, yet God’s holiness is never compromised.

Le moralisme
William Farley, Gospel-Powered Parenting, 2009, p. 42.
Moralism – the idea that we merit God’s favor by being good – is the deadly enemy of [the] Christian… Moralism trusts in its own goodness, virtue, and principled intentions to get a “not guilty” verdict from God on the Day of Judgment. It is deceptive. A cloak of morality over an unregenerate heart can make it difficult to discern [one’s] true spiritual condition.

Juger la doctrine et le comportement
Tim Challies, The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment par Tim Challies, 2007, page 77.
We may judge doctrine and behavior by the objective standards of right and wrong that are given to us in Scripture. What we may not do though, is judge a person’s heart and motives.

L'amour
Alexander Strauch, Leading With Love, Lewis and Roth, 2006, p. 82.
Love bears up under the heavy load of life’s problems and sufferings. It holds steadfast and remains strong despite opposition, deprivation, and hard work. Love is courageous. It can carry enormous weight; thus loving leaders have an amazing ability to endure all sorts of suffering and frustration for the sake of others and the gospel (1
Corinthians 9:12). This is a trait of all good shepherds (Genesis 31:38-40). They persevere and do not give up easily or fall apart under pressure.

Lorsque nous péchons contre lui
Greg Gilbert, Don't Call it a Comeback, édité par Kevin DeYoung, copyright 2011, page 74.
When we sin against Him, breaking His law, worshipping idols, searching for satisfaction in created things rather than in Him, we reject His kingship over us and thereby make ourselves liable to His good and righteous judgment.

Jésus parla
David Platt, Follow Me, 2013, page 19.
The very first word out of Jesus’ mouth in His ministry is clear: repent. It’s the same word that John the Baptist proclaims in preparation for Jesus’ coming. This word is also the foundation for the first Christian sermon in the book of Acts. After Peter proclaims the good news of Christ’s death for sin, the crowds ask him, “What shall we do?” Peter looks them right in their eyes and says, “Repent.”

Jésus-Christ était vraiment et réellement Homme
Fixons dans nos esprits cette grande vérité, que Jésus-Christ était vraiment et réellement Homme. Il était égal au Père en toutes choses, et le Dieu éternel. Mais il était aussi Homme, il a pris part à la chair et au sang, il a été rendu semblable à nous en toutes choses, à l'exception du péché. Il avait un corps semblable au nôtre. Comme nous, il est né d'une femme. Comme nous, il a grandi et a grandi en taille. Comme nous, il a souvent eu faim et soif, il s'est senti faible et fatigué. Comme nous, il a mangé et bu, s'est reposé et a dormi. Comme nous, il s'est affligé, a pleuré et a ressenti. Tout cela est très merveilleux, mais c'est ainsi. Celui qui a créé les cieux est allé et venu comme un pauvre homme fatigué sur la terre ! Lui qui régnait sur les principautés et les puissances dans les lieux célestes, a pris sur Lui un corps frêle comme le nôtre. Celui qui aurait pu demeurer éternellement dans la gloire qu'il avait auprès du Père, au milieu des louanges de légions d'anges, est descendu sur terre et a habité comme un homme parmi les hommes pécheurs. Ce seul fait est assurément un miracle étonnant de condescendance, de grâce, de pitié et d'amour.
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, copyright 2010, p. 197.
Let us settle in our minds this great truth, that Jesus Christ was verily and indeed Man. He was equal to the Father in all things, and the eternal God. But He was also Man, and took part of flesh and blood, and was made like unto us in all things, sin only excepted. He had a body like our own. Like us, He was born of a woman. Like us, He grew and increased in stature. Like us, He was often hungry and thirsty, and faint and weary. Like us, He ate and drank, rested and slept. Like us, He sorrowed, and wept, and felt. It is all very wonderful, but so it is. He that made the heavens went to and fro as a poor, weary Man on earth! He that ruled over principalities and powers in heavenly places, took on Him a frail body like our own. He that might have dwelt forever in the glory which He had with the Father, amidst the praises of legions of angels, came down to earth and dwelt as a Man among sinful men. Surely this fact alone is an amazing miracle of condescension, grace, pity, and love.

God takes initiative and moves toward us; we take the initiative toward others.

Face à un conflit
Face à un conflit, la première et la plus importante chose à retenir est la suivante : Soyez contrôlé par l'Esprit, pas hors de contrôle.
Alexander Strauch, Leading With Love, Lewis and Roth, 2006, p. 166
When facing a conflict, the first and most important thing to remember is this: Be Spirit-controlled, not out of control.

La prière à Jésus-Christ
John MacArthur et Richard Mayhue, Doctrine biblique, 2017, page 256.
Prayer to Jesus Christ constitutes yet another evidence for his deity. Jesus instructed His disciples to pray to Him (John 14:14; 15:16; 16:23-24). Acts 1:24-25 records that the disciples prayed to Christ for guidance in choosing a replacement for Judas Iscariot. Stephen voiced two prayerful requests to Jesus: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit,” and “Lord, do not hold this sin against them” (Acts 7:59-60). In Damascus, Ananias instructed Saul to be baptized and to call on the name of Jesus (Acts 22:16). The apostle Paul later wrote that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom. 10:13; see 1 Cor. 1:2). Paul also appealed to Christ to remove the “messenger of Satan” from him (2 Corinthians 12:7-8). Indeed, the New Testament closes with a prayer to Christ: “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev. 22:20).

Le but de la prière
David Platt, Follow Me, 2013, page 112.
The purpose of prayer is not for the disciple to bring information to God; the purpose of prayer is for the disciple to experience intimacy with God.

Les réponses à la prière
Iain Duguid, Living in the Grip of Relentless Grace, 2002, p. 4.
It sometimes turns out that the longest-delayed answers to prayer are the most faith-building, because when they are finally answered we see in them most clearly the hand of God.

Pourquoi peut-on faire confiance dans la Bible ? (1)
jeudi 10 février 2022
Se renseigner
Sam Storms, One Thing, Christian Focus, 2004, p.81.
If we do not know who God is and how He thinks and what He does, we have no grounds for joy, no reason to celebrate, no basis for finding satisfaction in God. Delight in God cannot occur in an intellectual vacuum. Our joy is the fruit of what we know and believe to be true of God. Emotional heat (i.e., joy, delight, gladness of heart) apart from intellectual light (knowledge of God) is useless. Worse still, it is dangerous, for it inevitably leads to fanaticism and idolatry.

Les églises locales
Curtis Thomas, Life in the Body of Christ, Founders Press, 2006, p. 68-69.
Local Churches have in their membership people who are professing believers, some of whom are genuinely saved, while others are unsaved and are still lost in their sins. Sometimes it is impossible to clearly distinguish between the two, because often unbelieving members exhibit many of the outward characteristics of believers. But the Lord knows who are His.

La persévérance dans la prière
Bill Thrasher, A Journey to Victorious Praying, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 189-190.
Perseverance in prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance but rather laying hold of God’s willingness. Our sovereign God has purposed to sometimes require persevering prayer as the means to accomplish His will.

L'église locale

The local church enables the world to look upon the canvas of God’s people and see an authentic painting of Christ’s love and holiness, not a forgery.

Le plaisir du péché
John MacArthur, 2 Corinthians, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 266.
The pleasure of sin is brief while the sorrow it produces lasts; the sorrow of repentance is brief, while the joy it produces lasts.

La gloire de la croix
Sinclair Ferguson, Grow in Grace, p. 58.
How…could God remain equally faithful to His love for us and His just judgment of our sins? The glory of the cross, its unimaginable wisdom lies in the way God has devised to provide salvation for His people.

Un profond amour pour Jésus
David Mathis, Don't Call it a Comeback, édité par Kevin DeYoung, 2011, p. 227.
It is profoundly loving for Jesus to exalt Himself. He cannot love the nations without putting Himself on display because it is He alone who truly satisfies the human soul. This makes God’s heart for God the deepest foundation from missions.
David Mathis, Don’t Call it a Comeback, edited by Kevin DeYoung, 2011, p. 227.

La vie de George Mueller
Bill Thrasher, A Journey to Victorious Praying, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 79.
In the first years of George Mueller’s Christian life, he spent more time reading the works of men than the Scriptures. Up until the day of his conversion he could not even recall reading one chapter of the Book of books. However, in the ninety-second year of his life he told his biographer that for every page he had read in any other book he was sure that he had proportionately read ten pages of the Bible. During the last twenty years of his life he read through the Scripture four or five times annually. In studying Mueller’s life I have discovered that his devotion and delight in God’s Word was the secret to his faith and life of prayer.

Le but de la pratique des disciplines spirituelles
Karl Graustein, Growing Up Christian, 2005, p. 199.
The purpose of practicing spiritual disciplines is to grow in our love for and devotion to God. But we can wrongly do them to try to earn God’s approval, avoid His punishment, or gain His blessings. We can even focus on gaining knowledge of the things of God for the sake of appearing godly and impressing others. We can also complete our personal quiet times to avoid feeling guilty.

C'est une guerre
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 109.
There is another warfare of far greater importance than any war that was ever waged by man. It is a warfare which concerns not two or three nations only, but every Christian man and woman born into the world. The warfare I speak of is the spiritual warfare. It is the fight which everyone who would be saved must fight about his soul… It has its watchings and fatigues. It has its sieges and assaults. It has its victories and its defeats. Above all, it has consequences which are awful, tremendous, and most peculiar. In earthly warfare the consequences to nations are often temporary and remediable. In the spiritual warfare it is very different. Of that warfare, the consequences, when the fight is over, are unchangeable and eternal.
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 109.
