Une simple assimilation mentale de ces vérités ne peut cependant pas résister à la tentation. La révélation de Dieu est positivement essentielle. L'Esprit de Dieu doit révéler comment nous sommes en Christ et comment nous sommes unis à Lui en un.
Watchman Nee
Mere mental assimilation of these truths cannot withstand temptation, however. The revelation of God is positively essential. The Spirit of God must reveal how we are in Christ and how we are united with Him in one.
Watchman Nee
Quand une personne dit : "tout ce que j'ai besoin de savoir, c'est Jésus. La doctrine n'est pas importante." Nous devrions immédiatement demander en réponse : "Qui est Jésus ?". Au moment où une personne commence à répondre à cette question, la personne est inéluctablement, inévitablement impliquée dans la doctrine.

En Jésus-Christ, le ciel rencontre la terre et la terre monte au ciel.

There are, of course, those whom God has determined that He would never give new life to. Those who have committed the unpardonable sin, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31), will not be regenerated. Those who have trampled under foot the blood of Christ (Hebrews 10:29), will not be regenerated. Those who have committed the sin unto death (I John 5:15-16) will not be regenerated. I do not pretend to know whether this is one, two or three distinct groups. I do know this – that those who fall under these texts do not come equipped with a signed affidavit letting us know for certain that they are guilty of this sin. As such, I don’t believe we can single out real flesh and blood people and determine – “That one is beyond redemption.”

Celui qui ne parle que de Dieu, mais jamais ou rarement à Dieu, abandonne facilement son corps et son âme aux idoles. Le chrétien met ainsi tout son avenir en péril par une vie de prière rabougrie.
Carl F.H. Henry
Whoever only speaks of God, but never or seldom to God, easily leases body and soul to idols. The Christian thus places his whole future in jeopardy by a stunted prayer life.

Prayer is not attempting to get our will done in heaven but His will done on earth.

Louis Berkhof, Théologie systématique, 1998, p. 577.
Strictly speaking, it may be said that the true preaching of the Word and its recognition as the standard of doctrine and life, is the one mark of the Church. Without it there is no Church, and it determines the right administration of the sacraments and the faithful exercise of Church discipline. Nevertheless, the right administration of the sacraments is also a real mark of the Church. And though the exercise of discipline may not be peculiar to the Church, that is, is not found in it exclusively, yet it is absolutely essential to the purity of the Church.

Prayer is not performance but climbing up to the heart of God.
Martin Luther
Richard Capel
Delays be dangerous, our hearts will cool, and our affections will fall down… Satan hath little hope to prevail unless he can persuade us to omit our duties when the clock strikes, and therefore his skill is to urge us to put off till another time as fitter or better. Do it anon, next hour, next day, next week (saith he); and why not next year ?

All my theology is reduced to this narrow compass – “Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.”
Archibald Alexander
La mort n'est pas laïque ni neutre ; la mort est inexorablement théologique et terrible. La mort est une explosion de trompette des cieux pour fuir Sodome et courir vers Jésus-Christ alors qu'il en est encore temps. La mort est un avertissement ; la mort est une invocation ; la mort est un appel à prendre Dieu au sérieux, et à nous jeter sur sa miséricorde.
Owen Strachan
Phillip Keller, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, 1970, p. 59.
Material success is no measure of spiritual health. Nor is apparent affluence any criterion of real godliness. And it is well for us that the Shepherd of our souls sees through this exterior and takes steps to set things right.
Phillip Keller, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, 1970, p. 59.
John MacArthur, Titus, Moody, 1996, p. 128.
The preacher must put himself out of the way and let God’s Word speak through him unhindered. No matter what his training, experience, or personal abilities, he has spiritual authority only to the extent that what he says conforms to God’s Word. But as with Jesus’ own teaching, when a minister of God does faithfully proclaim that Word, those who reject his teaching reject God’s truth and are as much accountable for their rejection as if the Lord had spoken the truth with His own lips. It is in that way, and only in that way, that a pastor is able to speak with spiritual authority. It is also in that way that he is commanded to speak with spiritual authority.
John MacArthur, Titus, Moody, 1996, p. 128.
John Angell James, Christian Progress, 1853.
Why is it that so many professing Christians make no spiritual progress, and indeed make no efforts to grow in grace? Why? Because they care nothing about it! To take up a “mere profession” is all they desire; but to proceed from one degree of piety to another; to grow in grace – is no part of their desire… Is it possible to be a Christian and yet destitute of this desire to grow in grace? No, it is not! I tell you, it is not! If you have no concern to grow in grace – there is no grace in you! You are a piece of dead wood – and not a living branch! You are a spiritual corpse – and not a living man! In this state there can be no growth – for dead things never grow!
John Angell James, Christian Progress, 1853.

Regardless the depth of one’s pain, God promises His grace is always sufficient to meet the need to continue a Christian life of joy, peace, hope, service, contentment, faith and worship despite the circumstances being unchanged.
