John Wesley
One of the greatest evidences of God’s love to those that love him is, to send them afflictions, with grace to bear them.
John Wesley
Plus je vieillis, plus je me rends compte que 9 fois sur 10, lorsque je pense qu'il est nécessaire de corriger et de confronter, ce sont en fait mes propres émotions qui se mettent sur la défensive et je veux vraiment justifier mes choix, mon comportement et mes opinions.
Wendy Imboden
The older I get, the more I realize 9 times out 10 when I think there’s a need to correct and confront - it’s actually my own emotions getting defensive and I’m really wanting to justify my choices, behaviour, and opinions.

Charles Kingsley
The men whom I have seen succeed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile on their faces, and took the changes and chances of this mortal life like men, facing rough and smooth alike as it came.
Charles Kingsley
J.P McBeth
God is omniscient and knows everything. He has known everything from the beginning. Nothing is a surprise to God, nor does He ever come into possession of new knowledge. Thus God knows all people. But [foreknowledge] means more than an intellectual knowledge. It means that God knows some in a special way. In grace, in life from eternity. This is the initiative of our salvation. Redemption has its rise to God and not in man
Samuel Willard, The Decrees of God, 1690.
[God’s decrees are based on the] conception of God as a rational, intelligent being who is a wise builder, who has an idea of His works before He does them. It is clear that God works in time and therefore we suppose that He intended to do so before time.
Samuel Willard, The Decrees of God, 1690.
Jerry Bridges, The Practice of Godliness, NavPress, 1996, p. 14.
So often we try to develop Christian character and conduct without taking the time to develop God-centered devotion. We try to please God without taking the time to walk with Him and develop a relationship with Him. This is impossible to do.
Jerry Bridges, The Practice of Godliness, NavPress, 1996, p. 14.

B.B. Warfield, Miserable Sinners Christianity, Works, Vol. 7, Baker, 1931, p. 131f.
There is nothing in us or done by us at any stage of our earthly development because of which we are acceptable to God. We must always be accepted for Christ’s sake or we cannot ever be accepted at all. This is not true of us only “when we believe,” it is just as true after we have believed. It will continue to be true as long as we live… It is always, on His “blood and righteousness” alone that we can rest. There is never anything that we are or have or do that can take His place or that take a place along with Him. We are always unworthy, and all that we have or do of good is always of pure grace.
B.B. Warfield, Miserable Sinners Christianity, Works, Vol. 7, Baker, 1931, p. 131f.
Dès que quelqu'un commence à donner dans le but de recevoir davantage en retour du Seigneur, ou qu'il cesse de semer généreusement afin d'augmenter ses propres biens, le fleuve de la générosité de Dieu ne continuera plus à couler.
George Muller, The Autobiography of George Muller, 1984, p. 196.
The moment someone begins to give for the sake of receiving more back from the Lord, or he stops sowing bountifully in order to increase his own possessions, the river of God’s bounty will no longer continue to flow.
George Muller, The Autobiography of George Muller, 1984, p. 196.
Aucun d'entre nous ne sait exactement ce qu'il va trouver. Il y aura des endroits difficiles, mais aussi des endroits d'une grande beauté. Il y aura des terrains difficiles et des oasis. Il y aura des expériences émouvantes, et d'autres que nous voudrions éviter complètement.
Mais plus nous passons de temps dans la nature sauvage, plus nous nous y sentons à l'aise. Le terrain accidenté se transforme en véritable aventure. La beauté unique est une invitation au mystère de la vie, et nous commençons à apprécier le cadeau de chaque jour.
Tim Hansel
The Bible is a map and a survival manual for the Christian life. The Holy Spirit is the compass and our personal guide. But we still have to put our boots on and explore the wilderness ourselves. We can’t get there by taxi.
None of us knows exactly what we will find. There will be difficult places as well as awesome beauty. There will be hard grinds and oases. There will be moving experiences, and some experiences we would like to avoid altogether.
But the more time we spend in the wilderness, the more comfortable we become there. The rugged terrain turns into veritable adventure. The unique beauty is an invitation to the mystery of living, and we begin to appreciate the gift of each day.
Tim Hansel

The Crucifixion, Atonement, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ mark the beginning of a Christian Life, not the end of it.

Luc 23:18, 20-21
Barabbas plutôt que le Christ ! Le destructeur de la vie plutôt que celui qui donne la vie ! C'était le choix du peuple ; et c'est un choix qui a souvent souillé et souillé ma propre vie.
Quand je choisis la vengeance plutôt que le pardon, je préfère Barabbas au Christ. Car la vengeance est un meurtrier, tandis que le pardon est un guérisseur et un sauveur d'hommes. Mais combien de fois ai-je envoyé le doux guérisseur à la croix, et accueilli le meurtrier dans ma porte ! (...) Le diable sollicite toujours mon service, et le diable "est un meurtrier dès le commencement". Ne l'ai-je jamais préféré, et n'ai-je pas envoyé mon Seigneur pour qu'il soit "crucifié à nouveau", et pour qu'il soit "exposé à la honte" ?
John Henry Jowett
And they cried out all at once, saying, ‘Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas.”…Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, ‘Crucify him, crucify him.’ “
LUKE 23:18, 20–21
Barabbas rather than Christ! The destroyer of life rather than the Giver of life! This was the choice of the people; and it is a choice which has often stained and defiled my own life.
When I choose revenge rather than forgiveness, I am preferring Barabbas to Christ. For revenge is a murderer, while forgiveness is a healer and savior of men. But how often I have sent the sweet healer to the cross, and welcomed the murderer within my gate! (…) The devil is always soliciting my service, and the devil “is a murderer from the beginning.” Have I never preferred him, and sent my Lord to be “crucified afresh,” and “put Him to an open shame”?
John Henry Jowett
Seize des trente-huit paraboles de Jésus traitent de l'argent. Un verset sur dix dans le Nouveau Testament traite de ce sujet. La Bible offre environ cinq cents versets sur la prière, moins de cinq cents sur la foi, et plus de deux mille sur l'argent. L'attitude du croyant à l'égard de l'argent et des possessions est déterminante.
John MacArthur
Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables of Jesus deal with money. One out of ten verses in the New Testament deals with that subject. Scripture offers about five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five hundred on faith, and over two thousand on money. The believer's attitude toward money and possessions is determinative.
John MacArthur
R.C. Sproul Jr.
Repenting is neither more nor less than crying out to God in Christ, “Lord be merciful to me, a sinner.” Believing is rejoicing in the faithfulness of His promise, that as we so repent, we go home justified. It is not the depth and power of your repentance that earns God’s favor. None of us repent as deeply as we ought, and so must ever repent for the weakness of our repentance. But Jesus came to save sinners.
R.C. Sproul Jr.
C'est l'ami qui se soucie toujours de toi et qui te comprend.
Debout quelque part dans l'ombre, tu le trouveras,
Et tu le reconnaîtras par les empreintes d'ongles sur ses mains.

Standing somewhere in the shadows you’ll find Jesus,
He’s the Friend who always cares and understands.
Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Him,
And you’ll know Him by the nailprints in His hands.

Saint Augustin
Sin is believing the lie that you are self-created, self-dependent and self-sustained.
Augustine
H. Wayne House, Charts of Christian Theology and Doctrine, Zondervan, 1992, p. 37.
All men possess a moral impulse or categorical (moral) imperative. Since this morality is not always rewarded in this life, there must be some basis or reason for moral behavior that is beyond this life. This implies the existence of immorality, ultimate judgment, and a God who establishes and supports morality by rewarding good and punishing evil (The Anthropological (Moral) Argument, proponents- Kant).
