"Si vous dites que vous ne croyez pas en Dieu mais que vous croyez aux droits de chaque personne et à l'obligation de prendre soin de tous les faibles et des pauvres, alors vous vous accrochez toujours aux croyances chrétiennes, que vous l'admettiez ou non. Pourquoi, par exemple, devriez-vous considérer l'amour et l'agression - deux parties de la vie, toutes deux enracinées dans notre nature humaine - et en choisir une comme bonne et en rejeter une comme mauvaise ? Ils font tous deux partie de la vie. Où trouverez-vous une norme pour faire cela ? S'il n'y a pas de Dieu ou de royaume surnaturel, cela n'existe pas."
Tim Keller, Making Sense of God : An Invitation to the Skeptical
“If you say you don’t believe in God but you do believe in the rights of every person and the requirement to care for all the weak and the poor, then you are still holding on to Christian beliefs, whether you will admit it or not. Why, for example, should you look at love and aggression—both parts of life, both rooted in our human nature—and choose one as good and reject one as bad? They are both part of life. Where do you get a standard to do that? If there is no God or supernatural realm, it doesn’t exist.”
Tim Keller, Making Sense of God: An Invitation to the Skeptical
John Newton
“I am persuaded that love and humility are the highest attainments in the school of Christ and the brightest evidences that He is indeed our Master.”
John Newton
Le pouvoir du pardon ne réside pas seulement dans le fait que nous sommes pardonnés - la joie de l'absolution - mais aussi dans le fait que nous pardonnons aux autres.
David Timms, Living the Lord’s Prayer
The power of forgiveness lies not only in our being forgiven – the joy of absolution – but also in our forgiving others.
David Timms, Living the Lord’s Prayer
Jack Hyles
“God’s people cannot be shamed into serving God; they need to be challenged.”
Jack Hyles
Jonathan Edwards
“Humility may be defined to be a habit of mind and heart corresponding to our comparative unworthiness and vileness before God, or a sense of our own comparative meanness in His sight, with the disposition to a behavior answerable thereto.”
Jonathan Edwards
Sinclair Ferguson, Grow in Grace, 1989.
The whole of the Christian life is centered on Jesus Christ. Like Paul the contemporary Christian can say: “To me to live is Christ.” But often, in Christian experience, we are tempted to look elsewhere for direction, example, counsel and guidance. We lose sight of the fact that everything we need to live the Christian life is to be found exclusively in Christ. For this reason when we begin thinking about spiritual growth we must think first of all about Christ.
Sinclair Ferguson, Grow in Grace, 1989.

Hell or Heaven? Do we plead for God’s reward as a result of our actions or do we plead for God’s mercy as a result of his actions?

William Law
Follow Christ in the denial of all the wills of self, and then all is put away that separates you from God; the heaven born new creature will come to life in you, which alone knows and enjoys the things of God, and has his daily food of gladness in that manifold blessed, and blessed, which Christ preached on the mount.
William Law
Charles Spurgeon
"Without Christ there is no hope."
Charles Spurgeon
John Wycliffe
“Let no man think himself to be holy because he is not tempted, for the holiest and highest in life have the most temptations. How much higher the hill is, so much is the wind there greater; so, how much higher the life is, so much the stronger is the temptation of the enemy.”
John Wycliffe
Leonard Ravenhill
“Notice, we never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray! For prayer is a great deterrent.”
Leonard Ravenhill
Charles Spurgeon
“Go forth today, by the help of God's Spirit, vowing and declaring that in life - come poverty, come wealth, in death - come pain or come what may, you are and ever must be the Lord's. For this is written on your heart, 'We love Him because He first loved us.”
Charles Spurgeon
John Piper
“The New Testament warns against gossiping. The Greek word translated “gossip” means whisper or whisperer. In other words, the focus is not on the falsehood of the word but on the fact that it needs to be surreptitious. It is not open and candid and forthright. It has darkness about it. It does not operate in the light of love. It is not aiming at healing. It strokes the ego’s desire to be seen as right without playing by the rules of love.”
John Piper
John Wesley, Covenant of Early Methodist Ministers, 1752.
We will not listen or willingly inquire after ill concerning one another; that, if we do hear any ill of each other, we will not be forward to believe it; that as soon as possible we will communicate what we hear by speaking or writing to the person concerned; that until we have done this, we will not write or speak a syllable of it to any other person; that neither will we mention it, after we have done this, to any other person; that we will not make any exception to any of these rules unless we think ourselves absolutely obligated in conference.
John Wesley, Covenant of Early Methodist Ministers, 1752.
Comprendre quelqu'un d'autre en tant qu'être humain, je pense que c'est ce qui se rapproche le plus d'un véritable pardon.
David Small
To understand somebody else as a human being, I think, is about as close to real forgiveness as one can get.
David Small
Eric Liddell, "The Disciplines Of The Christian Life".
"If you are not guided by God, you will be guided by someone or something else. The Christian who hasn’t the sense of guidance in his life is missing something vital."
Eric Liddell, 'The Disciplines Of The Christian Life'.
