Jésus-Christ nous a ouvert la porte du ciel par sa mort sur la croix.
Billy Graham
Jesus Christ opened heaven's door for us by His death on the cross.
Billy Graham
J'ai compris qu'au-dessus d'elle se trouvait, pour ainsi dire, un pont à câble, frêle, oscillant, mais praticable. Et ce pont, cette réconciliation entre le noir désespoir de rester ligoté et bâillonné dans le minuscule donjon de l'ego, et de s'élever vers le haut dans le rayonnement blanc de l'amour universel de Dieu - ce pont était l'Incarnation, dont la vérité exprime celle du besoin désespéré auquel elle répond. Pour notre faim physique, nous savons qu'il y a du pain ; pour notre faim spirituelle, nous savons qu'il y a le Christ.
MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE (1903-1990), JOURNALISTE ET ÉDITEUR DE MAGAZINE BRITANNIQUE
THE GREENS STICK, 1972
I grasped that over it lay, as it were, a cable-bridge,frail, swaying, but passable. And this bridge, this reconciliation between the black despair of lying bound and gagged in the tiny dungeon of ego, and soaring upwards into the white radiance of God’s universal love—this bridge was the Incarnation,whose truth expresses that of the desperate need it meets. Because of our physical hunger we know there is bread; because of our spiritual hunger we know there is Christ.

THE GREEN STICK, 1972
Il importe peu que le Christ qui remplit notre vision soit le Jésus historique, ou le Sauveur vivant, ou le Christ du Corps et du Sang, ou le Logos et le Seigneur de l'univers, ou le maître et le sens de l'histoire, ou le Christ dans mon prochain et dans ses pauvres. Ce ne sont là que des aspects de son être. Quel que soit l'aspect sous lequel il est le plus réel pour nous, l'important est que nous l'adorions.
JOHN V. TAYLOR
ÉVÊQUE ANGLICAN DE WINCHESTER
LE DIEU INTERMÉDIAIRE, 1972
It does not matter whether the Christ who fills our vision is the historical Jesus, or the living Saviour, or the Christ of the Body and the Blood, or the Logos and Lord of the universe, or the master and meaning of history, or the Christ in my neighbour and in his poor. These are only aspects of his being. In whatever aspect he is most real to us, what matters is that we adore him.

ANGLICAN BISHOP OF WINCHESTER

Charles H. Spurgeon
Our sorrows are all, like ourselves, mortal. There are no immortal sorrows for immortal souls. They come, but blessed be God, they also go. Like birds of the air, they fly over our heads. But they cannot make their abode in our souls. We suffer today, but we shall rejoice tomorrow.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Dieu donne son Gracieux Salut aux gens qu'Il considère comme perdus et condamnés, comme ceux qui n'ont aucune prétention sur Lui, à qui rien que Sa Libre Faveur peut apporter la délivrance. Il les sauve non pas parce qu'Il perçoit qu'ils ont fait quelque chose de bien, ou ont des traits de caractère d'espoir, ou des résolutions pour aspirer à quelque chose de mieux mais simplement qu'Il est Miséricordieux et ravi d'exercer Sa Grâce et de manifester sa Libre Faveur et Amour.
Charles Spurgeon
John Cotton
Those who have found the presence and power of the spirit of Christ breathing in their ministers, either to their conversion, or edification, will be slow to change such a ministry of faith, and holiness, for the liberty of church order.
John Cotton
C. Matthew McMahon
There must be a dread about the minister; one which works in such a way as to render him wholly dependent upon the Spirit of God to communicate the Word of God through him by means of his message. There must be a complete reliance on God and an utter destitute of self, or the pulpit is nothing more than an exercise in futility. If a preacher does not see this, then he is no preacher. If a preacher does not live this, he is not called to preach. Butterflies before preaching a sermon is not a warrant for understanding the weightiness of the task at hand. You can get butterflies before you speak at a bar-b-que. There must be a day-to-day cry from the closet of the preacher to the throne room of heaven, a besieging of heaven with a holy fervor that this man knows he is unable to bring any good to the people lest God is with him.
C. Matthew McMahon
"J'avoue que je donnerais à peine un penny pour tout salut que je pourrais perdre – la vie éternelle est la chose dont nous avons besoin, la vie de Dieu, qui ne peut jamais changer ou être enlevée de nous ; et c'est ce qui est donné à tous ceux qui croient en Jésus Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Thomas Brooks
God looks not at the elegancy of your prayers, to see how neat they are; nor yet at the geometry of your prayers, to see how long they are; nor yet at the arithmetic of your prayers, to see how many they are; nor yet at the music of your prayers, nor yet at the sweetness of your voice, nor yet at the logic of your prayers; but at the sincerity of your prayers, how hearty they are. There is no prayer acknowledged, approved, accepted, recorded, or rewarded by God, but that wherein the heart is sincerely and wholly.
Thomas Brooks
1. Dieu est toujours sur son trône ;
2. Le bon vieux temps n'était pas toujours si bon ;
3. La nature humaine reste encore et toujours la même.
Notre problème fondamental n'a donc pas changé, et la solution à notre souffrance profonde est toujours la même. Nous avons besoin de Jésus.

R.B. Kuiper
The Word of God tells us that Christ’s church is glorious… [But] today the glory of the church is thickly veiled. It is no exaggeration to assert that in the main it presents a picture of advanced decadence and extreme feebleness… Let it be said emphatically, the church is where the truth is. Sound doctrine always has been, is today, and ever will be the foremost mark of the true church. But who dares to assert that there is today in the churches a rising tide of interest in doctrine? By and large people do not go to church to learn about God from His infallible Word, but to be tranquilized. And that the glory of God is both the beginning and the end of common worship does not seem to occur to them.

Paul House, Who Will Be Saved? Edited by: House, Paul and Thornbury, Gregory, 2000, p. 229.
The early church was most useful when it preached the meaning of Christ through the lens of the whole of Scripture. It was most powerful when it maintained integrity with God and other human beings. It was most evangelistic when it understood that adherents of other religions, whether Jewish or Greek or Roman, faced eternal judgment without Christ.

Auteur inconnu, The Kneeling Christian, circa 1930, ch. 8.
Do not stop to ask the writer if God has granted all his prayers. He has not. To have said “Yes” to some of them would have spelt curse instead of blessing. To have answered others was, alas! a spiritual impossibility – he was not worthy of the gifts he sought. The granting of some of them would but have fostered spiritual pride and self-satisfaction. How plain all these things seem now, in the fuller light of God’s Holy Spirit!
Unknown Author, The Kneeling Christian, circa 1930, ch. 8.
John MacArthur
There’s no way to describe hell. Nothing on earth can compare with it. No living person can really comprehend it. No madman in the wildest flights of insanity ever beheld the borders of hell. No man in delirium’s ever pictured a place so utterly terrible. No nightmare racing across a fevered mind ever produced a terror to match that of the mildest hell. No murder scene with splattered blood and mutilated bodies could ever suggest the revulsion that one glimpse of hell could suggest; and our Lord saw that…and He was moved…to reach out to people.
John MacArthur
Albert Mohler
First level theological issues would include those doctrines most central and essential to the Christian faith… Denial of these doctrines represents nothing less than an eventual denial of Christianity itself… The set of second-order doctrines is distinguished from the first-order set by the fact that believing Christians may disagree on the second-order issues, though this disagreement will create significant boundaries between believers… Third-order issues are doctrines over which Christians may disagree and remain in close fellowship, even within local congregations. I would put most debates over eschatology, for example, in this category… Christians should never separate from a church over third-order issues.
Albert Mohler

We must face the fact that many today are notoriously careless in their living. This attitude finds its way into the church. We have liberty, we have money, we live in comparative luxury. As a result, discipline practically has disappeared. What would a violin solo sound like if the strings on the musician’s instrument were all hanging loose, not stretched tight, not “disciplined?
