Dieu offensera nos esprits pour montrer à quel point nos cœurs sont devenus calleux.
Bobby Connor
God will offend our minds to expose how calloused our hearts have become.

Auteur inconnu, The Kneeling Christian, circa 1930, ch. 2.
If our prayers are not answered – always answered, but not necessarily granted – the fault must be entirely in ourselves, and not in God. God delights to answer prayer; and He has given us His word that He will answer.
Unknown Author, The Kneeling Christian, circa 1930, ch. 2.
David Brainerd
I never got away from Jesus, and Him crucified, and I found that when my people were gripped by this great evangelical doctrine of Christ and Him crucified, I had no need to give them instructions about morality. I found that one followed as the sure and inevitable fruit of the other… I find my Indians begin to put on the garments of holiness and their common life begins to be sanctified even in small matters when they are possessed by the doctrine of Christ and Him crucified.

John Piper, Desiring God, p. 279.
Often our misunderstanding of God’s Word is due not to innocent intellectual slips or lack of information, but rather to a deep refusal to submit to God’s demands. A person who intends to manage his own affairs, maintain his pride, and secure esteem and glory from his fellow human beings will twist the words of Jesus to support his own self-esteem. The evil of the human heart precedes and gives rise to many of our apparently intellectual misunderstandings of Scripture.
John Piper, Desiring God, p. 279.
John Owen
A minister may fill his pews, his communion roll, the mouths of the public, but what that minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is and no more
John Owen
Isaac Watts, A Guide to Prayer, p. 69.
He that hears without ears understands us without our words. Yet as language is of absolute necessity in social prayer, that others may join with us in our addresses to God, so for the most part we find it necessary in secret, too, for there are few persons of so steady and fixed a power of meditation as to maintain warm devotion and to converse with God, or with themselves profitably, without words.
Isaac Watts, A Guide to Prayer, p. 69.
La capacité à trouver des fautes est considérée, par certaines personnes, comme un signe certain de grande sagesse, alors que, dans la plupart des cas, elle ne fait qu'indiquer une étroitesse d'esprit et une mauvaise nature.
James H. Aughey
The ability to find fault is believed, by some people, to be a sure sign of great wisdom, when, in most cases, it only indicates narrowness of mind and ill-nature.
James H. Aughey
John Calvin
Doubtful prayer is no prayer at all.
John Calvin
Charles H. Spurgeon
You and your sins must separate or you and your God will never come together. No one sin may you keep; they must all be given up, they must be brought out like Canaanite kings from the cave and be hanged up in the sun.
Charles H. Spurgeon
John MacArthur, 1 Corinthiens, Moody, 1984, p. 465.
A work that has little opposition from the antagonistic system of Satan is one that is doing little work for the Lord… The devil’s greatest opposition is the Lord’s greatest work.
John MacArthur, 1 Corinthians, Moody, 1984, p. 465.
J.C. Ryle
And here it is, I say it with sorrow, here it is that men fall short so miserably. Few indeed are to be found who pray: there are many who go down on their knees, and say a form perhaps, but few who pray; few who cry out to God, few who call on the Lord, few who seek as if they wanted to find, few who knock as if they hungered and thirsted, few who wrestle, few who strive with God earnestly for an answer, few who give Him no rest, few who continue in prayer, few who pray always without ceasing and do not grow weak. Yes: few pray! It is just one of the things assumed as a matter of course, but seldom practiced; a thing which is everybody’s business, but in fact hardly anybody performs.
J.C. Ryle
Sam Storms, Pleasures Evermore : The Life-Changing Power of Knowing God, 2000, p. 27.
Sin comes to us, taps us on the shoulder or tugs at our shirttail and whispers in our ear: “You deserve better than what God has provided. He’s holding out on you. You deserve to feel good about yourself. I’ll affirm you in a way no one else can. Why live in misery any longer? Come to me. I’ll give you a sense of power you’ve never known before. I’ll expand your influence. I’ll fill your heart with a sense of accomplishment. I’ll nourish your soul. You’ve never had a physical rush like the one I’ve got in store for you. Obeying God is boring. It’s a pain. He’s always telling you to do stuff that’s difficult and burdensome and inconvenient or ordering you to forsake the few things that really bring you happiness. Come on. You’ve only got one life. Obedience is ugly. My way is fun. My way feels good.”
Sam Storms, Pleasures Evermore: The Life-Changing Power of Knowing God, 2000, p. 27.
Sam Storms
Moral guidelines are oppressive and legalistic only to those who still love their sin. For example, the only reason integrity should be a burden to you is if you enjoy being dishonest. Righteous deeds will be bothersome only because you prefer unrighteous ones. Speaking the truth will hurt only because it feels good to lie. Obedience to the righteous commands of God is easy for those whose hearts have been gripped by grace and whose lives are empowered by grace (Dt. 30:11; Mt. 11:29-30; 1 Jn. 5:3).
Sam Storms
Ô Mon Père, je loue Ta Connaissance Divine, qui non seulement perçoit mes iniquités, mais fournit une expiation qui me délivre de la culpabilité d'eux, avant même que je sache que je suis coupable.
Charles Spurgeon
Charles H. Spurgeon
If you want that splendid power in prayer, you must remain in loving, living, lasting, conscious, practical, abiding union with the Lord Jesus Christ.

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
