Charles H. Spurgeon
A heart crushed is a fragrant heart. Men contemn those who are contemptible in their own eyes, but the Lord sees not as man sees. He despises what men esteem, and values that which they despise. Never yet has God spurned a lowly, weeping penitent, and never will he while God is love, and while Jesus is called the man who receives sinners. Bulls and rams He desires not, but contrite hearts He seeks after.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Charles H. Spurgeon
When a man is saved by divine grace, he is not wholly cleansed from the corruption of his heart. When we believe in Jesus Christ all our sins are pardoned; yet the power of sin, albeit that it is weakened and kept under by the dominion of the new-born nature which God doth infuse into our souls, doth not cease, but still tarrieth in us, and will do so to our dying day.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church
The church is primarily a body of people who profess and give evidence that they have been saved by God's grace alone, for His glory alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. This is what a New Testament church is; it is not a building. The early Christians didn't have buildings for almost 300 years after the church began. The collection of people committed to Christ in a local area constitute a church.

The Spirit does not take His pupils beyond the cross, but ever more deeply into it.

Jerry Bridges, Transforming Grace, NavPress, 1991, p. 40
God does deal with our sins, but only in such a way as for our good. He does not deal with us as our sins deserve, which would be punishment, but as His grace provides, which is for our good.
Jerry Bridges, Transforming Grace, NavPress, 1991, p. 40
Charles Stanley
The task of the Church after Jesus' resurrection and ascension was to proclaim the forgiveness of sins to all nations.

Edward Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 1997, p. 100.
If we think we are usually good, then God is usually irrelevant… Such thinking ignores the depths of sin in my own heart, and, in essence, it elevates me so that I am just a mildly flawed imitation of God rather than someone completely dependent on Him.
Edward Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 1997, p. 100.
Samuel Pearce
It has pleased God lately to teach me more than ever that Himself is the fountain of happiness; that likeness to Him, friendship for Him, and communion with Him, form the basis of all true enjoyment. The very disposition which, blessed be my dear Redeemer! He has given me, to be anything, do anything, or endure anything, so that His name might be glorified – I say, the disposition itself is heaven begun below.
Samuel Pearce
Une vie spirituelle ne peut se former sans discipline, pratique et responsabilité.
Henri Nouwen, Direction spirituelle
A spiritual life cannot be formed without discipline, practice, and accountability.”
Henri Nouwen, Spiritual Direction
Soit la foi en Christ peut purifier toutes les personnes de leur péché, soit aucune, mais pas certaines... La vérité de la mort, de la résurrection et du pouvoir du Christ sur le péché est absolue.
Rick Perry
Either faith in Christ can cleanse all people of their sin, or none, but not some... The truth of Christ's death, resurrection and power over sin is absolute.
Rick Perry
Derick Bingham, Encouragement - Oxygène pour l'âme, Christian Focus, 1997, p. 157-158.
I gave Him a crown of thorns, He gave me a crown of righteousness. I gave Him a cross to carry, He gave me His yoke which is easy, His burden which is light. I gave Him nails through His hands, He gave me safely into His Father’s hands from which no power can pluck me. I gave Him a mock title, ‘This is the King of the Jews.’ He gave me a new name and made me a king and a priest to God. I gave Him no covering, stripping His clothes from Him, He gave me a garment of salvation. I gave Him mockery, casting the same in His teeth, He gave me Paradise. I gave Him vinegar to drink, He gave me Living Water. I crucified and slew Him on a tree, He gave me eternal life. It was my sinfulness that put Him there. It is His sinlessness that puts me here.
Derick Bingham, Encouragement – Oxygen for the Soul, Christian Focus, 1997, p. 157-158.

Jean CHRYSOSTOME
The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire; it hath bridled the rage of lions, hushed the anarchy to rest, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, expanded the gates of heaven, assuaged diseases, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt. Prayer is an all-efficient panoply, a treasure undiminished, a mine which is never exhausted, a sky unobscured by clouds, a heaven unruffled by the storm. It is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings.
JOHN CHRYSOSTOM
J.C. Ryle
Do you believe the Bible? Then depend upon it, hell is eternal. It must be eternal, or words have no meaning at all. “Forever and ever,” “everlasting,” “unquenchable,” “never-dying” all these are expressions used about hell, and expressions that cannot be explained away. It must be eternal, or the very foundations of heaven are cast down. If hell has an end, heaven has an end too. They both stand or fall together. It must be eternal, or every doctrine of the gospel is undermined. If a man may escape hell at length without faith in Christ, or sanctification of the Spirit, sin is no longer an infinite evil, and there was no such great need of Christ’s making an atonement. And where is the warrant for saying that hell can ever change a heart, or make it fit for heaven? It must be eternal, or hell would cease to be hell altogether. Give a man hope, and he will bear anything. Grant a hope of deliverance, however distant, and hell is but a drop of water.
J.C. Ryle
Qu'est-ce que le péché ? C'est le "oui de la volonté" à la tentation.
F.B. Meyer
What is sin? It is the "Yes of the will" to temptation.

Sinclair B. Ferguson, Une croissance chrétienne saine
How do we bring glory to God? The Bible’s short answer is: by growing more and more like Jesus Christ.
Sinclair B. Ferguson, Healthy Christian Growth
Phil Robertson
Basically, I don't ever move too far past the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, because it's of first importance. And I make sure it's of first importance with anyone I'm talking to. It all comes down to that, really, when you get right down to it. So it's not complex. Jesus removed our sins and guarantees we can be raised from the dead.
Phil Robertson
John Piper, The Driving Convictions Behind Missions
A God-centered theology must be a missionary theology. If you say that you love the glory of God, the test of your authenticity is whether you love the spread of that glory among all the peoples of the world. Or another way to say it is that worship is the fuel and the goal of missions. Missions exists because worship doesn't. God's passion is to be known and honored and worshipped among all the peoples. To worship Him is to share that passion for His supremacy among the nations.
