Nous ne sommes pas seuls ! Dieu est avec nous, et la plus grande joie de la vie vient du fait de le connaître et de vivre pour sa gloire. Le psalmiste a déclaré : "Si je monte aux cieux, tu y es" (Psaume 139:8).
Billy Graham
We are not alone! God is with us, and life’s greatest joy comes from knowing Him and living for His glory. The Psalmist declared, “If I go up to the heavens, you are there” (Psalm 139:8).

1. Satan aime particulièrement nous tenter lorsque notre foi est fraîche, c'est-à-dire lorsque le chrétien vient de se convertir et est donc moins préparé à savoir comment résister à ses suggestions séductrices.
2. Satan aime particulièrement nous tenter lorsque notre foi nous semble la plus forte, c'est-à-dire lorsque nous pensons être invulnérables au péché. Si nous sommes convaincus que nous maîtrisons la situation, nous devenons moins diligents.
3. Satan aime particulièrement nous tenter lorsque nous nous trouvons dans un environnement étranger.
4. Satan aime aussi nous tenter lorsque notre foi est mise à l'épreuve dans les feux de l'affliction. Lorsque nous sommes fatigués, épuisés, persécutés, que nous nous sentons exclus et ignorés, Satan fait son jeu. Sa tactique la plus courante consiste à suggérer que Dieu n'est pas juste, qu'il nous traite injustement, à partir de quoi Satan lance alors son appel séduisant pour que nous n'ayons plus à obéir.
5. Satan aime particulièrement nous tenter immédiatement après les hauts et les bas spirituels. Les périodes d'exaltation émotionnelle et de prospérité physique peuvent parfois conduire à la complaisance, à l'orgueil et à un faux sentiment de sécurité. Dans ce cas, nous sommes des cibles faciles pour les flèches de l'ennemi.
6. La tactique la plus efficace de Satan pour nous tenter est peut-être de mettre ses pensées dans notre esprit, puis de nous reprocher de les avoir.
7. Une tactique connexe de la tentation consiste pour lui à lancer ses accusations comme si elles venaient du Saint-Esprit. En d'autres termes, il formule ses termes et choisit ses occasions de manière à ce que nous puissions facilement confondre sa voix avec celle de Dieu.

Seven Tactics of Temptation:
1. Satan especially likes to tempt us when our faith is fresh, i.e., when the Christian is only recently converted and thus less prepared to know how to resist his seductive suggestions.
2. Satan especially likes to tempt us when our faith feels strongest, i.e., when we think we are invulnerable to sin. If we are convinced that we have it under control, we become less diligent.
3. Satan especially likes to tempt us when we are in an alien environment.
4. Satan also likes to tempt us when our faith is being tested in the fires of affliction. When we are tired, burnt out, persecuted, feeling excluded and ignored, Satan makes his play. His most common tactic is to suggest that God isn’t fair, that he is treating us unjustly, from which platform Satan then launches his seductive appeal that we need no longer obey.
5. Satan especially likes to tempt us immediately following both spiritual highs and spiritual lows. Periods of emotional elation and physical prosperity can sometimes lead to complacency, pride, and a false sense of security. When they do, we’re easy targets for the enemy’s arrows.
6. Perhaps Satan’s most effective tactic in tempting us is to put his thoughts into our minds and then blame us for having them.
7. A related tactic of temptation is for him to launch his accusations as if they were from the Holy Spirit. In other words, he couches his terms and chooses his opportunities in such a way that we might easily mistake his voice for that of God.

Charles H. Spurgeon
Our Savior has bidden us to preach the Gospel to every creature (Mk. 16:15). He has not said, “Preach it only to the elect,” and though that might seem to be the most logical thing for us to do, yet since He has not been pleased to stamp the elect in their foreheads or put any distinctive mark upon them, it would be an impossible task for us to perform. When we preach the Gospel to every creature, the Gospel makes its own division, and Christ’s sheep hear His voice, and follow Him.
Charles H. Spurgeon
G. Campbell Morgan, Preaching, Baker, 1974, p. 13.
The preacher comes with good news; but he does not come with something to be trifled with. His message has an insistent demand, because he comes from a King.
G. Campbell Morgan, Preaching, Baker, 1974, p. 13.
John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 30.
Common morality, the glue of family and society, is grounded in self-love and the desire to enjoy pleasant circumstances. It is rooted in a desire for one’s own happiness, a morality based upon hope of a good return. This is not true virtue because it is self-centered.
John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 30.
Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 25, 38.
The first mark of a healthy church is expositional preaching. It is not only the first mark; it is far and away the most important of them all, because if you get this one right, all of the others should follow… If you get the priority of the Word established, then you have in place the single most important aspect of the church’s life, and growing health is virtually assured, because God has decided to act by His Spirit through His Word… The congregation’s commitment to the centrality of the Word coming from the front, from the preacher, the one specially gifted by God and called to that ministry, is the most important thing you can look for in a church.
Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 25, 38.
Ray Ortlund
Let’s never be intimidated or depressed by our ordinariness and inadequacy and unimpressiveness. Most of us are quite ordinary. All of us can improve our preaching, and we will. But the sacred given is the message of the cross, which the Holy Spirit empowers in men of the cross. Let’s not disempower it. Let’s trust God’s strategy. God Himself entered into His own strategy through an egoless nobody named Jesus Christ, whom this brilliant world crucified. That Christ is sending us out to preach His message by His power. We are fully equipped in every essential with the testimony of God, the message of Christ crucified, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Will you decide to stake your whole ministry there?
Ray Ortlund
Lorsque nous sommes dans la prospérité, nos prières sortent de nos lèvres ; c'est pourquoi le Seigneur est obligé de nous faire tomber, afin que nos prières sortent de nos cœurs, et que nos sens soient réveillés de la sécurité dans laquelle ils sont couchés.
Archibald Simson, A Sacred Septenarie, 1638.
When we are in prosperity our prayers come from our lips; and therefore the Lord is forced to cast us down, that our prayers may come from our hearts, and that our senses may be wakened from the security in which they are lying.
Archibald Simson, A Sacred Septenarie,1638.
A.W. Pink, The Attributes of God, Baker, p. 22.
There is only one safeguard against error, and that is to be established in the faith; and for that, there has to be prayerful and diligent study, and a receiving with meekness the engrafted Word of God.
A.W. Pink, The Attributes of God, Baker, p. 22.
John MacArthur
Jesus is not offering a makeover. He’s calling for a takeover, very different from the easy kind of Christianity light that we’re so familiar with.
John MacArthur
Jonathan Leeman
A local church is a group of Christians who regularly gather in Christ’s name to officially affirm and oversee one another’s membership in Jesus Christ and his kingdom through gospel preaching and gospel ordinances.
Jonathan Leeman
Oswald Chambers
To choose to suffer means that there is something wrong; to choose God’s will even if it means suffering is a very different thing. No healthy saint ever chooses suffering; he chooses God’s will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.
Oswald Chambers
Thomas a Kempis
Adversities do not make a man frail. They show what sort of man he is.
Thomas a Kempis
Richard Baxter, The Reformed Pastor, chapitre 3, section 1.
Content not yourselves with being in a state of grace, but be also careful that your graces are kept in vigorous and lively exercise, and that you preach to yourselves the sermons which you study, before you preach them to others.
Richard Baxter, The Reformed Pastor, Chapter 3, Section 1.
Thomas Brooks
God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.
