Billy Graham -THE JOURNEY
Richard Lovelace
We start each day with our personal security resting not on the accepting love of God and the sacrifice of Christ but on our present feelings or recent achievements in the Christian life. Since these arguments will not quiet the human conscience, we are inevitably moved either to discouragement and apathy or to a self-righteousness which falsifies the record to achieve a sense of peace. But the faith that is able to warm itself at the fire of God’s love, instead of having to steal love and self-acceptance from other sources, is actually the root of peace.
Richard Lovelace
John Gerstner, Theology for Everyman, Moody, 1965, chapitre 5.
This, then, is how Jesus made atonement – how He paid it all. The punishment which was due to us He voluntarily received. The death which was the wages of our sin He underwent. The stripes with which we deserved to be beaten fell upon His willing back. The chastisement which was owing us was borne by Him. The price we would have paid by endless suffering He paid by an infinite sacrifice. It should have been I who cried out, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” It should have been He who said: “I am persuaded that nothing shall separate me from the love of God.” Because Jesus paid it all, it was He who was forsaken and we who never shall be. Because He drank the full cup of divine wrath, we shall never taste it. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.”
John Gerstner, Theology for Everyman, Moody, 1965, Chapter 5.
Charles H. Spurgeon
I learn from the Scriptures that repentance is just as necessary to salvation as faith is, and the faith that has not repentance going with it will have to be repented of.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Oswald Chambers
I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him. ... When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance. ... Self-pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world.
Oswald Chambers
Adrian Rogers wrote : « It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. It is better to be hated for telling the truth than to be loved for telling a lie. It is better to stand alone with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel. »
Adrian Rogers wrote : « It's a fact of earthly life that when God opens the windows of heaven to bless us, the devil opens the doors of hell to blast us. When God begins moving, the devil fires up all his artillery. »
Henry Thiessen, Lectures in Systematic Theology, Eerdmans, 1949, p. 344-345.
Since mankind is hopelessly dead in trespasses and sins and can do nothing to obtain salvation, God graciously restores all men sufficient ability to make a choice in the matter of submission to Him… In His foreknowledge He perceives what each one will do with this restored ability, and elects men to salvation in harmony with His knowledge of their choice of Him.
Henry Thiessen, Lectures in Systematic Theology, Eerdmans, 1949, p. 344-345.
Saisir au vol une remarque nous permet de parler du Seigneur comme de quelqu’un que l’on connaît, qui fait partie de notre vie. Dieu n’est pas un concept, mais une Personne ; il est “le Dieu vivant et vrai” (1 Thessaloniciens 1. 9). Parler de Dieu, c’est parler de Jésus Christ et de la relation vivante que nous avons avec lui. »
Martin Luther, The Bondage of the Will, Revell, 1957, p. 102.
Man…does not do evil against his will, under pressure, as though he were taken by the scruff of the neck and dragged into it, like a thief…being dragged off against his will to punishment; but he does it spontaneously and voluntarily. And this willingness or volition is something which he cannot in his own strength eliminate, restrain or alter.
Martin Luther, The Bondage of the Will, Revell, 1957, p. 102.
Adrian Rogers wrote : « Mediation gives you knowledge about God. Obedience gives you knowledge of God. »
Prenez le temps de vous rendre compte qu'au beau milieu de nos préparatifs pour la célébration de la naissance du Christ dans l'ancienne Bethléem, le Christ renaît dans les Bethléem de nos foyers et de notre vie quotidienne. Prenez le temps, ralentissez, restez calmes, éveillez-vous au Mystère Divin qui semble si commun et si ordinaire tout en étant merveilleusement présent. Un vieil abbé aimait à dire : "Le diable est toujours le plus actif aux jours de fête les plus élevés". L'astuce suprême de Old Scratch est de nous avoir tellement occupés à décorer, préparer la nourriture, pratiquer la musique et nettoyer en préparation de la fête de Noël que nous manquons réellement la venue du Christ. Sentiments douloureux, colère, impatience, ego blessé - la liste des nuages que l'activité crée pour nous aveugler à la naissance peut être longue, mais elle nous est familière à tous.

Take time to be aware that in the very midst of our busy preparations for the celebration of Christ’s birth in ancient Bethlehem, Christ is reborn in the Bethlehems of our homes and daily lives. Take time, slow down, be still, be awake to the Divine Mystery that looks so common and so ordinary yet is wondrously present. An old abbot was fond of saying, "The devil is always the most active on the highest feast days." The supreme trick of Old Scratch is to have us so busy decorating, preparing food, practicing music and cleaning in preparation for the feast of Christmas that we actually miss the coming of Christ. Hurt feelings, anger, impatience, injured egos—the list of clouds that busyness creates to blind us to the birth can be long, but it is familiar to us all.
