Auteur inconnu, The Kneeling Christian, circa 1930, ch. 1.
We are never so high as when we are on our knees.
Unknown Author, The Kneeling Christian, circa 1930, ch. 1.
Robert Mounce, Apocalypse, Eerdmans, 1977, p. 227.
The world has always shown hostility to the message of God – a truth which ought to give some concern to the contemporary church existing for the most part rather comfortably in a world of increasing wickedness.
Robert Mounce, Revelation, Eerdmans, 1977, p. 227.
John MacArthur, Matthieu 8-15, Moody Publishers, 1985, p. 58.
Those who are pleasing to God testify with the penitent tax-collector in the Temple: “God, be merciful to me, the sinner!” (Luke 18:13). Augustine pleaded, “Lord, save me from that wicked man, myself.” John Knox, perhaps the greatest preacher in the history of Scotland, confessed, “In youth, in middle age and now after many battles, I find nothing in me but corruption.” John Wesley wrote, “I am fallen short of the glory of God, my whole heart is altogether corrupt and abominable, and consequently my whole life being an evil tree cannot bring forth good fruit.” His brother Charles, who penned so many great hymns, confessed, “Vile and full of sin I am.” Augustus Toplady, who wrote the beloved hymn “Rock of Ages,” said of himself, “Oh, that such a wretch as I should ever be tempted to think highly of himself. I am myself nothing but sin and weakness, in whose flesh naturally dwells no good thing.”
John MacArthur, Matthew 8-15, Moody Publishers, 1985, p. 58.
Le paradoxe entre la souveraineté divine et la responsabilité humaine. C'est un paradoxe apparent - pas un vrai paradoxe, mais un paradoxe apparent - que la foi accepte alors que la raison le rejette. La foi accepte, parce que la foi reconnaît que nous n'avons pas toutes les informations, mais nous faisons confiance à Dieu. La foi accepte cela. La raison le rejette, et ce parce que la raison est finie.
John MacArthur
The paradox between divine sovereignty and human responsibility. This is an apparent paradox – not a true paradox, but an apparent paradox – which faith accepts while reason rejects. Faith accepts, because faith acknowledges that we don’t have all the information, but we trust God. Faith accepts this. Reason rejects it, and that’s because reason is finite.
John MacArthur
C'est un fait immuable que nous n'arriverons jamais à rien dans la vie sans discipline - surtout en matière spirituelle. Certains ont des avantages innés en matière de sport ou de musique. Mais aucun d'entre nous ne peut prétendre à un avantage spirituel inné. Aucun d'entre nous n'est intrinsèquement juste, aucun d'entre nous ne cherche naturellement Dieu ou n'est bon par réflexe. C'est pourquoi, en tant qu'enfants de la grâce, notre discipline spirituelle est essentielle.
Kent Hughes, Disciplines of a Godly Man, Crossway Books, 1991, p. 214.
It is an immutable fact that we will never get anywhere in life without discipline – especially in spiritual matters. There are some who have innate athletic or musical advantages. But none of us can claim an innate spiritual advantage. None of us are inherently righteous, none of us naturally seek God or are reflexively good. Therefore, as children of grace, our spiritual discipline is everything.
Kent Hughes, Disciplines of a Godly Man, Crossway Books, 1991, p. 214.

There is a battle presently raging right now in your heart. “For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another” (Galatians 5:17). It is a battle Scripture says, between the personal Spirit and a personified flesh within you. It is not a head-on collision, but two opposing forces seeking to pull us in two opposite directions, one to righteousness and one to unrighteousness. This is the bottom line as to why some Christians honor God and others do not. It is the difference between living in the Spirit and living in the flesh.

Lorsque le péché attire le corps dans une action pécheresse, nous nous souvenons d'une parole de l'Écriture révélant le Christ et nous tuons la tentation avec la valeur et la beauté supérieures du Christ par rapport à ce que le péché offre.
John Piper
As sin lures the body into sinful action, we call to mind a Christ-revealing word of Scripture and slay the temptation with the superior worth and beauty of Christ over what sin offers.
John Piper

Through prayer, are you asking the Lord to reveal sin in your heart? Is God showing you sin as you study the Bible? Are you grieved over your sin? Are you more grieved over your sin than angered over the sins of others around you? Do you hate your sin? Do you hate your sin not primarily because of the consequences, but because you love God? Are you confessing your sin? Are you turning from your sin with the sufficient grace God provides?
Randy Smith

We are not to stand on the adversary’s ground by any attitude or disobedience. In so doing we give him a certain power over us which, while God will restrain in great mercy and kindness, He will not fully remove until we get fully on holy ground. We must therefore be armed with the breastplate of righteousness as well as the shield of faith, if we would successfully resist the prince of darkness and the principalities in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).

You cannot cherish Jesus and your sin. We cannot add Christ without subtracting sin. A change in belief should always be followed by a change in behavior.

"We are all missionaries. Wherever we go we either bring people nearer to Christ or we repel them from Christ."
Eric Liddell.
Il est intéressant de spéculer sur la vie sur d'autres planètes. Mais Dieu se préoccupe de nos vies dès maintenant - et nous devrions le faire. Avez-vous mis votre confiance en Christ, et vivez-vous pour Lui ?
Billy Graham
It’s interesting to speculate about life on other planets. But God is concerned about our lives right now–as we should be. Have you put your trust in Christ, and are you living for Him?
Billy Graham
Quelle est cette crainte de Dieu ? C'est la motivation non négociable de la personne spirituelle. Dieu, sa présence, sa volonté et sa gloire sont la raison pour laquelle la personne spirituelle fait ce qu'elle fait. Il n'a qu'une seule motivation dans sa vie - vivre de manière à plaire à son Seigneur. Elle ne vit pas pour son propre plaisir ou celui des autres. Elle ne vit pas pour ce qu'elle peut posséder. Il fait ce qu'il fait parce que Dieu est et a parlé. C'est le seul système d'orientation de son existence. Il fait ce qu'il fait non pas parce que quelqu'un le regarde, ou par peur des conséquences, mais en fin de compte à cause d'un amour profond, d'un culte et d'une révérence pour Dieu. L'idée de lui désobéir sciemment et délibérément est impensable.
Paul David Tripp, Age of Opportunity, 1997, p. 118-119
What is this fear of God? It is the nonnegotiable motivator of the spiritual person. God, His presence, His will, and His glory are the reason the spiritual person does what he does. He has a single motivation in his life – to live so as to please his Lord. He does not live for his own pleasure or the pleasure of others. He does not live for what he can possess. He does what he does because God is and has spoken. This is the sole guidance system for his existence. He does what he does not because someone is watching, or out of fear of the consequences, but ultimately because of a deep, worshipful love and reverence for God. The thought of knowingly and purposefully disobeying Him is unthinkable.
Paul David Tripp, Age of Opportunity, 1997, p. 118-119
Le pardon est l'économie du cœur... le pardon épargne la dépense de la colère, le coût de la haine, le gaspillage des esprits.
Hannah More
Forgiveness is the economy of the heart… forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.
Hannah More
Levez les yeux, vous dont le regard est fixé sur cette terre, qui êtes envoûtés par les petits événements et les changements sur la face de la terre. Levez les yeux vers ces mots, vous qui vous êtes détournés du ciel, déçus. Levez les yeux, vous dont les yeux sont lourds de larmes et qui pleurez sur le fait que la terre nous a arrachés sans grâce. Levez les yeux, vous qui, accablés de culpabilité, ne pouvez pas lever les yeux. Levez les yeux, votre rédemption est proche. Quelque chose de différent de ce que vous voyez quotidiennement va se produire. Soyez juste conscients, soyez vigilants, attendez juste un autre petit moment. Attendez et quelque chose de tout à fait nouveau va déferler sur vous : Dieu viendra.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Look up, you whose gaze is fixed on this earth, who are spellbound by the little events and changes on the face of the earth. Look up to these words, you who have turned away from heaven disappointed. Look up, you whose eyes are heavy with tears and who are heavy and who are crying over the fact that the earth has gracelessly torn us away. Look up, you who, burdened with guilt, cannot lift your eyes. Look up, your redemption is drawing near. something different from what you see daily will happen. Just be aware, be watchful, wait just another short moment. Wait and something quite new will break over you: God will come.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Que signifie glorifier Dieu ? Cela ne signifie pas le rendre plus glorieux. Cela signifie reconnaître sa gloire, l'apprécier par-dessus tout et la faire connaître.
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 56.
What does it mean to glorify God? It does not mean to make Him more glorious. It means to acknowledge His glory, and to value it above all things, and to make it known.
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 56.
