"C'est possible"
Lorsque nous regardons autour de nous dans l'Église, nous voyons tant d'indications de faiblesse, d'échec, de péché et d'insuffisance, que nous sommes obligés de nous demander : "Pourquoi en est-il ainsi ? Est-il nécessaire que l'Église du Christ vive dans un état aussi bas ? Ou est-il réellement possible que le peuple de Dieu vive toujours dans la joie et la force de son Dieu ? Tout cœur croyant doit répondre : "C'est possible".
Andrew Murray
When we speak of the quickening or the deepening or the strengthening of the spiritual life, we are thinking of something that is feeble and wrong and sinful; and it is a great thing to take our place before God with the confession: O God, our spiritual life is not what it should be! May God work that in every heart.
As we look around about on the Church we see so many indications of feebleness and of failure and of sin and of shortcoming, that we are compelled to ask, Why is it? Is there any necessity for the Church of Christ to be living in such a low state? Or is it actually possible that God’s people should be living always in the joy and strength of their God? Every believing heart must answer, It is possible.

La cause de la faiblesse
Andrew Murray
The cause of the weakness of your Christian life is that you want to work it out partly, and to let God help you. And that cannot be. You must come to be utterly helpless, to let God work, and God will work gloriously. It is this that we need if we are indeed to be workers for God. I could go through scripture and prove to you how Moses, when he led Israel out of Egypt; how Joshua, when he brought them into the land of Canaan; how all God’s servants in the Old Testament counted upon the omnipotence of God doing impossibilities. And this God lives today, and this God is the God of every child of His. And yet we are some of us wanting God to give us a little help while we do our best, instead of coming to understand what God wants, and to say: I can do nothing, God must and will do all. Have you said: In worship, in work, in sanctification, in obedience to God, I can do nothing of myself, and so my place is to worship the omnipotent God, and to believe that He will work in me every moment. Oh, may God teach us this!

Le but de Dieu
John Piper
The aim of God in creating and redeeming us is the delight He Himself enjoys in seeing His creatures delight in Him. As Edwards said, “[The] glorifying of God is nothing but rejoicing in the manifestations of Him.” In other words, the purpose of the knowledge of God is the enjoyment of God because “God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him.”

Un grave danger
T. C. Horton et Charles E. Hurlburt
No graver danger threatens the believer than that of forgetting that he was redeemed—forgetting even in the joy of realized life what our salvation cost, and what is the rock foundation of our faith. To meet this need our Savior pictures Himself not merely as the Rock of Ages, and our Strong Rock of Refuge, but the Rock of our Salvation. Here, in Him and upon His merit and atoning grace, we were saved from among the lost. Let us glory in this precious name and never forget that He was “wounded for our transgressions” and “that He bore our sins in His own body on the tree.''

La Bible (2)
Leon Morris
The Bible was the only book Jesus every quoted, and then never as a basis for discussion but to decide the point at issue.

Les mots de la Bible
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)
POÈTE ET CRITIQUE LITTÉRAIRE ANGLAIS
I have found in the Bible words for my inmost thoughts, songs for my joy, utterance for my hidden griefs, and pleadings for my shame and feebleness. (...) I know the Bible is inspired because it finds me at greater depths of my being than any other book. For more than a thousand years the Bible, collectively taken, has gone hand in hand with civilization, science, law —in short, with the moral and intellectual cultivation of the species, always supporting and often leading the way.

Dieu veut que vous donniez avec une joie enthousiaste
Rod Rogers
God doesn’t want you to give out of a sense of pressure or guilt. God wants you to give with eager joy. If there is joy in your heart when offering time comes, you know God is pleased. Do you look forward to writing the offering check? Do you feel like bursting with joy at offering time in your church? Do you get excited when you receive unexpected money that you can give to God’s work? If so, you have entered into the true spirit of giving.

Les tempêtes peuvent susciter la peur
Paul Chappell
Storms can bring fear, cloud judgment, and create confusion. Yet God promises that as you seek Him through prayer, He will give you wisdom to know how to proceed. The only way you will survive the storm will be on your knees.

L'ennemi

L'homme est agité.
H. Wayne House, Charts of Christian Theology and Doctrine, Zondervan, 1992, p. 35.
Man is restless. He has a vague longing for blessedness. This longing was given by God, for man is restless until he rests in God. The presence of this longing is an indirect proof of God existence (The Argument from Blessedness, proponents- Augustine, Aquinas).

Croyant en Jésus !
"Tout ce que vous demanderez en mon Nom, je le ferai". Donnez-vous, et vivez, pour faire les œuvres du Christ, et vous apprendrez à prier de manière à obtenir de merveilleuses réponses à la prière. Donnez-vous, et vivez, pour prier, et vous apprendrez à faire les œuvres qu'Il a faites, et des œuvres plus grandes. Avec des disciples pleins de foi en Lui-même, et audacieux dans la prière pour demander de grandes choses, le Christ peut conquérir le monde.
Andrew Murray
Believer in Jesus! you are called, you are appointed, to do the works of Jesus, and even greater works, because He has gone to the Father to receive the power to do them in and through you.
“Whatsoever ye shall ask in my Name, that will I do.” Give yourself, and live, to do the works of Christ, and you will learn to pray so as to obtain wonderful answers to prayer. Give yourself, and live, to pray, and you will learn to do the works He did, and greater works. With disciples full of faith in Himself, and bold in prayer to ask great things, Christ can conquer the world.

Une erreur
Bruce Barton
“Too many Christians feel that grief is wrong, that we're supposed to rejoice when a loved one goes to be with the Lord. While we can rejoice in their homegoing, we can also grieve our loss.”

Honnêtes ?
Charles Spurgeon
“You are nothing better than deceitful hypocrites if you harbor in your minds a single unforgiving thought. There are some sins which may be in the heart, and yet you may be saved. But you cannot be saved unless you are forgiving. If we do not choose to forgive, we choose to be damned.”
Charles Spurgeon

"Vous devriez être heureux d'avoir un tel problème"
"Vous devriez être heureux d'avoir un tel problème", a répondu Spurgeon. "Ce sont tous ces versets bibliques que je comprends qui me dérangent !".
Dieu nous a donné dans les Écritures une révélation complète de sa nature et de son caractère. Et Il nous a donné un mandat clair et sans équivoque de Le partager, Lui et Sa Parole, avec ceux qui n'ont pas entendu. Si nous nous concentrons sur le fait de Lui obéir au quotidien - où que nous soyons - Il nous conduira là où Il veut que nous allions et vers les personnes qu'Il veut que nous atteignions.
Frère André
A man once approached the great preacher Charles Spurgeon with a question. “There’s a Bible verse I read that’s bothering me because I can’t understand it,” he said.
“You should be happy to have such a problem,” Spurgeon replied. “It’s all those Bible verses I do understand that bother me!”
God has given us in scripture a full revelation of His nature and His character. And He has given us an unmistakably clear mandate to share Him and His Word with those who have not heard. If we focus on obeying Him on a daily basis—wherever we are—He will lead us where He wants us to go and to the people He wants us to reach.

Diriger
Charles H. Spurgeon
Leading implies following; and those who are enabled to follow the guidance of the Divine Spirit are most assuredly children of God, for the Lord ever leads His own children. If, then, you are following the lead of God’s Spirit, you have one of the evidences of Sonship.
Charles H. Spurgeon

Un appel spécial sur nos vies ?
La plupart d'entre nous ont souvent l'idée que Dieu doit avoir un appel spécial sur nos vies. Si nous ne recevons pas un tel appel de Dieu, alors nous n'avons pas été sélectionnés par Lui pour un service spécial, et nous ne pouvons que vivre notre vie comme des bourdons dans le royaume, un jour monotone et sans importance à la fois..... C'est notre idée, pas celle de Dieu.
Frère André
As we spend time in scripture and in prayer, it’s important not to get sidetracked in trying to determine whether we’ve received an official call from God or whether we have a clear indication that we are doing God’s will. It’s too easy to get so caught up in the paralysis of analysis that we fail to act.
Most of us often have the idea that God must have a special calling on our lives. If we have no such calling from God, then we have not been selected by Him for special service, and we can only live out our lives as drones in the kingdom, one monotonous and unimportant day at a time…. That is our idea, not God’s.
Brother Andrew

Dépenser la vie
Et les gens qui ne connaissent pas le Seigneur demandent pourquoi diable nous gaspillons nos vies en tant que missionnaires. Ils oublient qu'eux aussi dépensent leur vie... et que lorsque la bulle aura éclaté, ils n'auront rien d'éternel à montrer pour les années qu'ils auront gaspillées.
Nate Saint
And people who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives... and when the bubble has burst they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted.

Notre orgueil
Randy Smith
It is an indictment on our pride to think as the created, we can question the Creator’s faithfulness. God is faithful – He’s shown it in the life of Jesus Christ and He declares it cover-to-cover in the Bible. A better question to ask is whether or not we are faithful to Him in tough times with words and actions of obedience that demonstrate it. Are we joyously and productively making the most of the trials with our faith in tact, feet on the narrow path pointed toward the Celestial City, overcoming temptations, eyes firmly fixed on Jesus Christ who is the “author and perfecter of faith” (Hebrews 12:2)?

Le cœur paisible
Sallie Chesham
The peaceful heart becomes such when God as Spirit is perceived as Personal and allowed to become a great Friend in the most intimate manner. Listening for God’s direction and following is all-important, but it is imperative here to note that God’s voice of revelation will never oppose the recorded ordinances of God. »
