Tels nous sommes aux yeux de Dieu le Père, comme l'est le Fils de Dieu lui-même. Que cela soit considéré comme de la folie, de la frénésie, de la fureur ou autre. C'est notre sagesse et notre réconfort ; nous n'avons besoin d'aucune autre connaissance au monde que celle-ci : que l'homme a péché et que Dieu a souffert ; que Dieu s'est fait le péché des hommes, et que les hommes sont devenus la justice de Dieu.
Thomas Hooker
Such we are in the sight of God the Father, as is the very Son of God Himself. Let it be counted folly or frenzy or fury or whatever. It is our wisdom and our comfort; we care for no knowledge in the world but this: that man has sinned and God has suffered; that God has made Himself the sin of men, and that men are made the righteousness of God.
Thomas Hooker
Ed Silvoso
Preaching the truth without love is like giving someone a kiss when you have bad breath. No matter how good the kiss, no one will come back for a second one. This is what happens when, in anger or disgust, we tell the lost how terrible and depraved they are. Even though it all may be true, our negative approach blocks and distorts the central message of the Bible—that God sent His Son not to condemn the world, but to save it (see John 3:17).
Ed Silvoso
Dans certains cas, rediriger les éloges de cette manière entraînera l’hostilité des personnes qui vous ont déjà admiré ; le monde haïssait le Christ et il déteste souvent un témoin fidèle.
Mais nous devons accepter ce risque afin de témoigner non pas de nous-mêmes, mais du Christ."

The cross…always has its way. It wins by defeating its opponent and imposing its will upon him. It always dominates. It never compromises, never dickers nor confers, never surrenders a point for the sake of peace. It cares not for peace; it cares only to end its opposition as fast as possible. With perfect knowledge of all this, Christ said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” So the cross not only brings Christ’s life to an end, it ends also the first life, the old life, of every one of His true followers. It destroys the old pattern, the Adam pattern, in the believer’s life, and brings it to an end. Then the God who raised Christ from the dead raises the believer and a new life begins. This, and nothing less, is true Christianity… We must do something about the cross, and one of two things only we can do – flee it or die upon it.

Dans ces circonstances-là, souvenez-vous que vous n’êtes jamais seul, même le jour le plus sombre. Le même Seigneur qui avait son œil sur son serviteur David veille sur vous en ce moment même. Le même Dieu, qui l’a dirigé fidèlement et a pris soin de lui, entend vos cris. David s’est confié en Dieu pour être délivré ; vous pouvez aussi vous confier en Lui ! »
Peut-être vous interrogez-vous : “Mais qu’est-ce que la vie éternelle ?” Jésus lui-même répond : “La vie éternelle, c’est qu’ils te connaissent, toi le seul vrai Dieu, et celui que tu as envoyé, Jésus Christ” (Jean 17. 3). Cette certitude, que le croyant reçoit par la foi, repose sur la puissance de Dieu et son amour (1 Corinthiens 2. 5). Elle produit une heureuse attente : celle d’être éternellement avec Jésus, son Sauveur et son Dieu. »

Go to God by prayer for a key to unlock the mysteries of His Word. It is not the plodding but the praying soul, that will get this treasure of Scripture knowledge. God often brings a truth to the Christian’s hand as a return of prayer, which he had long hunted for in vain with much labour and study: “There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets” (Daniel 2:28); and where doth He reveal the secrets of His world but at the throne of grace?

The Scriptures bear ample and continuous evidence that the faith of the resurrection of the body lies in the faith that Jesus Christ died and rose again.

Jesus on the Cross feels the whole weight of the evil, and with the force of God's love he conquers it, he defeats it with his resurrection.

Augustin, Confessions.
How sweet all at once it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys which I had once feared to lose and was now glad to reject! You drove them from me, You who are the true, the sovereign joy. You drove them from me and took their place, You who are sweeter than all pleasure, though not to flesh and blood, You who outshine all light yet are hidden deeper than any secret in our hearts, You who surpass all honor though not in the eyes of men who see all honor in themselves. At last my mind was free from the gnawing anxieties of ambition and gain, from wallowing in filth and scratching the itching sore of lust. I began to talk to you freely, O Lord my God, my Light, my Wealth, and my Salvation.
Augustine, Confessions.

To reject the authority of God is the height of arrogant wickedness. To do so is to imitate the works of Satan, and there is no excuse for it. God is holy and just. His word is true and trustworthy. He does not deceive or speak with a forked tongue. When He commands us He commands us for our good and His glory. As His adopted children and subjects, we are called to submit to Him. We are called to trust Him and obey Him.

You are always on duty in the Christian life, you can never relax. There is no such thing as a holiday in the spiritual realm.
