Repentance is the true turning of our life to God, a turning that arises from a pure and earnest fear of Him; and it consists in the mortification of our flesh and of the old man, and in the vivification of the Spirit.

John MacArthur, Éphésiens, Moody, 1986, p. 384.
Our enemy knows that when he strikes the shepherd, the sheep will scatter (Matt. 26:31), and church leaders – even as the Lord Himself – are Satan’s special targets. The more faithful and fruitful a pastor is, the more his people need to pray for his strength and protection. He is more subject to the devil’s schemes to make him discouraged or self-satisfied, hopeless or superficially optimistic, cowardly or overconfident. Satan uses every situation – favorable or unfavorable, successful or unsuccessful – to try to weaken, distract, and discredit God’s gifted men in their work of “equipping of the saints for the work of service” (Eph. 4:12).
John MacArthur, Ephesians, Moody, 1986, p. 384.
Dieu n'est pas injuste. Personne ne sera condamné pour ne pas avoir cru à un message qu'il n'a jamais entendu. Ceux qui n'ont jamais entendu l'Évangile seront jugés par leur incapacité à reconnaître la lumière de la grâce et de la puissance de Dieu dans la nature et dans leur propre conscience.
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 192.
God is not unjust. No one will be condemned for not believing a message they have never heard. Those who have never heard the gospel will be judged by their failure to own up to the light of God’s grace and power in nature and in their own conscience.
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 192.
Cherchez cet Evangile qui déchire et qui fait des coupures et des blessures et même tue, car c'est l'Evangile qui fait revivre.
Et quand vous l'avez trouvé, faites-y attention.
Laissez-le entrer dans votre être le plus intime.
Alors que la pluie pénètre dans le sol, priez ainsi le Seigneur de laisser son Évangile pénétrer votre âme."
Charles Spurgeon
Nous devons toujours l'honorer et le révérer comme si nous étions toujours en sa présence corporelle.
Thomas a Kempis
We should always honor and reverence Him as if we were always in His bodily presence.
Thomas a Kempis
Il y a cependant une différence cruciale entre une profession de foi et la possession de la foi... Ce n'est pas la simple revendication de la foi qui fait de nous des chrétiens. Nous devons avoir ce que nous prétendons avoir pour être vraiment en Christ. esus a lancé une sombre mise en garde contre ceux qui disent "Seigneur, Seigneur", mais qui ne sont pas à Lui (Matthieu 7:21). Il a clairement indiqué que les gens peuvent l'honorer avec leurs lèvres alors que leur cœur est loin de lui.
R.C. Sproul, The Purpose of God, An Exposition of Ephesians, Christian Focus Publications, 1994, p. 88-89.
There is, however, a crucial difference between a profession of faith and the possession of faith… It is not the mere claim to faith that makes us Christians. We must have what we claim to have to be truly in Christ. esus somberly warned about those who say, “Lord, Lord,” who are not His (Matthew 7:21). He made it clear that people can honor Him with their lips while their hearts are far from Him.
R.C. Sproul, The Purpose of God, An Exposition of Ephesians, Christian Focus Publications, 1994, p. 88-89.

It is well that we accept the hard truth now: the man who would know God must give time to Him. He must count no time wasted that is spent in the cultivation of His acquaintance. He must give himself to meditation and prayer hours on end. So did the saints of old, the glorious company of the apostles, the goodly fellowship of the prophets and the believing members of the holy Church in all generations. And so must we if we would follow in their train.

John Piper
The sufficiency of Scripture means that we don’t need any more special revelation. We don’t need any more inspired, inerrant words. In the Bible God has given us, we have the perfect standard for judging all other knowledge. All other knowledge stands under the judgment of the Bible even when it serves the Bible.
John Piper

I adore the reality of God’s emotions! He’s full of them. Take His unchanging, perfect love, or joy or compassion. Love, joy and compassion are emotions!

Oui, mais uniquement pour lui dire qu'elle doit se repentir et délaisser son péché.
Rien n'est pire que de penser être dirigé par Dieu alors que le péché règne dans notre cœur."

Gene Getz, The Measure of a Man, 1995, p. 55-56
A temperate man doesn’t lose his physical, psychological and spiritual orientation. He is stable and steadfast, and his thinking is clear… [He] doesn’t go to extremes… [He] doesn’t go on emotional tangents. He has a sense of inner peace and security, no matter what is happening in life generally. This doesn’t mean he never has periods of anxiety, but overall he has a sense of stability. In the words of James, he is not a “double-minded man” (James 1:8).
Gene Getz, The Measure of a Man,1995, p. 55-56
Il faut être capable de renoncer à ses ambitions et ses projets personnels pour participer à la volonté Divine.
Les ambitions ne sont que des recherches d’accomplissements personnels que certains aiment à faire passer pour la volonté de Dieu.
Agir ainsi, c’est un détournement de gloire."

Les miracles de Jésus sont conformes à la réalité, ils n'apparaissent pas comme des fantaisies de l'imagination. Ils sont plutôt présentés comme des événements historiques sérieux auxquels on pourrait s'attendre si un Dieu surnaturel tentait de vérifier une vérité en faisant irruption dans l'ordre naturel.

The miracles of Jesus are in keeping with reality.They do not appear as the fantasies of the imagination. Rather, they are presented as serious historical events which we might expect to occur if a supernatural God were attempting to verify a truth by breaking into the natural order.

F.B. Meyer
How many of us, who are engaged in the Lord’s holy service, are secretly cherishing some proud aspiration of excelling other men, of making a name for ourselves, of securing money or fame! We will use the pulpit as a pedestal for the adulation of the world, and the cross for a post on which to hang garlands to our own glory. How often do we preach sermons, or make addresses, and attend meetings, with no other thought than to secure the recognition and praise of those to whom we “minister.” All of this must be laid aside. We must have no selfish, prideful ulterior motives to serve Christ.

Most Christians are being crucified on a cross between two thieves: Yesterday's regret and tomorrow's worries.

George Muller
Faith has nothing to do with feelings or with impressions, with improbabilities or with outward experiences. If we desire to couple such things with faith, then we are no longer resting on the Word of God, because faith needs nothing of the kind. Faith rests on the naked Word of God. When we take Him at His Word, the heart is at peace.
George Muller
