What is the goal of this warfare? To disarm angelic beings? No! Christ has already done that on the cross, as we read in Colossians 2:15: “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” It is simply that we take a stand, remain immovable, and that paradoxically is to advance. You advance by standing firm – as Paul repeats in Ephesians 6:11, 13, and 14.
Melvin Tinker, Wisdom to Live By, Christian Focus Publications, 1998, p. 181.
La vérité est que sans Christ il n'y a pas de bonheur dans ce monde. Lui Seul peut donner le Consolateur qui demeure Éternellement. Il est le Soleil ; sans Lui, les hommes ne se sentent jamais au chaud. Il est La Lumière ; sans Lui, les hommes sont toujours dans le noir. Il est le Pain ; sans Lui, les hommes sont toujours affamés. Il est l'Eau Vive ; sans Lui, les hommes ont toujours soif. Donnez-leur ce que vous aimez, placez-les où bon vous semble, entourez-les de tout le confort que vous pouvez imaginer, cela ne fait aucune différence. Séparé du Christ, Le Prince de la Paix, un homme ne peut pas être heureux.

“Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50). Entrance to heaven requires a redeemed body. The body must be rid of the law of sin at work in its members. At the present time, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The day is coming, however, when instead of being a hindrance to the spirit, the body will be the perfect vessel for the expression of my glorified mind, will, and emotions. Right now, we wear our souls on the inside. But one day we will be “clothed in righteousness” as we wear our souls on the outside, brilliant and glorious.

For the Holy Spirit is prayer's great Helper. We are incapable of ourselves to translate our real needs into prayer. The Holy Spirit does this for us. We cannot ask as we ought. The Holy Spirit does this for us. It is possible for unaided man to ask what is for our ill. The Holy Spirit can check this. No weak or trembling hand dare put in motion any mighty force. Can I – dare I – move the Hand that moves the universe? No! Unless the Holy Spirit has control of me.

Il y a une conscience dans tous les hommes par nature. Qu'on ne l'oublie jamais. Déchus, perdus, désespérément méchants comme nous sommes tous nés dans le monde, Dieu a pris soin de se laisser un témoin dans nos poitrines. C'est un pauvre guide aveugle, sans le Saint-Esprit. Il ne peut sauver personne. Il ne conduit personne au Christ. Elle peut être brûlée et foulée aux pieds. Mais il existe une conscience en chaque homme, qui l'accuse ou l'excuse ; l'Écriture et l'expérience le déclarent (Rom. 2:15).
J.C. Ryle, Commentaire, Matthieu 14.
There is a conscience in all men by nature. Let this never be forgotten. Fallen, lost, desperately wicked as we are all born into the world, God has taken care to leave Himself a witness in our bosoms. It is a poor blind guide, without the Holy Spirit. It can save no one. It leads no one to Christ. It may be seared and trampled under foot. But there is such a thing as conscience in every man, accusing or excusing him; and Scripture and experience alike declare it (Rom. 2:15).
J.C. Ryle, Commentary, Matthew 14.

Thomas Watson
There is a great deal of difference between falling into a temptation, and running into a temptation. The falling into a temptation shall work for good, not the running into it. He that falls into a river is capable of help and pity, but he that desperately turns into it is guilty of his own death.
Thomas Watson
Charles H. Spurgeon
Nothing can so gloriously fit you to preach as descending fresh from the mount of communion with God to speak with men. None are so able to plead with men as those who have been wrestling with God on their behalf.
Charles H. Spurgeon
E.M. Bounds
Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God’s work and is powerless to project God’s cause in this world.

Jonathan Edwards
How astonishing is it that a Person who is blessed forever and is infinitely and essentially happy should endure the greatest sufferings that ever were endured on earth! That a Person who is the supreme Lord and Judge of the world should be arraigned and should stand at the judgment seat of mortal worms and then be condemned. That a Person who is the living God and the fountain of life should be put to death. That a Person who created the world and gives life to all His creatures should be put to death by His own creatures. That a Person of infinite majesty and glory, and so the object of the love, praises and adoration of angels, should be mocked and spit upon by the vilest of men. That a Person infinitely good and who is love itself should suffer the greatest cruelty. That Person who is infinitely beloved of the Father should be put to inexpressible anguish under His own Father’s wrath. That He who is the King of heaven, who has heaven for His throne and earth for His footstool, should be buried in the prison of the grave. How wonderful is this! And yet this is the way that God’s wisdom has fixed upon as the way of sinners’ salvation, as neither unsuitable nor dishonorable to Christ.
Jonathan Edwards
Adrian Rogers wrote : « The Bible is not primarily a science book. It is not written to tell us how the heavens go; it is written to tell us how to go to heaven. But when it speaks on science, it is accurate. »
John MacArthur, The Battle for the Beginning, 2001, p. 137.
Random noise could never produce a Bach cantata. Random letters floating in an ocean of alphabet soup will never spell out a chapter from Moby Dick. When we hear the music, we know there was a composer. When we read coherent writing, we know there was an author. How much more does this principle apply to the detailed information contained in the DNA of every living creature?
John MacArthur, The Battle for the Beginning, 2001, P. 137.
L'amour de l'argent est une chose épouvantable ! Il rend les yeux et les oreilles impuissants et rend l'homme pire qu'une bête sauvage, car il ne tient compte ni de la conscience, ni de l'amitié, ni de la fraternité, ni du salut.
Jean Chrysostome, Père de l'Église primitive
A dreadful thing is the love of money! It disables both eyes and ears, and makes men worse to deal with than a wild beast, allowing a man to consider neither conscience nor friendship nor fellowship nor salvation.
John Chrysostom, Early Church Father
Le christianisme est une religion de sauvetage. Il déclare que Dieu a pris l'initiative en Jésus-Christ de nous délivrer de nos péchés. C'est le thème principal de la Bible.

Christianity is a rescue religion. It declares that God has taken the initiative in Jesus Christ to deliver us from our sins. This is the main theme of the Bible.

RECTOR EMERITUS OF ALL SOULS CHURCH, LONDON
BASIC CHRISTIANITY, 1958
Les hommes semblent penser que Dieu est sous l'obligation d'accorder le salut aux hommes coupables ; et que, s'Il en sauve un, Il doit tous les sauver. Ils parlent de droits, comme si un homme avait un droit devant le Trône de Dieu, à l'exception du droit d'être puni pour son péché.
Charles Spurgeon
Avec la mort, tout nous sera enlevé, tous les biens terrestres, les richesses, la beauté du corps et du vêtement, les habitations spacieuses, etc., mais la vertu de l'âme, ce vêtement incorruptible, restera avec nous éternellement.
Jean de Cronstadt
With death all will be taken from us, all earthly goods, riches, beauty of body and raiment, spacious dwellings, etc., but the virtue of the soul, that incorruptible raiment, shall remain with us eternally.
John of Kronstadt

Unceasing prayer is God’s avenue for His children to react to all happenings.

Mike Taylor, From Legalism to Grace, 2001.
The biblical motivation to avoid sin is that we are no longer sinners by nature, and that sin goes against the new nature that God has given us.
