John MacArthur
“Despite our seemingly casual attitude toward it, slander is a particularly destructive sin. Writing in the 1828 edition of his dictionary, Noah Webster defined slander as “a false tale or report maliciously uttered, and tending to injure the reputation of another by lessening him in the esteem of his fellow citizens, by exposing him to impeachment and punishment, or by impairing his means of living.” Slander strikes at people’s dignity, defames their character, and destroys their reputation – their most priceless worldly asset (Proverbs 22:1; Ecclesiastes 7:1).”

Grace is the very opposite of merit... Grace is not only undeserved favor, but it is favor shown to the one who has deserved the very opposite.

Charles H. Spurgeon
“Look to the cross, and hate your sin, for sin nailed your Well Beloved to the tree. Look up to the cross, and you will kill sin, for the strength of Jesus' love will make you strong to put down your tendencies to sin.”
Charles H. Spurgeon

Jonathan Edwards
Whether God has decreed all things that ever come to pass or not, all that own the being of a God, own that He knows all things beforehand. Now, it is self-evident that if He knows all things beforehand, He either doth approve of them or doth not approve of them; that is, He either is willing they should be, or He is not willing they should be. But to will that they should be is to decree them.
Jonathan Edwards
La Bible sera toujours pleine de choses que vous ne pouvez pas comprendre, aussi longtemps que vous ne vivrez pas selon celles que vous pouvez comprendre.
Billy Sunday
The Bible will always be full of things you cannot understand, as long as you will not live according to those you can understand.
Billy Sunday
Charles H. Spurgeon
God’s mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.
Charles H. Spurgeon
C.H. McIntosh
To preach the gospel is really to unfold the heart of God, the person and work of Christ; and all this by the present energy of the Holy Ghost, from the exhaustless treasury of Holy Scripture.
C.H. McIntosh
Charles H. Spurgeon
A true prayer is an inventory of needs, a catalog of necessities, an exposure of secret wounds, a revelation of hidden poverty.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Dean R. Ulrich, From Famine to Fullness
Between the two comings of Jesus, believers experience what is often called the tension between the already and the not yet. Jesus’ followers can look back and see that D-day, the decisive strike, has already occurred and now guaran tees thorough defeat of the enemy. Nevertheless, the time after the first coming and before the second coming involves ongoing warfare with the spiritual forces of darkness and their terrestrial supporters. V-day has not yet arrived, and so the potential for setbacks and defeats still exists. All too often, God’s people succumb to temptation and score a victory for the enemies of God. Still, the decisive strike at the first coming of Jesus guarantees ultimate victory at the second, and Jesus’ followers fight the good fight with assurance that God who has begun a good work at the first coming of Jesus will bring it to completion at the second.
Dean R. Ulrich, From Famine to Fullness
Jonathan Edwards
Spiritual delight in God arises chiefly from his beauty and perfection, not from the blessings he gives us.
Jonathan Edwards
Randy Smith
If your concept of God is only one that sees the Divine as a relational buddy that exists for the sole purpose of keeping you from hell and granting all your wishes while on earth, you will fall miserably short. If your concept of God is not resulting in fear, passion, excitement, reverence and awe, you will fall miserably short. I suggest based on the way many professing Christians obey the Bible, pray, conduct themselves in worship, view the local church and share their faith, the god they claim to worship is far from the God portrayed in the Bible, and the motivation for wholehearted biblical living is absent.
Randy Smith
C'est drôle comme ma foi est fragile après tant d'années de marche avec Jésus. On pourrait penser que j'ai dépassé ce stade, mais le choix de faire confiance est un exercice quotidien, semble-t-il. Et Il est fidèle. Fidèle à attendre que je réalise que je me sens distant, fidèle à attendre que je réalise que je n'entends pas aussi bien que je le sais possible. Quand je lui demande ce qui s'est passé entre nous, il est fidèle à intervenir avec la vérité - pas une accusation. La vérité. La vérité sur les mensonges avec lesquels je me suis associé et sur la façon dont j'ai nourri dans mon cœur des accusations, des blessures, des offenses et des peurs qui étouffent son esprit. Il révèle sa vérité sur mon manque de pardon envers moi-même et envers les autres. Cette vérité ne fait pas que me mettre à nu, elle offre une restauration de l'intimité. Je me demande combien de fois il va pardonner la faiblesse de ma foi et me restaurer ? Il répond : "Autant de fois que nécessaire".
Nancy Boyd-Sherman
It’s funny how fragile my faith is after so many years of walking with Jesus. You would think I had matured past this point, but the choice to trust is a daily exercise it seems. And He is faithful. Faithful to wait for me to realize I feel distant, faithful to wait until I realize I do not hear a well as I know is possible. When I ask what has come between us, He is faithful to step in with truth - not accusation. Truth. The truth of what lies I’ve partnered with and how I’ve harboured accusation, hurt, offense, and fear in my heart that crowd out His spirit. He reveals his truth about my lack of forgiveness for myself and others. This truth does not just lay me bare, it offers restoration to intimacy. I ask myself how many times will he forgive the weakness of my faith and restore me? He responds "As many times as is needed."

John MacArthur
A gospel that does not confront sin is not the gospel of Jesus Christ.
John MacArthur
Non seulement la mort est inévitable, mais elle est nécessaire pour que nous puissions hériter de la vie nouvelle dont nous devons jouir en Christ.
Max Lucado
Not only is death inevitable; death is necessary for us to inherit the new life we are to enjoy in Christ.
Max Lucado
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God, 1988, p. 32.
“That which should distinguish the suffering of believers from unbelievers is the confidence that our suffering is under the control of an all-powerful and all-loving God; our suffering has meaning and purpose in God’s eternal plan, and He brings or allows to come into our lives only that which is for His glory and our good.”
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God, 1988, p. 32.
George Muller
“In the greatest difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities, He has never failed me; but because I was enabled by His grace to trust Him He has always appeared for my help. I delight in speaking well of His name.“
George Muller
A.W. Tozer
He remembers our frame and knows that we are dust. He may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.
