La prière est inséparable de l’amour, au point que nos prières seront en quelque sorte la mesure de notre amour.

The most fundamental reason Jesus Christ went to the cross is not His love for us (though that is true), but rather His desire to obey His Father’s will.

When a group of British ministers discussed inviting D.L. Moody for a crusade, one minister asked: "Why must it be Moody? Does D.L. Moody have a monopoly on the Holy Spirit?" Quietly, one of the other ministers replied: "No, but it's evident that the Holy Spirit has a monopoly on D.L. Moody."

To read the Bible and not to meditate was seen as an unfruitful exercise: better to read one chapter and meditate afterward then to read several chapters and not to meditate. Likewise to meditate and not to pray was like preparing to run a race and never leaving the starting line. The three duties of reading Scripture, meditation, and prayer belonged together, and though each could be done occasionally on its own, as formal duties to God they were best done together.

A.W. Tozer
God is a Person, and in the deep of His mighty nature He thinks, wills, enjoys, feels, loves, desires and suffers as any other person may. In making Himself known to us He stays by the familiar pattern of personality. He communicates with us through the avenues of our minds, our wills and our emotions. The continuous and unembarrassed interchange of love and thought between God and the soul of the redeemed man is the throbbing heart of the New Testament.

Charles H. Spurgeon, Evening by Evening, 3 mars.
Keep your eye simply on Him; let His death, His sufferings, His merits, His glories, His intercession, be fresh upon thy mind; when you wake in the morning look to Him; when thou lie down at night look to Him. Oh! let not your hopes or fears come between thee and Jesus; follow hard after Him, and He will never fail you.
Charles H. Spurgeon, Evening by Evening, March 3.

The cross ultimately points not to the greatness of our worth but to the greatness of our sin… The cross sets us free from the misguided self-love to passionately love the One who redeemed us.

L'une des raisons de l'échec général des résolutions personnelles est peut-être notre hâte à les prendre. Si nous prenions le temps de réfléchir, d'étudier et de prier avant de nous précipiter dans un autre exercice futile, peut-être connaîtrions-nous le succès. Dieu promet que son peuple finira par réussir, pas nécessairement dans des activités mondaines ou vaines, mais dans notre quête de la sainteté. Il nous a dit que nous sommes en train d'être sanctifiés - nous sommes rendus semblables à Christ (Romains 8:29). Mais nous savons aussi que l'outil principal de notre sanctification n'est pas notre détermination personnelle, mais plutôt Dieu qui agit en nous par sa Parole (Jean 17:17). Si la Bible est le meilleur outil de Dieu, nous devons en faire le nôtre aussi.

Perhaps one reason for the general failure of personal resolutions is our haste in making them. If we were to take some time to think, study, and pray before we hurry into another exercise in futility, maybe we would actually experience success. God promises that His people will ultimately be successful, not necessarily in worldly or vain pursuits, but in our pursuit of holiness. He has told us that we are being sanctified – we are being made like Christ (Romans 8:29). But we also know that the main tool in our sanctification is not our own personal resolve, but rather God working in us through His Word (John 17:17). If the Bible is God’s best tool, we should make it ours as well.

1. Elle nous oblige à identifier notre péché et à le traiter de manière spécifique, au lieu de dire en général : "Que Dieu me pardonne mes péchés".
2. Cela nous sort de l'isolement spirituel.
3. Elle élimine toute tentation d'hypocrisie puisqu'au moins une autre personne est consciente de notre faiblesse.
4. Elle favorise l'humilité qui est nécessaire pour combattre la chair.
5. Elle encourage la responsabilité.
6. Elle amène les autres à porter notre fardeau.
7. Elle sollicite la prière des autres dans cette bataille spirituelle.

Reasons why confessing our sin to another aids in spiritual victory (James. 5:16):
1. It forces us to identify our sin and deal with specifics as compared to the general, “God forgive me for my sins.”
2. It pulls us out of spiritual isolation.
3. It eliminates any temptation toward hypocrisy since at least one other person is aware of our weakness.
4. It promotes humility which is needed to fight the flesh.
5. It encourages accountability.
6. It gets others to bear our burden.
7. It solicits prayer from others in this spiritual battle.

Charles H. Spurgeon
It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Horatius Bonar, Light and Truth, v. 3, The Acts and Larger Epistles, 1869.
If you are Christians, be consistent. Be Christians out and out; Christians every hour, in every part. Beware of halfhearted discipleship, of compromise with evil, of conformity to the world, of trying to serve two masters – to walk in two ways, the narrow and the broad, at once. It will not do. Halfhearted Christianity will only dishonor God, while it makes you miserable.
Horatius Bonar, Light and Truth, v. 3, The Acts and Larger Epistles, 1869.
La force et le bonheur d'un homme consistent à découvrir la voie dans laquelle Dieu s'engage, et à s'y engager aussi.
Henry Ward Beecher
The strength and happiness of a man consists in finding out the way in which God is going, and going that way too.
Henry Ward Beecher
