Those who teach by their doctrine must teach by their life, or else they pull down with one hand what they build up with the other.

Now what is food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water passes through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering it over and applying it to our hearts.

Jonathan Edwards, édition révisée par Philip E. Howard Jr, The Life and Diary of David Brainerd, Moody Press, 1949, p. 81.
David Brainerd prayed with fasting for the Lord’s leadership regarding his entry into ministry. He said of his experience during that day, “I felt the power of intercession for precious, immortal souls; for the advancement of the kingdom of my dear Lord and Saviour in the world; and withal, a most sweet resignation and even consolation and joy in the thoughts of suffering hardships, distresses, and even death itself, in the promotion of it…. My soul was drawn out very much for the world, for multitudes of souls. I think I had more enlargement for sinners than for the children of God, though I felt as if I could spend my life in cries for both. I enjoyed great sweetness in communion with my dear Saviour. I think I never in my life felt such an entire weanedness from this world and so much resigned to God in everything."

- Protection du diable (Matthieu 6.13)
- Protection de l’unité (Jean 17.11)
- Protection des attaques (Jean 17.15)
Attention : « Le diable rode autour de nous comme un lion rugissant ». Il cherche non seulement à nous faire peur, mais aussi à nous dévorer ! C’est pourquoi, il nous faut être vigilants, sobres, et armés jusqu’aux dents et opposer une foi inébranlable (1 Pierre 5.8).

We must understand that sin is a desire. We don’t fall into sin. We may be tempted, but sin is a personal choice we make and one to which we are responsible. Simply put, we sin because we want to sin. We believe sin will bring us greater pleasure, greater joy than obedience.

We would think of God, then, as maintaining the unity of His uncreated Being throughout all His works and His years, as ever saying not only, "I did," and "I will do," but also "I do" and "I am doing." A robust faith requires that we grasp this truth firmly, yet we know how seldom such a thought enters our minds.

Pâques est l'interprétation du Vendredi saint. La signification de la Croix est révélée dans la Résurrection. La Résurrection n'est pas tant une simple suite de la Croix, ou un renversement de la Croix, ou une récompense ultérieure en raison de l'endurance de la Croix. Elle est plutôt une révélation de ce que la Croix était déjà.

" LE CHRIST NOTRE VIE "
Easter is the interpretation of Good Friday. The significance of the Cross is revealed in the Resurrection. The Resurrection is not so much a mere sequel to the Cross; or a reversal of the Cross;or a subsequent reward because of the endurance of the Cross. Rather, it is a revealing of what the Cross already was.

“CHRIST OUR LIFE”
Bob Kauflin
The cross stands for all that was accomplished through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God. It focuses on His substitutionary death at Calvary but includes everything that gave meaning to that act. His preexistent state in glory. His incarnation. His life of perfect obedience. His suffering. His resurrection. His ascension. His present intercession and reign in glory. His triumphant return.

Beloved, I say, let your fears go, lest they make you fainthearted. Stop inspiring fear in those around you and now take your stand in faith. God has been good and He will continue to manifest His goodness. Let us approach these days expecting to see the goodness of the Lord manifest. Let us be strong and of good courage, for the Lord will fight for us if we stand in faith.

The Bible is accurate archeologically, geographically, historically, systematically, scientifically, prophetically, and it is miraculous in that it is life changing. It was written over a span of 1,500 years, by more than 40 authors, spanning 3 continents, and yet is perfect in accuracy. Try to apply this test to other religious books!

Biblical confession also includes a horizontal dimension – confession to one another, where we find powerful healing. Confession to God alone often does not lift us into the freedom we desire. With God alone, confession can be too easy. It is too easy to save face, and there is no healing, no release, in saving face, however earnest the confession to God might seem to be. Confession to God alone can be a way of not really facing ourselves and our sins. James 5:16 shows us where freedom can be found: “Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”

Ceux qui acceptent l’évangile y découvrent la réalité de l’amour et de la sagesse de Dieu qui nous a créés. Il ne s’agit pas d’une secte, d’un produit de mode ou d’une source d’engouement passager. Pour quelle raison ? Tout simplement parce que l’évangile n’est pas le fruit de l’imagination humaine, d’une idée qu’un homme aurait conçue. Il est la révélation personnelle du Dieu de grâce, qui non seulement déclare pouvoir combler les besoins spirituels de l’humanité mais a déjà agi dans ce sens. Qui que vous soyez, où que vous viviez, l’évangile a la puissance de vous transformer et de vous soutenir. C’est la bonne nouvelle de Dieu, celle du pardon et du salut par la mort de son Fils (Romains 1. 16).
Notre foi ne repose pas sur la sagesse humaine, mais sur la puissance de Dieu, celle-là même qui a ressuscité Jésus, transformant ainsi une scène de désespoir en victoire. Ceux qui croient ne sont pas des naïfs ; ils ont simplement accepté les témoignages fiables rapportés par les premiers chrétiens dans la Parole de Dieu, et cette parole a tout changé dans leur vie.

That's what I love about serving God. In His eyes, there are no little people because there are no big people. We are all on the same playing field.

If we serve, if we are genuinely New Covenant servants that get engaged in the lives of real human beings, there will always be the temptation to lose heart. So how do we overcome it? Just within this section of Scripture (of 2 Corinthians) I draw this following conclusion: Almighty God has fulfilled all His promises in the New Covenant. This is the most worthy cause to be fighting for. He has poured out His Spirit to give me all the assistance I need. As I gaze upon the glory of the Lord, I am aware of noticeable transformation in my life. This is evidence of His presence. He is with me and He wants to use me to transform others. What an honor to serve the living God regardless of the visible results. All that I have in salvation and ministry is a result of His mercy. I must show that same mercy I have received to others. This ministry is not mine, it is His. I’ll give all the problem people to Him. It’s not easy, but God will allow me to persevere if I keep my eyes on Him through the heartaches of service. He is using me as He wills, and while I serve others He is in making me more like Himself in my own Christlike transformation. Therefore, how can I lose heart (2 Cor. 4:1)?

Come, and see the victories of the cross. Christ’s wounds are thy healings, His agonies thy repose, His conflicts thy conquests, His groans thy songs, His pains thine ease, His shame thy glory, His death thy life, His sufferings thy salvation.

L'Apocalypse n'est pas un livre ordinaire. Il s'agit d'une analyse globale de l'histoire, depuis le premier avènement du Christ jusqu'au second. Jésus avait promis que l'Esprit enseignerait à ses apôtres "toutes choses" (Jean 14:26). L'Esprit était venu et avait accompli la promesse. Les apôtres avaient communiqué la parole qui faisait autorité. La tâche de la révélation était terminée. Le livre de l'Apocalypse est la dernière parole apostolique adressée à l'Église. Le Sauveur tout-puissant, assis à la droite de Dieu, ouvre personnellement ses lèvres souveraines pour déclarer que rien ne doit être ajouté à ce qui a été enregistré. Prenez garde de ne pas vous mêler de la révélation du Christ.
Walter Chantry, Signes des Apôtres, 1976, p. 35-37.2.
Revelation is no usual book. It is a sweeping analysis of history from the first advent of Christ to the second. Jesus had promised that the Spirit would teach His apostles “all things” (John 14:26). The Spirit had come and fulfilled the promise. Apostles had communicated the authoritative word. The task of revelation was finished. The Book of Revelation is the last apostolic word to the church. The Almighty Saviour, seated at God’s right hand, opens His sovereign lips personally to declare that nothing is to be added to what has been recorded. Beware of meddling with Christ’s revelation.
Walter Chantry, Signs of the Apostles, 1976, p. 35-37.
Soumettez-vous aux revendications du Christ. Donnez-lui le trône de votre cœur. Remettez-lui le contrôle de votre vie. Ayez confiance en sa mort expiatoire. Aimez-le de toute votre âme. Obéissez-lui de toutes vos forces et il vous conduira au ciel.
A.W. Pink, The Way of Salvation.
Yield yourself to Christ’s claims. Give Him the throne of your heart. Turn over to Him the regulation of your life. Trust in His atoning death. Love Him with all your soul. Obey Him with all your might and He will conduct you to heaven.
