J'aspire
A un plein consentement.
Je n'ai pas l'intention de m'approprier un mot ou un regard, mais par le livre, et ton livre seul.

"DISCIPLINE".
For my heart’s desire Unto thine is bent;
I aspire
To a full consent.
Not a word or look I affect to own, But by book, And thy book alone.

“DISCIPLINE”
Ray Ortlund
When the early believers converted to Christ, it never occurred to them to fit Him into the margins of their busy lives. They redefined themselves around a new, immovable center. He was not an optional weekend activity, along with the kids’ soccer practices. They put Him and His church and His cause first in their hearts, first in their schedules, first in their budgets, first in their reputations, first in their very lives. They devoted themselves [Ac. 2:42]. [This was] unmistakable evidence that the Holy Spirit was being poured out.

There is no new ministry or means of spiritual warfare. We are called to keep on with what Christians have always been called on to do – believe, proclaim, pray and live the gospel.

Matthew Henry
“It is more to the honor of a Christian by faith to overcome the world, than by monastical vows to retreat from it; more for the honor of Christ to serve him in the city, than to serve him in the cell.”
Matthew Henry
Martin Luther
Faith…unites the soul with Christ, as a bride is united with her bridegroom. From such a marriage, as [the apostle] Paul says, it follows that Christ and the soul become one body, so that they hold all things in common, whether for better or worse. This means that what Christ possesses belongs to the believing soul, and what the soul possesses belongs to Christ. Thus Christ possesses all good things and holiness; these now belong to the soul. The soul possesses lots of vices and sin; these now belong to Christ… Now is not this a happy business? Christ, the rich, noble and holy bridegroom, takes in marriage this poor, contemptible and sinful little prostitute, takes away all her evil and bestows all His goodness upon her! It is no longer possible for sin to overwhelm her, for she is now found in Christ.
Martin Luther
La valeur de l'Évangile n'est pas qu'il nous donne une vie idéale, mais que cette vie a été réellement vécue.
GEORGE TYRELL (1861-1909) THÉOLOGIEN IRLANDAIS
The value of the gospel is not that it gives us ideal life, but that that life was actually lived.
GEORGE TYRELL (1861–1909) IRISH THEOLOGIAN
Si votre désir de la Parole de Dieu est parti, faites ce que vous pouvez : Repentez vous. Dites Lui que vous êtes désolé et triste que votre désir pour Sa Parole Sainte soit mort. Demandez-Lui de vous donner et redonner envie, combien même que vous puissiez à peine rassembler la volonté de demander. Il est Miséricordieux.
John Piper
A.W. Tozer
The highest expression of the will of God in this age is the church which He purchased with His own blood. To be scripturally valid any religious activity must be part of the church. Let it be clearly stated that there can be no service acceptable to God in this age that does not center in and spring out of the church. Bible schools, tract societies, Christian business men’s committees, seminaries and the many independent groups working at one or another phase of religion need to check themselves reverently and courageously, for they have no true spiritual significance outside of or apart from the church.

Persecution by the devil, through evil men, allowed by God is ordained to strengthen the church whereby Christ’s lampstand will burn brightly as a holy witness. It always separates the true and false believers. It purges away the chaff from the wheat. It strengthens and refines the true children of God (see Rev. 2:10).

In adversity we usually want God to do a removing job when He wants to do an improving job.

Le bonheur n'est pas quelque chose qui dépend de notre environnement... C'est quelque chose que nous fabriquons en nous-mêmes.

Happiness isn't something that depends on our surroundings...It's something we make inside ourselves.

When we seek to pit God’s law against His love we show ourselves ignorant of both.

Dans le cœur de chaque chrétien, il y a une croix et un trône, et le chrétien est sur le trône tant qu'il ne se met pas sur la croix ; s'il refuse la croix, il reste sur le trône. C'est peut-être là le fond de la déchéance et de la mondanité parmi les croyants de l'Évangile aujourd'hui. Nous voulons être sauvés, mais nous insistons pour que le Christ fasse toute la mort. Pas de croix pour nous, pas de détrônement, pas de mort. Nous restons roi dans le petit royaume de Mansoul et portons notre couronne de clinquants avec toute la fierté d'un César ; mais nous nous condamnons à l'ombre, à la faiblesse et à la stérilité spirituelle.
A.W. Tozer
In every Christian’s heart there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of Mansoul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a Caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.

John MacArthur, The Gospel According to Jesus, 1988, p. 197.
A Christian is not one who simply buys “fire insurance,” who signs up just to avoid an unpleasant after life. A Christian…repeatedly, is one whose faith expresses itself in submission and obedience. A Christian is one who follows Christ, one who is committed unquestionably to Christ as Lord and Savior, one who desires to please God. His basic aim is to be in every way a disciple of Jesus Christ. When he fails, he seeks forgiveness and wants to move forward. This is his spirit and his direction.
John MacArthur, The Gospel According to Jesus, 1988, p. 197.
