Des réponses à nos prières
Charles H. Spurgeon
We may expect answers to prayer, and should not be easy without them any more than we should be if we had written a letter to a friend upon important business, and had received no reply.

Quand le cœur est plein de joie
Charles H. Spurgeon
“When the heart is full of joy, it always allows its joy to escape. It is like the fountain in the marketplace; whenever it is full it runs away in streams, and so soon as it ceases to overflow, you may be quite sure that it has ceased to be full. The only full heart is the overflowing heart.”
Charles H. Spurgeon

Nos demandes à Dieu
George Muller, The Autobiography of George Muller, 1984, p. 219.
Suppose that we believers in the Lord Jesus make our requests to God. Suppose also that, as far as we can honestly judge, the obtaining of our requests would be for our spiritual good and for the honor of God. We must then continue in prayer until the blessing is given to us. Furthermore, we have to believe that God does hear us and will answer our prayers. Frequently we fail in not continuing in prayer until the blessing is obtained and in not expecting the blessing. As assuredly as any individual uses these points, so assuredly will his requests be granted.

Les gages de l'amour de Dieu
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God, 1988, p. 150.
We mistakenly look for tokens of God’s love in happiness. We should instead look for them in His faithful and persistent work to conform us to Christ.

Juger ?
Leon Morris, Matthew, Eerdmans, 1992, p. 164.
“Christians are not to be hasty in making negative judgments on their fellows. It is a dangerous procedure because it invites a similar judgment in return. And it is a difficult procedure because our own faults make it hard for us to see precisely what is amiss in our fellows. Jesus is not, of course, forbidding all judgments; He is warning against the hasty condemnations that are so easy to make, and so characteristic of the human race.”
Leon Morris, Matthew, Eerdmans, 1992, p. 164.

L'humilité
"L'humilité est le repentir de l'orgueil".

Danger en vue !
"Les longues années mornes et monotones de prospérité ou d'adversité d'âge moyen sont un excellent temps de campagne pour le diable."

Dieu sait ce qu'il fait.
Quand Dieu veut forer un homme
Et faire vibrer un homme
Et former un homme,
Quand Dieu veut façonner un homme
Pour jouer le rôle le plus noble ;
Quand il aspire de tout son coeur
Pour créer un homme si grand et si audacieux
Que le monde entier sera émerveillé,
Observez ses méthodes, observez ses voies !
Comment Il perfectionne impitoyablement
Celui qu'Il élit royalement !
Comment Il le martèle et le blesse,
Et avec des coups puissants le convertit.
Dans des formes d'argile d'essai que
Dieu seul comprend ;
Alors que son cœur torturé pleure
Et qu'il lève des mains suppliantes !
Comme Il plie mais ne rompt jamais
Quand il entreprend son bien ;
Comment Il utilise qui Il veut,
Et dont chaque but le fusionne ;
Par chaque acte l'incite
A essayer sa splendeur -
Dieu sait ce qu'il fait.

Les enseignements de la Bible
John Piper
A Christian is not a person who believes in his head the teachings of the Bible. Satan believes in his head the teachings of the Bible! A Christian is a person who has died with Christ, whose stiff neck has been broken, whose brazen forehead has been shattered, whose stony heart has been crushed, whose pride has been slain, and whose life is now mastered by Jesus Christ. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me!”
John Piper

Ce qui est unique à propos de Jésus
"Jésus est l'une des très rares personnes de l'histoire qui a fondé une grande religion mondiale ou qui, comme Platon ou Aristote, a fixé le cours de la pensée et de la vie humaines pendant des siècles. Jésus fait partie de ce groupe minuscule et sélect. D'autre part, un certain nombre de personnes ont, au fil des ans, prétendu implicitement ou explicitement être des êtres divins venus d'autres mondes. Beaucoup d'entre eux étaient des démagogues, mais beaucoup d'autres étaient des leaders de petites sectes autonomes de vrais croyants. Ce qui est unique à propos de Jésus, c'est qu'il est le seul membre du premier ensemble de personnes qui est également membre du second."
Tim Keller, Making Sense of God : An Invitation to the Skeptical
“Jesus is one of the very few persons in history who founded a great world religion or who, like Plato or Aristotle, has set the course of human thought and life for centuries. Jesus is in that tiny, select group. On the other hand, there have been a number of persons over the years who have implicitly or explicitly claimed to be divine beings from other worlds. Many of them were demagogues; many more were leaders of small, self-contained sects of true believers. What is unique about Jesus is that he is the only member of the first set of persons who is also a member of the second.”

Ma source de satisfaction ?
Si je regarde l'argent comme ma source de satisfaction, je ne regarde plus vers Dieu. L'argent a remplacé le Dieu vivant comme l'affection principale de mon cœur. Et le moment où je dépends davantage de mon argent est le moment où mon argent est devenu mon dieu. Le premier commandement nous enseigne que le Dieu glorieux ne permet pas d'autres dieux devant lui (Exode 20:3).
Randy Smith
If I look to money as my source of satisfaction, I am no longer looking to God. Money has replaced the living God as the primary affection of my heart. And the moment I depend more on my money is the moment my money has become my god. The First Commandment teaches us that the glorious God will not permit other gods before Him (Exodus 20:3).

Louer Jésus
Randy Smith
The Scripture is clear that all will be found praising Jesus Christ. Those who begin praising Him now after receiving Him by faith as their Savior will enjoy the blessed consummation of that throughout all of eternity. Those who reject Him will praise Him, but under obligation and separated from Him (Jn. 18:6; Phil. 2:10; Rev. 5:13). Simply put, God is too glorious to allow any corner of His creation to exist without recognizing His glory by ascribing to Him the worship that is due His name.

Penser au ciel
John MacArthur, The Glory of Heaven, par John MacArthur, 1996, 47 ans.
Because the church doesn’t really have heaven on its mind, it tends to be self-indulgent, self-centered, weak, and materialistic. Our present comforts consume too much of our thoughts, and if we’re not careful, we inevitably end up inventing wrong fantasies about heaven – or thinking very little of heaven at all.
John MacArthur, The Glory of Heaven by John MacArthur, 1996, age 47.

L'orgueil ne gagne aucune couronne.
Charles H. Spurgeon
There is nothing into which the heart of man so easily falls as pride, and yet there is no more vice which is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture. Pride is a thing which should be unnatural to us, for we have nothing to be proud of. In almost every other sin, we gather us ashes when the fire is gone. But here, what is left? The covetous man has his shining gold, but what does the proud man have? He has less than he would have had without pride, and is no gainer whatever. Pride wins no crown.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
