Charles H. Spurgeon
But there are some who say, “It is hard for God to choose some and leave others.” Now, I will ask you one question. Is there any of you here this morning who wishes to be holy, who wishes to be regenerate, to leave off sin and walk in holiness? “Yes, there is,” says someone, “I do.” Then God has elected you. But another says, “No; I don’t want to be holy; I don’t want to give up my lusts and my vices.” Why should you grumble, then, that God has not elected you to it? For if you were elected you would not like it, according to your own confession. If God this morning had chosen you to holiness, you say you would not care for it. Do you not acknowledge that you prefer drunkenness to sobriety, dishonesty to honesty? You love this world’s pleasures better than religion; then why should you grumble that God has not chosen you to religion? If you love religion, He has chosen you to it. If you desire it, He has chosen you to it. If you do not, what right have you to say that God ought to have given you what you do not wish for?
Charles H. Spurgeon
Jésus
I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.(John 11:25-26)

Our idols are not golden calves or carved statues. Idolatry is not tied to any specific idol; it exists whenever we look to someone or something in the world around us to save and satisfy us. Just as every age has its own problems, each has a fresh cast of new idols it creates to solve them. We reject the refreshing and rest-filled salvation of the Lord and hew for ourselves cisterns that give the illusion of holding water but are really bottomless pits. Try as we might, every new cistern fails, and we are left looking for some new solution to our temptations, fears, anxieties, and self-righteousness. The insidious lie of idols is that they prey on our hope. Every day they demand our work and devotion, offering nothing in return but promising us that "just a little more" will do it.
Ed Stetzer
Si nous suivons les enseignements de la Bible, nous sommes alors gardés de beaucoup d’excès qui souvent ruinent la santé. Nous nous attachons au Seigneur, et nos pensées ne sont plus exclusivement tournées vers nous-mêmes, nos facultés physiques et mentales trouvent un nouveau ressort. Cela ne veut pas dire que nous ne serons jamais malades. Non, nous ne sommes pas épargnés des souffrances communes à tous les humains ; mais acceptons-les avec soumission et patience, sachant que Dieu nous aime, qu’il veut notre bien ».

Here are some questions to help us examine ourselves as Paul exhorts us to do in 2 Cor 13:5. What is my attitude toward God? Do I gladly acknowledge my dependence on him, and my accountability to him? What is my attitude toward my sin? Am I concerned, or indifferent about it? What is my attitude toward Jesus Christ? Do I trust in Him as the one who died from my sin on the cross? What is my attitude toward the Bible? Do I truly want to grow in my understanding and application of it in my life? What is my attitude toward prayer? Do I also want to grow in this area of my life, or am I quite content to see prayer as an occasional call out to God for help? What is my attitude toward other Christians? These are important questions that we should seek to answer truthfully. The stakes are too high to ignore them or play games with our eternal destinies.

L'Esprit permet à nos efforts d'exposer la Bible de porter du fruit, mais Son travail n'élimine pas la nécessité d'une exégèse soigneuse et logique. Dans le dessein de Dieu, l'Esprit et l'esprit humain sont destinés à travailler ensemble, chacun remplissant sa propre fonction.
Alwyn York, The Holy Spirits Illumination of Scripture.
The Spirit makes it possible for our efforts to expound the Bible to bear fruit, but His work does not eliminate the need for careful, logical exegesis. In the design of God, the Spirit and the human mind are meant to work together, each performing its own proper function.

“If there is one characteristic more than others that contemporary public worship needs to recapture, it is this awe before the surpassingly great and gracious God.”
Henry Sloane Coffin
Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur s'est rendu afin de pouvoir vaincre ; il a détruit ses ennemis en mourant pour eux et a vaincu la mort en laissant la mort le conquérir.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.

Erroll Hulse
The remission of sin proceeds from the passive obedience of Christ, His offering up of Himself as the propitiation for our sins. Christ’s active obedience provides that righteousness which constitutes the believer righteous. It is human righteousness. The incarnation was essential. As man he lived out righteousness for us throughout his life on earth.

Hope is called the anchor of the soul (Hebrews 6:19), because it gives stability to the Christian life. But hope is not simply a ‘wish’; rather, it is that which latches on to the certainty of the promises of the future that God has made.
R.C. Sproul
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
We must tell stories the way God does, stories in which a sister must float her little brother on a river with nothing but a basket between him and the crocodiles. Stories in which a king is a coward, and a shepherd boy steps forward to face the giant. Stories with fiery serpents and leviathans and sermons in whirlwinds. Stories in which murderers are blinded on donkeys and become heroes. Stories with dens of lions and fiery furnaces and lone prophets laughing at kings and priests and demons. Stories with heads on platters. Stories with courage and crosses and redemption. Stories with resurrections.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
- l’humilité, par l’expression de nos besoins profonds,
- la foi, qui saisit alors toutes les promesses de Dieu,
- l’espérance, qui se réjouit déjà de leur réalisation,
- la conscience de l’amour de Jésus, qui s’est livré pour chacun de nous, et en retour l’amour pour lui et l’amour pour tous ceux dont nous lui parlons,
- la patience, parce qu’on renonce à intervenir et à s’agiter, pour laisser Dieu agir.
Il ne s’agit pas de dicter à Dieu ce qu’il doit faire : si nous ne renonçons pas à notre volonté, nous ne comprendrons pas la réponse divine. Si nous avons des sentiments d’animosité et de rancune contre quelqu’un, ne les tolérons pas plus longtemps. C’est d’abord à nous que de tels sentiments font du mal. Prions pour cette personne et nous serons rendus capables de l’aimer. “Père, pardonne-leur…” disait Jésus pour ses bourreaux.
Par la lecture de la Parole de Dieu, nous connaîtrons mieux qui est le Père, et Jésus qui nous l’a révélé. Ce sera le moyen de connaître la volonté de Dieu, de prier en harmonie avec celle-ci, et il nous exaucera ».

Jesus came to our world in a flesh and bone 'earth suit' - the opposite of a spacesuit - making himself totally approachable, touchable, and relatable as He entered our earthly atmosphere.

Le chrétien qui se prépare à la venue du Seigneur peut être méprisé par tous ceux qui disent : "Paix et sécurité !" Il sera regardé comme une curiosité par ceux qui, comme les gens du temps de Noé, ne savent rien jusqu'à ce que le déluge arrive. Mais lorsque Dieu fendra les cieux, que les étoiles tomberont et que les hommes pleureront sur les rochers et les montagnes, ce sera son jour !
Vance Havner
The Christian who prepares for the coming of the Lord may be scorned by all who say, "Peace and safety!" He will be eyed as a curiosity by those who, like people of Noah's day, know not until the flood comes. But when God splits the skies and the stars fall and men cry for the rocks and mountains, that will be his day!
