C.S. Lewis
Someone has said, “None are so unholy as those whose hands are cauterized with holy things;” sacred things may become profane by becoming matters of the job… I’ve always been glad myself that Theology is not the thing I earn my living by.
C.S. Lewis
ST. FRANCOIS D'ASSISE (1182-1226)
FONDATEUR ITALIEN DE L'ORDRE FRANCISCAIN
Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to His beloved is that of overcoming self.

ITALIAN FOUNDER OF THE FRANCISCAN ORDER
Helen Keller (1880-1968)
ÉCRIVAINE ET RÉFORMATRICE SOCIAL AMÉRICAIN
(AVEUGLE ET SOURD DEPUIS L'ÂGE DE 19 MOIS)
Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.

JACQUES MARITAIN (1882-1973) PHILOSOPHE FRANÇAIS
Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.
JACQUES MARITAIN (1882–1973) FRENCH PHILOSOPHER
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The ultimate test of my understanding of the scriptural teaching is the amount of time I spend in prayer. As theology is ultimately the knowledge of God, the more theology I know, the more it should drive me to seek to know God. Not to know “about” Him but to know Him! The whole object of salvation is to bring me to knowledge of God… If all my knowledge does not lead me to prayer there is something wrong somewhere.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 11,
This is the great business of life – to “put our mouths out of taste for those pleasures with which the tempter baits his hooks.” I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term, than to gain a distaste for it, because of a superior satisfaction in God.
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 11.
Jonathan Leeman
Christians possess a special power and corporate identity when formally assembled. Paul writes of when the Corinthians church is “assembled…and the power of our Lord Jesus is present” (1 Cor. 5:4). Later in the letter he refers to when they “come together as a church” (1 Cor. 11:18), as if they are somehow more “a church” when together than apart.
Jonathan Leeman
FRANCIS A. SCHAEFFER (1912-1984) PASTEUR ET ORATEUR AMÉRICAIN PRESBYTÉRIEN
Because of lack of fortitude and faithfulness on the part of God’s people, God’s Word has many times been allowed to be bent, to conform to the surrounding, passing, changing culture of that moment rather than to stand as the inerrant Word of God judging the form of the world spirit and the surrounding culture of that moment.
FRANCIS A. SCHAEFFER (1912–1984) AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER AND SPEAKER
Robert Murray McCheyne
The purest joy in the world is joy in Christ Jesus. When the Spirit is poured down, His people get very near and clear views of the Lord Jesus. They eat His flesh and drink His blood. They come to a personal cleaving to the Lord. They taste that the Lord is gracious. His blood and righteousness appear infinitely perfect, full, and free to their souls. They sit under His shadow with great delight. They rest in the cleft of the rock. Their defense is the munitions of rocks. They lean on the Beloved. They find infinite strength in Him for the use of their soul - grace for grace - all they can need in any hour of trial and suffering to the very end.
Robert Murray McCheyne
Matthew Henry
Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.

EDWARD JOHN CARNELL (1919-1967)
PRÉSIDENT DU SÉMINAIRE FULLER ET ENSEIGNANT ÉVANGÉLIQUE
We are alone when we enter the world, but when we leave it we shall feel the abiding presence of the Lord. As death draws near and we dread the dark journey ahead, the Lord will assure us that our lives are precious in the sight of God. He will gently say,“Child, come home.” Jesus has given his word that he will never leave us or forsake us, and his word is as firm as his character.
EDWARD JOHN CARNELL (1919–1967)
PRESIDENT OF FULLER SEMINARY AND EVANGELICAL TEACHE

Prayer is more than something we do it is something that God does through us.

Kris Lundgaard, The Enemy Within, 1998, p. 48.
The flesh hates everything about God. Since it resists everything about God, it resists every way we try to taste Him and know Him and love Him. And the more something enables us to find God and feast on Him, the more violently the flesh fights against it. It takes its battle to every quarter of the soul: When the mind wants to know God, the flesh imposes ignorance, darkness, error and trivial thoughts. The will can’t move toward God without feeling the weight of stubbornness holding it back. And the affections, longing to long for God, are constantly fighting the infection of sensuality or the disease of indifference.

The strength of temptation also comes from a tendency to push virtues to such an extreme that they become vices. For example, it is all too easy for the joy of eating to become gluttony, or for the blessing of rest to become sloth, or for the peace of quietness to become noncommunication, or for industriousness to become greed, or for liberty to be turned into an excuse for licentiousness. We all know what it’s like for pleasure to become sensuality, or for self-care to become selfishness, or for self-respect to become conceit, or for wise caution to become cynicism and unbelief, or for righteous anger to become unrighteous rage, or for the joy of sex to become immorality, or for conscientiousness to become perfectionism. The list could go on endlessly, but I think you get the point.

Priez toujours pour avoir des yeux qui voient le meilleur des gens, un cœur qui pardonne le pire, un esprit qui oublie le mauvais et une âme qui ne perd jamais la foi en Dieu.
Auteur inconnu
Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith in God.

We need to learn how wrong it is to think of prayer as a way of getting something from God. People often think of prayer as a way of talking God into doing what they want Him to do. This is what lies behind “name it and claim it” Christianity, the idea that I can influence God by offering the right kind of prayer. But that attitude ultimately leads to hell. As C. S. Lewis once observed, “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done.’ All that are in Hell, choose it.” Besides, why would anyone want to change God’s mind? The Bible says that His will is “good, pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2). Imagine what a mess our lives would be in if God always did what we wanted Him to do! For unlike God’s will, our own wills are evil, displeasing, and imperfect.
